Fashionable Savings: Sharing is Saving
Are you one of those fortunate people who have extremely fashionable mothers, aunts, or grandmothers? Maybe they have carefully maintained the styles of their childhoods, with 50’s updos and Jackie O fitted, quilted dresses. Or maybe you have a mother or aunt who’s closet is better than a vintage store because their fringed vests and maxi dresses are perfectly your size. In exchange, you offer knee-high boots and the occasional foxy fur trench coat. But let’s think outside the box for a second, shall we: what fashions of today can both mothers and daughters invest in, and enjoy, in their own separate styles, ages and daily lives? Here are some picks and tips for how you and your mom can style a piece to fit your personal needs, and think of every price as halfsies!
