Some outfits have stories attached to them, some don't. So much to love about this issue! The family picture, the idea of your mom making so many dresses, your mother-in-law buying you the dress, and the wonderful gift from Banana Republic. Your inner light shines through no matter what you wear!

Sister, we’re cut from the same clothes cloth! These days my addiction leans toward “there’s no bad weather, just bad clothes.”

Love love love this one—all of it & the photo is a treasure. AS Byatt (who you know I’m stuck on at the moment) said “all sartorial decisions are comic,” in part at least to make fun of her sister. (I’m sure she also knew that all phrases with the word sartorial are comic. )🙂

The time, attention & skill that your mom had to make 7 daughters' clothing (plus any of her own) is jaw-dropping. She continues to amaze me. And your first dress from a store. And the trench coat with the yellow lining. Just love it all!
