I wore this outfit on a photo expedition with Robert in Manhattan’s Morningside Park. We set out to document the leaves turning (and took a lot of cute dog pictures too). This is one of the best parks in the city, and I can’t wait to explore it after it’s snow-laden.
I’m pretty sure this dress was homemade; it has no tag, the inner edges were all cut with pinking shears, and the hem is clearly hand-sewn. I bought this dress strictly on the strength of the cut—I was ambivalent about the print of the fabric, but it’s grown on me since then. I love how the bright pink collar looks under this black wrap sweater.The sash of the dress is separate from the dress itself, and one day I want to wear a belt over the dress and then use the sash as a hair bow. Ha.
The stick pin on my coat is my mum’s old sorority pin—she was in Delta Kappa Gamma, a professional sorority for teachers. (She was also in a social sorority, but not the same one as me, so I’m not supposed to wear her badges from that one.)
Robert calls these his breakfast shoes. His friend once complimented them at breakfast, and he told her they were his special breakfast shoes. The name stuck.
Kiddos, what are you wearing?
