Sir Duke


Above: H & M dress, vintage Gucci tote, Miu Miu heels, Forever 21 jewelry, Ray ban aviators.

Another hot summer day, another white dress out and about.

This time the dress is an old closet staple, unearthed from the vaults, and years out of circulation at H & M. I have seriously had this dress for about 10 years and it really never goes out of style (or shows all the items I dropped on it and stained it with over the years!).

Husband and I pulled over on the way up to NH over the weekend to take these shots at a mini-hatch shell on the Mystic river in Medford. I have drive by it a million time and always wondered about it. Imagine my surprise when I found the mural had been painted by some do-gooder students at my alama mater, Tufts. The bright colors and musical images immediately make me start humming the opening horns from Sir Duke, by Steve Wonder. Classic song for a classic dress.

Do you have any items like this? That you just seem to wear year after year?
