Inspirational Mom :: Camilla Olson
There are certain clothing items that I really can’t have enough of (coats being the main item – though I live in sunny California) and I refrain only due to my budget. Scarves are one of those items I would spend too much on if I could. You can have the most simple outfit on but if you throw on a nice scarf around your neck – it just adds the finishing touches!
