Gowns the Color of Fall

Two beautiful gowns in fall colors this week for you. I hope some of you are getting some stunning foliage before the true cold of winter hits.

The costumes from Titanic really take me back. I was the right age when that movie came out. I was obsessed with that ship. I had been since I was very young and Robert Ballard had written his book, which I purchased at the Scholastic Book Fair. Do ya’ll remember the Scholastic Book fair? Wonderful. Wonderful!

I was driving past a movie theater with my friend the other day, and she remarked she had seen Titanic there eight times. I only saw it three times in the theatre.  I was talking about it to another friend as well, and I said “I think I must have been the only fourteen year old girl in 1997 who didn’t have a crush on Leonardo DiCaprio.” to which she responded “You were definitely the only fourteen year old girl without a crush on Leonardo DiCaprio.”

I was there for the costumes. I was there for the faithfully reproduced china patterns. I was there for the ship. …Leo is a perfectly fine actor, but just not my type.  I was the fourteen year old who had a crush on Timothy Dalton. That hasn’t changed, honestly.

Check back next week!
