Happy Mother’s Day!  Now my mom is one of my best friends, but after coming across this photo recently, I thought I’d dedicate a post to my grandmother.

She and my grandpa are the couple on the right.  Weirdly enough though, my mom and I look a lot like my great aunt on the left.

Even though I only knew her in her 70s and 80s, I still understood what a well-dressed woman she was.  These stretch clasp belts that are all the rage right now?

Kimchi Blue Turtle Stretch Belt, Urban Outfitters, $24

Yeah, she had two.  Butterfly ones that I would “borrow” all the time.

And the terribly tacky handmade clip-on cardboard earrings I would give her as gifts?  She sucked it up and wore them, despite the huge fashion feux pas, as to not disappoint me.  What a classy lady.

Here are some ModCloth outfits I think she would appreciate.  You know what they say: what goes around, comes around.  And with fashion, I couldn’t agree more.

Go Your Own Grey Dress, $100

Boat House Brunch Dress, $160

Craving Curry Skirt, $33

Sailor Away Shorts, $65

Coffee Malt Top, $35

Petal Power Ring, $12

edit: Check out some of this jewelry of hers I wear.  The bracelet is from 1965, a gift she received for winning a President’s Award as an Avon Lady!
