Adornment
I for one am thrilled about the “new length” for dresses and skirts. I’ve always had a nostalgic yearning for the 1970’s when Yves Saint Laurent was designing his- flowing to –the- shin-gauzy-dresses -with- belts. I’ve been wearing this length for the last year with a great modern dress by ALC, Andrea Lieberman's wonderful collection. Her line can be purchased at http://http//www.net-a-porter.com/
Another reason I’m skipping to my closet for a longer dress is I won’t be competing with my fourteen year old. When having an adolescent daughter, I think we have to put a little more thought into what we are wearing. I certainly don’t want to look like I’m trying to hold on to my youth by wearing the things she wears. I want to look fashionable and keep my creative dressing mojo, but still somehow look like I’m her mother. This is actually quite a challenge but I think theses dresses can help that dilemma
