Today, I step out in a vintage silk dress by Sookie, paired with orange strappy heels from BCBGMaxazria and vintage jewelry to match. This outfit is more than mere fabric; it's a story woven through time.
In my high school years, I 'borrowed' this dress from my mom's closet, unaware of its significance. It was a treasure from McShane's Exchange, purchased in the early 90s. Now, as fate would have it, I own the very store where it was found.
Wearing it today feels surreal. It's not just about style; it's about the journey—from pilfered garment to entrepreneurial emblem. This ensemble embodies memories and aspirations, a reminder that our attire often mirrors our narratives and trajectories.
So, as I walk, I carry with me not just a dress, but a tale of vintage splendor and personal evolution. I plan to wear it for many decades to come.
love,
A.
