Reise Moore

LET ME START with a confession: I’m a diehard thrifter whose first great score four decades ago was a 1930s peach silk robe that cost two bucks and made me feel like a Hollywood vamp. That gateway garment from a long-gone Adams Morgan charity shop hooked me for life on fabulous vintage fashions and costume jewelry. Much of what has filled my closets and drawers since has come from thrift and consignment shops, flea markets, estate and yard sales.
