Dress Like Your Mother? Lame.


Remember the fear of hearing when you grew up you would be like your mother? My mom and I never quite saw eye to eye. Fast forward 15 years, now I'm the mom taking my teenage daughter back to school shopping.  We are quite the opposite that my mom and I were. 

It wasn't always this way though. Last weekend I took my daughter shopping. I gave her  some space, letting her shop and choose the items she wanted. I smiled to myself as she choose some of the items I would have picked out for myself. I even held up a few items as a suggestion, and she liked them. WOW. Bonus points for mom. She insisted my fashion sense had changed, I disagreed that the  change was all her. Then I realized it was a little of both. I've slowly been breaking out of my "jeans and t-shirt" fashion rut and she is growing out of her pre-teen style. We seem to have found our happy medium. 

Wore: First Day of School


{Tee & Scarf - Wet Seal || Jeans - Old Navy || Jacket - Forever21 || Shoes - TOMS}

And yes I did her nails. =)

Lucky for me we wear the same size. Can you say double wardrobe?

    This is exactly how my mom and I were! When I was about 15 or 16 we started have very similar styles. We would always share clothes. We wore them differently, she'd usually do more layers and I had more accessories but the clothes were the same and the shoes! Now that I am 22, we still share tons of our clothes, but mostly shoes! I love going to her house for Sunday dinners and swapping shoes!
