Our lovely parents on their honeymoon in 1982.
Before our mom got herself hitched to our dad, she was a gorgeous long-haired hippie (the real deal: protests, artsy, poor but endlessly creative, etc.). Cath and I constantly harangue her for getting rid of those Frye boots (she saved up for months- and they were only $75 back then), suede vest and peasant shirts that used to hang in her closet when she was our age. Even with little money, and even less closet space, our mama looked good - and that to us is a true fashion hero.
So when I saw this shirt reminiscent of one she wore on her honeymoon (hair shorter, style a bit more classic than hippie) I snatched it off the H&M sales rack. I think my mom looks better in hers, but that's as it should be if you're a fashion icon.
Shirt, h&m; belt, vintage; shorts, old Gap jeans cut; boot, A&E on sale ages ago
