Pucci Maxi

Last night while out for an evening walk, we ran into our friends and neighbors Andy & Rose. They are a delightful couple, with the most adorable little girl. They came by for an impromptu chat-play-date. Rose shares my love of fashion, and is also incredibly knowledgable about it. We talked a lot about what to do with all the clothes, and I showed her a few of my favorite pieces, this was one of them. Believe it or not, this is actually meant to be worn over a bathing suit, the slit goes WAY higher than where my hand is….either way, this is one of the pieces that I will get repaired and keep, and if I get fit enough, I may even leave the slit, hey, life is short. We also talked about the evolution in Pucci's tags. This is one of the pieces designed exclusively for Saks, so this must be from the 60's or early 70's. Thanks for the feedback Rose!

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.
