Looove the Hawaiian dress; sorry about the left behind one, but really, I can't stand when people selling secondhand stuff tell you that you are lucky to get it at that price because they could be charging so much more. I would think if you had a customer who wanted it,you would be willing to negotiate as it's better to have $20 than a dress sitting around.Forest City Fashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428940427287921203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-16165961806454654972012-07-23T13:56:07.032-07:002012-07-23T13:56:07.032-07:00How cute are the girls in the turbans?
