Omg how much I relate to you (and this article). Been collecting items from that collection as well and have similar feelings. I can still remember seeing this collection for the first time and having the exact same thoughts. Thank you for this

I have loved reading your work and this was an absolute delight. I too remember thinking about what I would dress like when I'm grown up and remember having my mom buy me a silk skirt set for my 5th grade photo that felt equal parts playing dress-up and also so very me.

Beyond that though, I have loved reading you because of the way you seamlessly integrate your Indian heritage, stories, and threads within this piece and many of the others. It's truly poetic and makes me feel seen - so thank you.

I love that you collect a specific season of Prada, that is just awesome. So specific. Your two piece outfits are absolutely stunning, and I completely agree with this:

“Dress with it [humour] in mind and you may look a little out of the ordinary, which is a great way to be, and in a world where we have such finite modes of expressing ourselves, who cares what anyone thinks for as long we’re being ourselves.”

This is part of the years, having their effect on us, as we realize we can choose to project ourselves a certain way, and also, most people aren’t looking at us anyway.😉

An excellent article, thank you so much .💕

I have a Donna Karan skirt cerca 2006 or 2007 with such a similar tweed to the first skirt you are wearing that I had to take m iPad upstairs to my closet!

These pieces are timeless, including the wearing of, irrespective of your age. It is all in the attitude and how you carry yourself🙃❤️
