there was a time (while living in a supply closet in a Harvard dormitory for example) that i wouldn't have considered any outfit for a "night out on the town" complete unless it shimmered, glittered or sparkled.
the gold lamé blouse/coat/jacket was my favorite at the time; but there was also the sparkly silver top made of steel wool and christmas tree tinsel, the sheer shirt with the rhinestone bauble buttons (that i gave right off my back to Chris from RPI one night at the Power Company), the green silk blouse with the victorian ruffle collar, and the most famous- the silver pantsuit (i'll have to remember to make a separate entry about this outfit that includes Cole's boom-boom skirt).
my closet can still be raided by just about anyone (size, gender and age not being a real issue), but that resplendent metallic sheen i was once so fond of can now only be found in my collection of Sal's Boutique neckties.
