Transcript

You've heard me speak the Gap squirt gospel by now. I have their linen squirt in black, gingham, red, and now I just got this one. It is the cutest little embroidery. This is not patterned. It's not just screen print. It's literal embroidery. Let me show you. It's like extremely cute little, like, almost looks like hand done. My favorite is the little fish. It's on sale right now. Also, notably, it's the good kind of skort. It has the actual shorts and it's a skirt in the bad. So it's the shorts hidden. It's on sale right no, size down.
