August 17, 2012

Piper's influx of highwaisted skirts lately have led to a dilemma- what shirt can we pair with these lovelies that will stay tucked in to show off the skirt adorable-ness? The answer- Skirt Shirts (or shirts-turned-onesies). They kind of remind me of the bodysuits I liked to wear in 7th grade. …
