Slips, Shorts, & Sentimental Dressing
What binds a simple black dress, a chandelier earring, a ghost of a bra, & a denim mini? They all remind me of someone. My grandmother’s jewelry box, my teenage summers, an old movie I sorta remember, a version of myself that always feels true. A little undone, a little dramatic, always intentional.
There’s something about the summer heat that leaves me feeling decision fatigue to a whole new level while getting dressed. The past week or so, I’ve just been leaning on my good black vintage Prada dress & letting it do the work. Whether I’m in the mood for a 6-inch pump & an updo or a hoodie tied around the waist with ballet flats. It always adapts. It always feels like ME. It's become my go to on days it’s too hot to think.
The right vintage earring can make a hoodie feel styled. No other jewelry, just a gaudy little statement on the ear. There’s something about it that makes me feel closer to my grandma, I remember looking through her jewelry box growing up & how each piece had a story along with it.
A Lacey slinky vintage undergarment is something I turn back to every summer it seems. I like the ones that look like they’ve seen something. Yellowing silk, lace barely holding on. They hang off the body like a memory. Sometimes I put one on just to float around the apartment. Not for anyone. Just to feel a little undone, a little otherworldly.
I’ve been on the hunt for a good denim short. Specifically a mid-to-low rise mini something reminiscent of 2013 Brandy Melville or LF. I kept searching… until I realized EB Denim makes exactly what I was picturing. EB Denim short supremacy I guess.
