I’ve been waiting to get this dress for a while and I am thrilled that I have it now! One of my birthday presents to myself this year and I can wait to wear it in many different ways. So happy to get one of the last remaining ones!

Sassafras celebrstes my new start in returning to my verdant home area, the Pacific Northwest. May we all find the courage to start over again when things do not turn out quite as we hoped they would.

With 12 Zuri dresses as my work wardrobe, I wrote about Zuri and its ethos for my global economics MBA class. My teacher was so taken by all I had to say about Zuri that he offered a Zuri gift card drawing to our class—and I won! I knew exactly which dress I wanted—Sassafras. This pattern had been on my radar for months. It’s perfect for Eagles games, St. Patrick’s Day, the Kentucky Derby, gardening or a random Tuesday at work.

I enjoy how the Sassafras leaves and twigs seem to be growing with wild abandon in this print, much as they would grow in nature without interference. Any design that features something used by our forebears for food or medicine holds a place in my heart. I wear Sassafras with contentment, remembering real root beer and file gumbo I've enjoyed, made possible by the glorious Sassafras plant.
