Falling simply from neck to toes, it might be tiring to look at. But the simple addition of a solid border on the neckline frames you face and makes it the place to look. I don't know how you do it, but you always have a confident design sense. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing!Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636722923735228804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-74673126110461665802019-08-04T16:32:30.750-04:002019-08-04T16:32:30.750-04:00Beautiful outcome.
