Over All, It’s Just A Bad Idea

Posted on April 25, 2016 by Jill Foer Hirsch

I caught a segment on Spring Fashion on the Today show. I am horrified but must repeat their report that overalls are “back” in style. I don’t set these trends folks, I just report them. First of all, in my … Continue reading →
