They all complained that they wished their mothers had been clothes hoarders so they could have cool clothes that were back in fashion again.<br />Not sure I have any photos of me wearing it as many were destroyed by rain but I think I'll have to obtain one of daughter wearing this jacket as it has a 30 year history!<br />Thank you so much for this idea :).<br />RobynRobynLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08050372484207822842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-60994482068769813082012-05-08T13:00:28.600+01:002012-05-08T13:00:28.600+01:00I left a long comment on this post the other day, ...I left a long comment on this post the other day, with a question, and now it is not here! grrrr!

My mother does not hoard anything so she would never still have any 'vintage' clothes :-) I suppose that could be partly contributed to the fact that me moved lots. However for me, I would have preferred clothes from my Grandma as I LOVE 50's clothing. I really enjoy these stories each month and I spend the next week catching up on them all. Have a lovely week :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06893669562473986542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-66557127240513954452012-05-07T02:16:33.773+01:002012-05-07T02:16:33.773+01:00I noticed your blog when I was reading Sabrina...I noticed your blog when I was reading Sabrina's latest entry and had to stop by. Please to forgive any breach of blogging protocol by an immediate response, but I wanted to pop in and say thanks for this lovely post.<br /><br />As I read about the white denim coat, I couldn't help but think of my wedding day last year. My "leaving costume" was the same vintage lace dress that my mother had worn on her wedding day, nearly 41 years before. With a new tulle petticoat and a hat from Marks & Spencer, it was the perfect way to combine then and now.<br /><br />Thank you for this lovely post and the moments of reflection!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16705712727281222308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-91848691618725291822012-05-06T23:06:51.987+01:002012-05-06T23:06:51.987+01:00Great story.
