Yesterday, my friend Michelle and I checked out the Antiques Garage and then headed downtown.

My Mom the Style Icon: The Golden Sandals

My mother has always been one of my biggest style influences. She’s the person who told me that pencil skirts suit me best. She’s been through bell-bottoms and baggy sweaters.
