the riding skirt:: rust


I have this picture of my mom.

It’s my favorite.

She’s 29, and she’s wearing a pair of high waisted culottes with a matching vest that she sewed herself and the most fabulous pair of cognac riding boots ever.

I have worshiped that image of her my entire life.

My beautiful mother.

Young, creative, stylish, understated, fabulous.

I used to sneak into her closet as a child and try those boots on.

They went all the way up to the top of my thighs but they were magnificent.

And I swore to myself, someday I would recreate that look.

When I sat down and sketched out my newest style, hers was the image in my head.

So for you, mom…


The Riding Skirt.

Ginger coming (very) soon.
