Go Your Own Way:

 

When it comes to my overall style my mom probably summed it up best, "Stevie Nicks meets biker glam".  She also knows best when it comes to quality and exceptional taste.  When I was a little girl my mom said that after she would dress me for the day, I would always run back into my room and switch a few items changing it into a whole new outfit..my outfit.   She said I always had a way of putting things together to make it my own.  My sense of individuality and attention to detail has been filtered down from my mom and her tastes - her closet is proof, definitely my favourite place to shop.  This sheer cardigan used to be hers back in the 70's and now it's my new favourite layer to rock on a night out or to add some "Stevie" to my everyday wardrobe.  Additionally, those beautiful sterling silver triangle earrings with the ruby gem and stamped patterning are from her jewelry box, kept in great condition over the decades.  I couldn't tell you how many of my most prized pieces in my wardrobe had once belonged to my mom.  Luckily for me she had held on to the best of the best and now I have the pleasure of making them my own.  Well mama, you showed me the way, I just paved my own path to get there and added a few things along the way.
