Ah - the patchwork wrap skirt. This is an item that takes a bit of styling to keep it from veering into the "Yep, were up in New Hampshire year round now" territory. Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE New hampshire, but a wrap skirt in the wrong hands can go from zero to dowdy in about 10 seconds. My mom used to rock hers with a super slim, boat neck, cap sleeve, tee, and a pair of coordinating Jack Rogers. She would have also worn chunky gold hoop earrings- The bigger the better. I had to pair this down for a meeting later, (wearing nude high heel sandals in the upper pic, but I also love this skirt with a pair of vintage Frye boots for hanging out!) Oh and did you happen to notice the leapord patch on the upper right thigh? I mean that's my mom all the way. xoxo

This Blog comes from the heart and mind, (but mostly from the heart), of Amy Sklar, interior designer, mother, daughter, foodie, and lover of fashion.

I must admit, the driving force behind this blog was my need to somehow, some way, create a tribute to my dear mother Carole Lawrence. She was a great beauty, chef, friend and mother. Sadly, I lost her to cancer February 23rd 2013. Since beginning on February 23rd 2014 it has been my goal to wear a piece of her clothing, jewelry, or an accessory that she passed on to me, for a total of 365 days (Not in a row, sorry, I am also a mother of two, a small business owner, wife and friend. I tried to do it in a row, and it almost broke me.) I believe it is a fitting tribute to this incredible woman with the greatest sense of style I've ever known. A digital archive, a love letter, a journal, a remeberance for your children and future generations. I love you mom.
