The American Rose ~ Love + Grace

childs-hand-holding-white-rose-for-peace

Today, there is so much trepidation in the United States, the stress is palpable. I am 66 years old and have clear memories of our nation under game changing duress: Kennedy, Selma, Vietnam, Watergate, 911.  But nothing in our country’s past has shaken our core quite like this election. I never believed that embarrassment would ever infect our patriotic spirit. It’s not my intent to be political in this column. I won’t be declaring my allegiance although I have one, absolutely. This is a very black and white defining point in America’s History. I wish I could crawl into a bed of roses and pretend that the voters will do the right thing.

The best way to achieve this reality might just be to curl up in Love + Grace’s  flannel knit American Rose pajamas. These PJ’s, available XS-XL are a chic way to cocoon oneself while weathering this storm. The “Kashmere” fabric drapes softly to flatter the female form while promising effortless comfort. It is printed in grey/blue tones, colors generally associated with both blurred options and calm vision. Personally, I wish our country’s choices were not so polarizing. Then the final decision would be easier for all citizens to rationalize. Perhaps by day’s end we will find some peace. In the meanwhile, the comforting caress of the American Made Love + Grace Fall collection will have to suffice.

    Gail, Thank you for your post. I too am 66 and woke up with Vivien Leigh’s quote, “tomorrow is another day” . We have another election, and luckily I have a pair of Love+Grace PJ’s on right now. The Roses will be my next purchase…. I love Julie’s designs.
