Rajeev's sister Manju was moving to Chicago, and getting rid of a lot of clothes. She gave this one to Rajeev to give to me, because she knows I loved dresses. And I love this one! It seems very Carly Simon to me - in this photo, you can't see, but it ends mid-thigh and so is perfectly complemented by cowboy boots. Though when I first got it, I couldn't quite determine the color, and that turned me off. Is it mint? Pesto? What the hell? Does it look good?

But when searching for an accessory to the dress, my eyes fell on a silver necklace my father gave me a few years ago. Its pendant was a silver sweetpea pod, with three little seeds nestled inside. I thought to myself, "Yes, sweetpea! That is the exact color of this dress!"
