So Ladylike

This is such a sweet dress, and by the size and tone, I believe it was made for my mom by her mother, on one of her trips to Asia. I truly love to dress my daughters, and wish they would still let me do it! But alas, there are no Peter Pan collars in their rotation, nor are there even any dresses. My girls are all about jean shorts, leggings and t-shirts. Oh well, who can blame them? Those are the most comfortable ensembles on the play yard. Maybe one day this will be their jam. Until then, I will be the custodian.

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.
