I had an appreciation for vintage dresses, thanks to my mother, who’d always told me that dresses and skirts were a woman’s rebellion against the world’s ruthless nature. Soft and vulnerable and bold at the same time.

“At my neck, I clutched the small vial of my mother’s ashes that I wore, hanging from her old rosary she used to keep in her pocket. It was a silly superstition my mother had told me once. She’d always worn a ring of my grandmother’s strung on a necklace. When I’d asked why she wore it all the time, she’d told me that the dead never harmed those who carried something that belonged to them. I didn’t even believe in God, but my mother did, and a part of me felt compelled to keep the rosary for that reason.”
