Showers of Femininity 16

We close out April with all new clothes. Having gotten a $10 off coupon from Kohl's, I went to check out their clearance racks and came up with a top, a skirt and two pair of pants...one faux-leather (size 16) and one satin (size 18). I was quite prepared to have to return the leather ones, but I was certain the satin ones would be a good fit.

Wrong!! I couldn't get the satin pair closed around my waist, but the leather ones were a perfect fit ~ as you can see in these pictures. (The satin ones are from the Dana Buchman line...obviously they size small.) I went to a thrift store to find a top to go with them and came out with this lovely linen cheongsam style blouse with a mandarin collar.
