Day 61 of The 100 Day Poetry project

 Day 61 of The 100 Day Poetry project


I read several poems about articles of clothing today which gave me the idea to write about my great grandmother's mink stole. I had to ask my mom about it because I know nothing about its story. My great-grandmother Johanna immigrated to the U.S. in 1906. My grandma was her youngest child. My mom wore the stole once and I'm not sure if my grandma or aunts wore it at all. I've only worn it once. It's definitely vintage and not really fashionable. So it lives in my closet.

Do you have interesting vintage clothing?
