The Mom gets a good laugh these days at a lot of the things I buy and how much they resemble things that she bought when she was my age back in the 70's. Everything from the color of dishes to the style of clothes has recycled back into style.
Now I should preface this by saying, the Mom has been known to hold onto some things for a really long time, which I always give her a hard time for, but it's actually really neat now to be able to compare her original and truly vintage fashions to today's styles. I've already adopted one of the first blazers she bought out of college, a few cute handbags, and a handful of necklaces.
But today the Dad and I got to experience her most prized 'vintage' piece (which I don't think she'll ever surrender to me!):
The Bug Glasses!
(Or so my brothers and sister and I nicknamed them when we were kids...Little did I know I'd be shopping for these in my lifetime!)
I think she bought these when my sister was born in the 70's and has held onto them ever since. Now she loves pulling them out and reminding us all how fashionable and ahead of her time she was/is :)
