This lovely dress is another gem from Roulette, my favorite Carrboro vintage shop. It's the first dress I bought - or wore! - in a long time, as winter tends to slow down dress-y instincts. Here I am on the floor of my sister Clare's Manhattan apartment, next to their lovely minimalist tree. I wore the dress to Christmas Day dinner at a dim sum hub in Chinatown: a caucus of Byrnes, Wieners and friends. I sat next to my dear cousin Elizabeth, and we started talking about boys and relationships and kissing as if no more than a heartbeat had passed since our days on Martha's Vineyard.
