My Most Unique Clothing Item

The most unique clothing item I own was something I dreamed about before I ever acquired it. I had a dream about the writer Anaïs Nin, in which we were both sitting at an outdoor café in Paris. It was the early 1930s. She got up and walked away and I noticed her dress. It was a sheer pale pink organza, layered in tiers. A few days later, I went into my favorite vintage clothing store, and saw this exact same vintage dress hanging on the wall in the back. I was amazed, and bought it immediately, even thought its age made it too fragile to wear. But I still treasure it.

Spring clothing: the Easter Dress

My favorite article of clothing for spring has to be my Easter dress—I look forward to wearing it each year! It is designed after the popular 1950’s styles with a halter top that accentuates my chest, narrows at the waist, and fully blooms out over my hips for that attractive, Marilyn Monroe feel. The dress itself is white with print of light blue flowers, and the halter straps and the edge of the dress are trimmed in sky blue. It might not be a church appropriate dress, but it’s lovely to wear outside and feel the warmth of the sun on my bare shoulders.
