T.D.D. STYLE FILES | Celebrate Your Mama By Recycling Fashion Pieces From Her Youth
Mother's Day is just around the corner (this Sunday, May 10th!) and this got us thinking about the mother figures in our lives, and what they might have been like as a teen or twenty-something. What did they wear? Where did they hang out? What inspired them? We thought a fun way to tie-in celebrating mamas everywhere would be digging into their long-unworn chest of clothes in storage somewhere, giving vintage a much more personal touch than that perfectly worn-in 80s concert t-shirt you found at the Melrose Trading Post.

LOOK No. 1 «« Recycle, Reuse, Reimagine »»
Vintage can be such a fun way to find original items and mix up your look with a style accent that will be truly unique – practically no chance of accidentally outfit-twinning with someone (#awkward). But even better, there have been some seriously awesome fashion trends over the decades that are too good to let lie in the past. It's fun to imagine what your mom might have worn as a college student hanging out on campus, or as a young adult hitting the road with friends for a road trip. Each truly vintage item carries a long story with it and when you reimagine it and show it off in an outfit today you get to be part of that story too.
