Tales to Tell

Whether we have eventful lives or not, our clothes have tales to tell. They tell tales from our past, from another time, all but forgotten. It is because of these hidden stories that I love wearing pieces handed down from my Grandmothers. This cropped Oscar de la Renta jacket belonged to my American Grandmother. She wore this jacquard beauty to her ninetieth birthday party in Nashville, Tennessee, along with the matching Oscar de la Renta floor length skirt and Manolo Blahnik mules. She looked divine.
