This dress tells a story.
It is not a name brand. In fact, I bought it for $20 at TJ Maxx eight years ago. Over the years, it has become so tattered and worn that my friend insisted on cutting the shreds that were hanging off the hem before we went onstage last night 😂
But the reason I kept it so long is this is what I was wearing the first time I performed with Foy at Americana Fest back in 2018, long before we knew what we know now. Nearly a decade later, we debuted our song “It Always Was” at the Grand Ole Opry - on the eve of The Wake album release no less. As unworthy and perhaps unglamorous as she seemed for such a prestigious stage and moment as this, it seemed fitting that the dress got to be included.
I will now happily retire this garment from performing, knowing she not only brought me great confidence, luck, and joy. This was also hands down the best $20 I have ever spent 👗
