Seeing that show was like standing in a field crowded by a traveling carnival until a storm hit washing it clean and leaving only the essential and beautiful tree.

We see the drama of a profound statement in dress devoid of superfluous artifice and tricks.</i><br /><br />Would that today's fashion icons live by this. Clothes too tight, too garish, too embellished, then hung with too much jewelry.<br /><br />Where did classy and polished go? Impeccable is now a lost word.<br /><br />Thank you for this piece....<br /><br />Anon2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
