Your most nostalgic item: In my sister's first summer at sleepaway camp (she was 9, I was 5), she made me a Hanes tee adorned with a bizarre Garfield design that incorporated stars and ice cream. I've been wearing it to bed for almost two decades, so it's pretty much the softest shirt in the world.
Your favorite clothing item: A black sheath dress I got on sale at Searle. It's all the things I adore in clothes: ladylike, evocative of the '50s, subtly sexy ... and black.
