Pink and Black and oh so Posh
This item from MaryJanesandGaloshes is by far one of the most interesting gifts that I have seen on Etsy. Where was this a few a years ago when one of my Posh Lady Pal's were going through a divorce? Although divorce is a touchy and sad subject, come on ladies--it is also a brilliant new beginning, a celebration of a new stage in womanhood, no matter how old or young you are or the circumstances. This gift says "You are STILL fabulous, let's celebrate you and keep it up!"
