That Summer.

To their credit, this new generation is borrowing some of our best material.

Whats old is cool again. Cotton and lace nightgowns. Strings of pearls. Embroidered blouses, flowy skirts.

Your nieces come to the house and rifle through your long shelves of vinyl and borrow tall stacks of the best albums. As good now as back then.

Maybe its time to tell them (not everything, of course) about the summer of 19-something when you followed your favorite band across the country and back, from Minneapolis to Modesto to Miami.

If you werent wearing a band T-shirt and cutoffs, you were wearing something like this.

An almost-unruly, loose braid falling over your shoulder. Every cell of your being steeped through with music.

I can almost hear the scratch of a needle on an old 33.

Follow the Band Wrap Skirt (No. J7512). A staple of warmer months, the wrap skirt. This one features an effusive, richly-hued Indian block print on airy 100% cotton. Ties at wearer’s left and delivers a flattering fit from waist to hip. Shirred for soft fullness at yoke seam below the hip. Falls to the ankle. Easy, versatile. As dreamy for a St. Lucia getaway as for Saturday morning shopping in Sag Harbor. Imported.
