In with the Old

Over the past few weeks I have been looking for a good vintage store in Dallas. I have been wanting to find some cool new pieces but I don't want to spend alot of money on new clothes and jewelry. Most of the stores I have found have so much junk and it would take alot of time to dig through everything. This weekend I went home to my parents house and went shopping in my mom's closet. I found so many cool things that she is letting me keep that she has had for a really long time. I found some vintage necklaces and old dresses and jackets that she is letting me alter. It also made my mom feel good that I like her stuff because we have always had different tastes in clothes and jewelry. In this recession it can be really helpful to go back and look through what you already have. Even things stored away in your back closet that you have been meaning to get rid of may have come back in style. This is also a good lesson to keep all of your special clothes and jewelry because you never know if they might have a come back.
