recently, while visiting michigan, i pillaged my mom's storage. this dress belonged to my grandmother, but still had it's original tags on. though i detest pink clothing --pink is charming in nature, saccharine on women -- it always feels amazing to pull something so beautifully made over my head. it is in mint condition, with a matching sash, but i thought my black scarf would pop.
i know people monetize their blogs by selling ad space; but i also heard of a blogger that re-sells her garments. she puts together a cute outfit and then readers can buy the elements. this dress, as lovely as it is, will never be something that i wear into the world. even though it was my grandmother's, i'd rather it be enjoyed. after all, my grandma Lois never even wore it. (it's not really her style... i wonder if it was actually bought for my mother or aunt -- not that i can imagine either of them touching it with a 10ft pole.) women in my fam don't really do femme.

this dress immediately called to mind the Valentino spring runway. the proportions and the lace and the palette.
