I’ve had this skirt probably since college and let me tell you, it never gets old. Nothing like Marilyn Monroe to make a sartorial statement.

It would fit right in with Audrey’s wardrobe in Roman Holiday. I wore the dress on my recent trip to Venice while touring the vibrant island Burano. The…Read More
