What I Was Wearing the Day I met Mike.

Since we're friends, I can admit that I've been more inspired by my garden this week than art or craft.

To get my mind going, I headed over to Miranda July's site, "Learning to Love You More" to accept one of her 60-odd creative assignments.

I chose #55: "Photograph a Significant Outfit." The idea being that the outfit became significant because of an unexpected happening. Not a photo of an outfit you chose on purpose for a special event.

So this is what I was wearing the night I met my husband. Very ordinary.  A white shirt, Lucky jeans, and some suede sandals my sister bought me at Marshall's in Chicago when I didn't have $20 on me. Never did pay her back.   

Mike and I met four years ago on a Friday night at Smith and Wollensky in Miami -  where we both were living at the time. We chatted for awhile, then agreed to meet on Sunday morning for a walk on the beach. That was the beginning of our story, and this is what I wore.
