looking back – the ombré dress

Soooooo……back in the day i used to make dresses. i have many, many sketchbooks filled with designs and a few minutes ago, while looking for some tracing paper, i got sucked into the trap of flipping through a few. Oh boy. i just had to post this one. The date says 2002. i totally don’t remember the year, but i know i had just seen Cameron Diaz rock the red carpet in a dress that most critics disliked, but i LOVED. it was drapey and silky and she wore a bangly necklace or something as a sash at her hip. She looked like a couture gypsy! i’d LOVE to look like a couture gypsy! Man, i wanted that dress. Soon after, i came across some ombré charmeuse and thought i’d have to give it a go.

Yep, that’s my rendition of myself (hair was way short then)…much skinnier and aloof than my actual self – haha!

Yep, i loved the dress.

No…..i have no idea where that dress is today. C’est la vie!
