It's a pity my invite to the Mar-a-Lago party got lost. I have the PERFECT outfit!

I found this while sorting through my Aunt's belongings. It is just too divine for me to part with it! Melania and I could have almost been twins!!

They traveled back and forth, quite a bit, and they were very fond of my aunt and uncle.

I have found quite a few interesting things that I suspect were gifts from them.

It is very good quality silk, fully lined, and the embroidery is delicate and not too showy like many. I've traveled in Asia a lot but my taste tends to be more tribal. Still my mom loved it and she actually wore it a couple of times for big New Year's shindigs.

Mrs Trump has 'a thing' with sleeves. The bell sleeves @ the RNC convention, that hot pink dress @the UN, draped coats & sweaters. We got used to toned arms.

As soon as I saw that dress, I knew I had to bring this back out from storage.
