I was in Germany, wrapped in the tenderness and sorrow of visiting my seriously ill parents. In the midst of it all, I chose to wear an outfit that felt like armor and poetry at once. Sometimes, dressing up isn’t about the world seeing you. It’s about feeling like yourself again, if only for a moment.
Elegance can be quiet, almost healing. That day, it gave me a sense of calm, strength, and a whisper of beauty when I needed it most.
My look: Floral-appliqué ruched top in beige, and matching floral-appliqué ruched midi skirt, both by Magda Butrym, crystal-embellished gold-tone necklace by Versace, bi-color heart-shaped earrings by Alessandra Rich, 30 Montaigne SU oversized ivory square sunglasses by Dior, and Opera 105 leather sandals by Gianvito Rossi.
LoL, Sandra
