Gilty

This is a dress that I have worn for awhile, it is one of the earlier dresses that my mother passed on to me. I even have photos of me wearing this on our miniature cruise from many years ago. I think that this dress was one of the ones that my mom inherited from my grandmother via my great aunt. There is a duplicate of this one in black that I also have inherited and love. These are for sure handmade, and what I think is crazy, is that this dress is labeled a size 10. Alrighty then....The silk is so heavy and sumptuous, I feel very lucky to have these to take care of.

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.
