    "Check the frizzy 'fro. I just wanted feathered hair like all the other girls in class! But this dress was fierce-- the top was red,
    sweet-heart neckline, spaghetti straps, fitted; the bottom was like a peasant skirt, white with a splashy multi-colored painterly floral. I remember wearing it on a trip to Miami and feeling muy caliente!" -- Jessica T.
