How to make a jacket girlie without any pink
My daughter's favorite word these days seems to be "layers." She loves the idea of dressing herself in shirts and sweaters and jackets that she can peel off and put back on to her heart's content, especially with the cool mornings and warmer afternoons that we're experiencing right now.
