Second Skin

Everybody has a favorite set of clothes that they enjoy wearing more than any others. I call these second skins.

I’ve had a couple in the past 10 years or so. The first one from the set probably dates to about 7-8 years ago, while the last one is from the present. Dressing up and actually taking the photos was like traveling back in time and looking at six different selves. What’s also fascinating is that, although the older clothes take most of my storage space, I only seldom wear them. They generally lie around like skins that I have shed in favor of new, better ones. However, they all tell a story that’s linked to a very specific period of time or event in my life.
