Embellished and adorned with myriad crystals (which were painstakingly sewed on one-by-one, despite my failing eyesight and imprecise handiwork) this is the coat that I’ve been saving for a special weekend, and thus far this year our Mother’s Day weekend in New York has been one of the most special. It garnered a number of adoring compliments, and one profanity-laced exclamation of admiration coupled with a vigorous handshake from an overly-enthusiastic construction worker. I’d anticipated the way it sparkled and threw off the light of day – I hadn’t expected the brilliance of what it would look like beneath the lights of Broadway. It was a fitting finale to a long weekend of sparkle, which is how trips with my Mom usually go. Things are just a little bit more magical when we travel together.
As for the coat, it’s seeking another special moment to shine.
