my dad, and the skirt i wore to work today.

one summer when i was home from college, my dad traveled to mexico for work. like he usually did when he was on company travel, he brought back little gifts for all of us.

this particular time, he picked up this lovely skirt for me. at first glance, i was surprised how much i liked it. i was even more surprised when it fit. perfectly.

now, many years later, i still sport the skirt and no joke, every time i do, i get multiple compliments. like today. i got 5.

that's right. my dad may be a tough-john-deere-man, but he's got style.
