Peeking in the Clothing Box
If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I’ve been to at least six different places (from Goodwill to Payless to Dexter) looking for summer sandals. Because my tailbone injury won’t tolerate some styles and my feet are shoebox width, I was hoping that shopping early would get me something [...]
