I Recently I went through some photos of myself to give my niece for a project of hers. What stood out to me (even more than the fact I had a waist) was how I have grown up. A lot has happened since I stood there in the Las Vegas desert over 15 years ago.I want to dress to reflect this maturity, yet I still love the clothes of my younger years. It is a difficult balance, made more difficult by the fact items I once searched far and wide for (i.e 1940's size 8.5 platforms) are now available with the click of a button.
I won't give you the "when I was your age we had to walk to school up hill both ways" speech, but I will say gals like me were the road pavers and I am proud of that. But now we must find ourselves a way to gracefully grow older with vintage style. The blog I titled Wear This Not That: Mama Style is an example of the type of subjects I'll be writing more about.
Im 28 which is still darn young but I get what you're saying.I've been dressing vintage since jr.high and its fun to see old pictures and how all out I use to get but you are a fun inspiration to see that just because we grow up and get married doesnt mean we have to conform ti boring all normality.
ReplyDeleteI refuse to give it up. Vintage til death, no matter how silly it may seem to others.
