I wore an Ossie Clark dress to the Women’s Jewelry Association Awards of Excellence in July 2014<\/a>. When I got home that night, I took a selfie with my new kitteh, Purrkoy.<\/p>\n

I wore the same dress to the Gerald Loeb Awards honoring business journalism this Tuesday. After, I took a selfie with the now two-year-old Purrkoy. He’s a whole lot grumpier about selfies now!<\/p>\n

Same dress, same cat. June 2016.<\/p><\/div>\n

I’ve had this dress since at least 2004.<\/p>\n

I’ve always thought the best of my looks for this dress was in 2004, when I wore red fishnets layered over opaque red tights, and finished off with red shoes.\u00a0 With Bill Cunningham<\/a> on my mind, I really wanted to wear this dress in a fabulous way, but it was an awfully hot June night for tights. Eventually it occurred to me I could go with the fishnets alone.\u00a0 And yes. I have to admit it: These are the same fishnets I wore back in 2004. I’m sure this is the first time I’ve worn them since then.\u00a0 I thought of throwing them out many times, but figured I’d need them eventually!<\/p>\n

Now she’s winning big editorial awards and I’m … twirling in my Ossie Clark dress!<\/p>\n
