DAY 73 - WITH A SURCINGLE BELT
March 30, 2026
73.

WITH A SURCINGLE BELT
The summer after senior year,
no more babysitting!
First real job, part-time
The Villager, Har Mar Mall.
Classic 1960s boutique shop,
preppy A-line skirts,
Oxford button-down blouses,
wool blazers, bermuda shorts.
Madras plaid mania,
guaranteed to bleed.
First paycheck bought me
avocado green shirtwaist dress
with a woven surcingle belt:
heavy cotton webbing,
leather tabs, brassy gold buckle.
Shining moment, red-letter day!

Everything then seemed possible and within reach. tomorrow comes to meet me. sparkling like sun pennies on the lake of my childhood.
