Her favorite skirt was denim too…with a bit of tassel and fluff. Can you catch a peek? (Plain to see she is a cottage farm gal, what high society folk call~unpretentious. Then one day, she fancied a blouse made of suede. And her friend the Muse made her one, a custom fit…true to her form.It looks lovely on her, don’t you agree?
