The Iconic White Shirt

Iconic white shirts, I love them and I have found yet another one I adore. Growing up when I was a teenager I was always diving down my dads wardrobe and pinching a white shirt. I think most women of my age wore their parent’s shirts tied up at the waist or over a boob-tube, don’t […]
