"The skirt is really the find here...but let's pay homage to its origin. It started out as a full-on Grey Gardens mink trimmed Malcolm Starr hostess gown that I found at the Salvation Army (you just KNOW some amazing woman had the best of times in this baby!). My magician Jean from Ghost Tailor helped me to transform it into a marvelous high-waisted skirt. Hello, it has POCKETS. Every time I see this piece now in my closet, it gives me goosebumps. The Clare Vivier bag and the Sigerson Morrison boots are all-time winter faves, which I wear constantly."
