I'm not the perfect person to demonstrate good manners and I have no decent evening clothes (it could be questioned whether I have any decent clothes at all because I wear jeans, tank tops, oversize sweatshirts and slouchy sweaters.... but that's another matter) so I wore black jeans because black is okay for just about anything and cashmere/silk sweaterLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451092262381231105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-31122188232134821142010-10-14T03:39:40.833+01:002010-10-14T03:39:40.833+01:00Oh that naughty Finn - Matti! ;-)
