Coffee Break: Skinny Print Calf Hair Belt
How many belts is too many belts? I rarely wear belts, to be honest, but when I saw this lovely calf hair polka-dotted belt marked to $12 I had to snap it up.

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Ashton Shirtdress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
