Do you have a good style?

Talk about quiz serendipity. Jen asked about my “style” yesterday and whether I, like the marvelous Miss B., am/ever was a fashion plate. Or as we like to call it around here, a fashion girl.


Your Fashion Style is Classic

You wouldn’t be caught in animal prints, fake fur, or super bright colors
