Shoulder-Warmer (BoobTube)
[EASY!]
My
mother taught me always to leave the house with a wrap, even in the warmest of months, one never knows when the air conditioning
might be cranked a just a smidge too high, or when one might end up outside in those chilly late night hours.
Very
handy when its too warm for a sweater but too chilly to go without, this shoulderwarmer is affectionately nicknamed "The Boob
Tube." Transparent enough to show off the cutest of little black dresses, it has a texture that cuddles and color that grabs
the eye.
