I don't know if I am mourning my youth or truly missing my JimmyZ skirt......
I have been having dreams of myself in the various JimmyZ skirts I owned in my teens and twenties. My very first skirt was a knee length white JimmyZ wrap, looked awesome with my neon shirts and my bikini top! It was comfortable to dance, walk and bike in. O' man I have visions of myself in my little red Mazda truck, surf board and beach bike in the back, heading to Ponce Inlet in my JimmyZ skirt! I was stylish and RAD and felt free and sexy in that long white skirt! My next skirt was a light denim color with white Velcro bands, ooooo so chic! And for my 22 birthday I bought a black one, extra short that matched my swim suit. I recall visiting Michigan that summer and wearing my JimmyZ skirts, everyone was quite impressed and perplexed. As a surfer, I assumed everyone wore surf ware, but not in Michigan! I was quite the center of many conversations and was stopped quite often in public to be asked what I was wearing and how could they get one! Yes, JimmyZ was awesome, comfortable, versatile, flattering and coveted. I recall going dancing in my JimmyZ, it was the most versatile piece of clothing I think I have EVER owned in my 42 years on this earth. I call recall all of the trips, dates, and fun times in that long white skirt, I was some type of magical cotton that transformed me into someone really cool! I really wish I would have saved those skirts, even though they wouldn't fit my 40's figure today, I would still have the found memories of youth and style to pull out and reminisce. sigh......I love and miss you JimmyZ......
