The word of the day1 for March 9, 2007 is “couture” — noun 1 : the business of designing, making, and selling fashionable custom-made women's clothing. 2 : the designers and establishments engaged in couture. 3 : the clothes created by couture.
Yesterday evening, Lloyd found the photo of Cyb that I wanted. I gave him two of the shoeboxes that house the bulk of our photo collection last night before I went to get my haircut. By the time I came back, he had set about five photos aside that seemed likely. My instructions had been to find the photo of Cyb, approximately age three, in a light green Easter dress.
Besides the photo in question, Lloyd found one of her, age five in a dark blue dress with ruffles; one, age 10, in silver stripes; one, age two in pink; one, age four in a blue and silver sequined dance tutu. Still he found the one I wanted, so I now I can show Cyb what kind of Easter dress Caitlin needs this year—an impossible task to find a replica. However, I have no doubt that Caitlin will be cute in whatever she wears Easter Sunday.
The quote2 for today is from Christian Lacroix (b. 1951), French fashion designer. Quoted in Observer (London, December 27, 1987):
Haute Couture should be fun, foolish and almost unwearable.
