Swimsuit Cover-Up

The inspiration garment…

At TJ Max – for $55!  I don’t think so…even though time = $, I ENJOY the process, so here’s my ‘tale’ of my new Swimsuit Cover-Up. …. can’t WAIT to get to the Florida Keys this Friday for a week.  The weather BETTER cooperate!!!

First – I learned AGAIN that lousy, cheap fabric is a WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!!!  So is not using your brain!

I imagine I will hear you laugh with ‘identity’ and realizing that even I can make dumb dumb mistakes – just like I”m SURE you do!

ALL the details are at my Flickr Site which you can get to  at this link:
