What I love about fashion and clothing is not the expensive labels or the fancy stuff. Of course they are fun to have…but what’s really exciting to me is re-wearing something old and re-creating something new. My top is from last year and my skirt is from my mom who wore it 30 years ago…

When I saw this knit pencil skirt in my mom’s closet I was 1) surprise I liked it and 2) knew I had to steal borrow it. It’s funny because growing up I never thought I’d like anything in my her closet. It’s pretty cool to know that I’m fitting into my mom’s clothes from 30 years ago and I love it! I love this knit sweater skirt because it’s so comfortable and cozy and it’s perfect for multi-styling (casual or dressy). I’ll be back next week mom, I hope you don’t mind! :)
