When I was younger I loved playing dress-up. I loved walking past the Disney store with my eyes wide open, seeing which new dresses were on display. I would ask my mom time and time again for early birthday presents, so that I could play princess in the latest and greatest Cinderella dress.
As I got older, I became more interested in Fashion. I would rummage through my moms old clothes hoping to find some vintage treasure. I remember my mom once telling me that my Grandmother took her to New York City (right after becoming engaged to my dad) and bought her a Lanvin dress. My eyes lit up...A vintage Lanvin!? Seriously!? To this day, I still think about what happened to that dress. We think it was either misplaced (or dare I say sold to a consignment store).
Now, when I clean out my closet, I always think about saving my favourite pieces (whether or not they are worn out) because one day, when I have a daughter, she might ask me for a vintage treasure.
Today, thanks to top designers like Marc Jacobs, Burberry and Phillip Lim, young girls no longer need tutus or Belle costumes. Today, they can look fabulous in the most adorable fashion get-ups, fit for a true princess.

I love the most Marc's creations for children! I have a two year-old sister who already copies me and my mom infront of the mirror:):):)
ReplyDeleteInvesting in fabulous clothes is really great.. those classical pieces of wardrobe like LBD and trench and gloves and fur coats (or even a bag, if we're talking about the IT-bags) are a must for conserving so like you said, one fine day your daughter(s) can find them and appreciate... So sad about that Lanvin dress though.. does your mother at least have a picture with it?:)
Unfortunately she doesn't! I did find some photos of her wearing really cute outfits from the seventies though. I wish she still had these clothes :) maybe ill post a few!
