No, but literally. This is my grandma’s old skirt.

Back in her well-to-do days, my grandmother had a few pieces of clothing custom made for her, this skirt being one of them. I love it because it just goes to show you how the styles all come back around. Can’t you picture this for sale at Anthropologie or ModCloth today? Maybe a bit more tailored, but I’ll work with what I’ve got 🙂 I also love wearing this old charm bracelet of hers:
It’s to commemorate a United Utilities service award from when she worked at Bell Telephone. Aren’t the little telephone charms the sweetest? The date engraved on the back of one is 5/27/68 (!!).

Yeah, it is always funny to see how style comes back around. Your grandma was hip!! That skirt is amazing, and it’s so cool that it used to be hers.
I really like your style and you’re so cute! 🙂

Your grandmother has some great taste! And I love how styles go in and out of fashion – what was old always becomes new again! Reason enough for us lovers of fashion to keep all our clothes!
