Beautiful 3/4 Sleeve Top

Pretty Purple Long-sleeved Top

Joe and I took his Grandfather to Good Will to try and find a suit.  We were successful!  While we were there he also found 6 shirts that he liked, and for helping him, he let me pick out these three items.  He used the senior discount and was able to get everything for $20 and change!  Good Will is AMAZING, and frugal!
