Happy Mother’s Day! Now my mom is one of my best friends, but after coming across this photo recently, I thought I’d dedicate a post to my grandmother.
She and my grandpa are the couple on the right. Weirdly enough though, my mom and I look a lot like my great aunt on the left.
Even though I only knew her in her 70s and 80s, I still understood what a well-dressed woman she was. These stretch clasp belts that are all the rage right now?
Kimchi Blue Turtle Stretch Belt, Urban Outfitters, $24
Yeah, she had two. Butterfly ones that I would “borrow” all the time.
And the terribly tacky handmade clip-on cardboard earrings I would give her as gifts? She sucked it up and wore them, despite the huge fashion feux pas, as to not disappoint me. What a classy lady.
Here are some ModCloth outfits I think she would appreciate. You know what they say: what goes around, comes around. And with fashion, I couldn’t agree more.
Go Your Own Grey Dress, $100
Boat House Brunch Dress, $160
Craving Curry Skirt, $33
Sailor Away Shorts, $65
Coffee Malt Top, $35
Petal Power Ring, $12
edit: Check out some of this jewelry of hers I wear. The bracelet is from 1965, a gift she received for winning a President’s Award as an Avon Lady!
