hand-me-down love
This dress, this lovely dress, is a hand-me-down. I grew up on hand-me-down's, from friends and cousins and my sister, so I'm more than comfortable taking someone's once-loved items. The fun thing about this particular hand-me-down piece, is that I originally picked it out for a friend. I barely remember it, because it was a few years ago, but my sister, myself, and our friend Erika went thrift shopping and I picked out this dress for Erika. I think she only ended up wearing it a few times, but when she recently moved out to the east coast she passed it along to me, knowing it would be something I would love.

ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I have only one hand-me-down story.
My Babushka bought an ushanka for herself a few years ago, and then said, "Oh here honey, it looks better on you. Oh look at you! You look so pretty! Like a pretty dark haired Ukrainian girl!" It may not have been vintage... not at all old... but it came from my most glamorous, European relative, which of course made me feel really good, and really Russian whenever I wore it in the winter. The End!
I tell such amazing stories, no?

Thanks for sharing your hand-me-down story! I'm not even sure what an ushanka is, but I'm sure it's pretty neat looking!
