Vintage Beauty

Lately, I've been REALLY into vintage. Which is odd because I've always HATED vintage clothing. I am in complete love with lace and pearls and old dresses and such :) So after work, I decided to go vintage hunting with my brother by my side. After a few hours, we were annoyed and had bought nothing. I was so sad. I might have been too picky or too particular, but I know what I want; and it wasn't at these shops.

I gave up and came home. Then i got a brilliant idea, and i asked my mom if i could look in her closet. There were some very interesting dresses and clothes in there. But hidden behind it all was both of my mom's wedding dresses. I tried on her one from 1995 and it fit me great, but it wasn't really what i was looking for... and then i saw lace lace lace lace lace :) 

I was skeptical though because this one was from 1985 and kind of looked "weird." But it fit me PERFECTLY. and it was beautiful. That's the only word i can use to describe it. I am going to live in this dress.

1995- Mom married my dad, Brad Birkinbine

1985- Mom married my dad, Don Jensen

It was even so perfect that my favorite pearl necklace looks so great with it :) I just love this dress... Can you tell?

As I grow a little older every day, I am reminded how lucky I am to have the mother I have. I love her so much! And I dont say this often, but I am glad that there is a resemblance :)

I'd have to say that today was very successful. Thank you Mom :)

Until Next Time.
