My Mom, the Style Icon

Insipred by a post on Dolls Factory mentioning a book about stylish moms and leading me to discover the blog that orginated it, I have planned this most special post on my blog for quite some time now...Am feeling excited, anxious and nervous at the same time, knowing none of those words or pictures will actually express my love and admiration for her, MY MOM! When emotions are so strong it just feels that no words are powerful enough...

The brains, the looks, the big mouth :) and a great passion for fashion and style...these and so much more I inherited from an amazing woman, my lovely mom! I just love looking at her inspiring pics, especially the ones from the 60s and 70s, admiring all her special looks, with mostly handmade, all unique clothes! An unsophisticated expression of style and class, with an extremly discrete sexy note and a personal touch of  good taste and creativity, a mix of girlie and a young, strong woman, always surprising and admirable - that's how I would describe her fashion statement...and it still feels like an understatment!

Most of the clothing items you see below, from the stunning wedding dress to that lovely swimsuit are her design, truly amazing DIY projects! Starting from the 60s to the 70s and also for the decades to follow one thing is always true: Fashion fades, her style remains! And the most beautiful part of it all is that my mom has cherished all her most precious dresses, suits, skirts, pants and accesories and I can enjoy wearing them today! My most precious vintage treasures I got from my mom :)

I will let those pictures speak for themselves, mentioning though that they actually offer a very poor view on my mom's unique beauty and style in real life...
