Farmwife Fashion: Fight the Frump, Fashion Up There was that one time I went to Italy. I can hardly believe that Debbie and I once had lunch in the open air in MILAN, the fashion capital of the WORLD. We sat in the Piazza del Duomo just down the block from Gucci. Landing there after our delightful chat with a chic and kind salesperson at the flagship Prada store, we were enthralled with the beautiful fashionistas of every age, strolling by us as we had our first genuine Italian pizza … [Read more...]
