What I Wore : Mama's Dresses

Today is my mama's 80th birthday.
Like I have before, I thought it only fitting to wear a few things that I dug up in her closet. 
Who keeps this stuff?
She does that's who.
Dress - Vintage (no tag left) | Sunglasses - Tom Ford | Beaded Necklaces - H + M | Shoes - Zigi New York
Dress - Vintage (no tag left) | Shoes - Calvin Klein

Sunglasses - Banana Republic
Necklace - Vintage
Dress - Albert Nipon
Shoes - Nine West
And just for fun, I take you back to the '60's.
Me in mama's dress. And mama in her how fabulous is that suit own.
Happy 80th Birthday mama!
I always wished to be half as cool as you.

    This is exactly what they mean when they say, "fashion is in the jeans/genes." Your momma's great taste in clothes definitely passed on...

    Happy Birthday to your mom! I love that she saved those dresses. The top one looks straight out Mad Men, one of my favorite shows.

    Oh I love this! How fashionable was your hot mama by the way?!

    Clearly you come from a long line of fashionistas!
    Judging by that second dress, it appears colour blocking is far from a new concept.

    Visiting for the first time and just had to comment on this one. How cool that your mom has kept these dresses...so cool! And the picture of her in that suit? That is one for a frame...what a stylish mama! Makes me want to pull out old pics of my mom and share them. She'll be 80 this year in September. Think I'll do that. :)
