I hadn't discovered it until a few years ago but it made me want to track down these fabulous women and their wonderful wardrobes - and, yes, my very own smock. It's now fantastic to read about all the women (both in your post and in the other comments) that the book, Last-Year Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05339517973272134452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4103542083293509751.post-80699588192547901052012-12-10T11:27:32.846-08:002012-12-10T11:27:32.846-08:00I LIVED by that book and spent a good ten years lo...I LIVED by that book and spent a good ten years looking for the French Jewelers smock. <br />I still google it every once in a while.<br />blackbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05474831322702380602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4103542083293509751.post-50934808381978147562012-12-10T07:25:41.916-08:002012-12-10T07:25:41.916-08:00Those were the days....

Those pages were ripped out, preserved and poured over, in fact I still have them and sometimes return to them to remind myself how I felt back then.
