This was a great early 1970s look that suited…

Standing so close she could actually see her purse full of points rewards cards (just love this point – keep picturing Kate with a Nectar card!), the clever blogger made a mental note of what Kate bought and then shared it with the Kate-loving blogosphere. And here is the little list. Kate tapped into the neat, tailored 1940s trend…
