Completely Random, But...

prosodicFor some reason, I have this need for a sundress (or two) in my closet. Something cool, loose and comfortable, that also looks flattering.
Not sure why I have this desire, as I hardly wear skirts or dresses, and it's not generally that incredibly hot here anyway.
But I want one.
There was this dress I bought in England 10 years ago, during my study abroad program in Bath. We were in...Glastonbury, I think. I was with my friend Kim, and we walked into some hippy-dippy shop...you know the type of place, with the distinct scent of incense and they sell all these hand-carved wooden trinkets from India, tye-dyed everything, batik stuff, and beaded curtains. I think every college campus has a shop like this (and Glastonbury is the perfect kind of town for this stuff).
Anyway...Kim and I both found identical dresses that we loved, just in different colors. She bought purple and I bought green. They were ankle length, somewhat form-fitting (I had a much better figure then), but still loose enough to be comfortable and flowy. Spaghetti straps. A bit of embroidery here and there, just some small floral pattern. My dress started out light green at top and got darker toward the bottom. Same with Kim's dress and the purple.
We wore these dresses all summer. I wore it for a few years afterwards. I LOVED that dress. I think I gained weight and then got rid of it, for which I am now heartily sorry. Because I still love that dress. And there is at least one picture of me wearing it that summer...Kim and I standing next to each other in our identical dresses. Adorable.
I want a dress like that again.
I think I know what to get with my birthday money.
