BUT IT’S NOT JUST WORKIN' GIRLS (ahem---meaning MELANIE GRIFFITH'S STATEN ISLAND GAL TOO) THAT CAN WEAR THESE SASSY SEPARATES.
A PRETTY LONG FLORAL CHIFFON FROCK AND A GAMINE SUIT IN THE SAME SPLASH OF FLOWERS ARE PERFECT “PATIO”OR WORK ATTIRE THAT ARE VERSATILE.
AND RUFFLES AND LACE TRIM SOFTENED SOME OF THAT SASSY EDGE.
PRINTS, Both FLORAL AND ANIMAL ...WERE MIXED UP WITH BLACK AND WHITE SOLIDS. AND THE BOLD GREEN FROCK, WITH A GATHERED Neck/Waist WAS OUR TOP PICK.
