Something Borrowed into Something New

In the past couple of years, it has come to my mom's attention that I have a thing for old things...
i.e: vintage, vintage-inspired, etc.
My mom chose to give me several pieces to satisfy my love of vintage.
These items being even more great because of the personal value.
The newest piece was given to me today from the depths of her closet.
A pair of Cazal sunglasses. My mom was a very stylish woman (must be where I get it from) and these sunglasses used to be very popular when she had got them in the 80's.



Similar to the wedding saying of having something borrowed, something new, something blue...
these glasses are mine to borrow from my mom and they are better than anything I can get new at a vintage shop.
This and several other pieces given to me I turn to quite frequently.

Look inside your mom or grandmother's stuff and find some pieces that are more valuable than any in a store.
Walk the talk with something passed down to you, and that more or likely is back in fashion!
