i am not my mother

I am not my mother, but in this post I am wearing her earrings, ring and bag.
Thanks mom :)
Since I gave up shopping for Lent (praise Jesus that it's almost over) I've been raiding her closet to get my fix.
While this shirt is mine from Urban Outfitters, the colors make me think of the 70's and I could definitely see this in her closet back in the day.
Of all the things I discovered, this ruby ring is my favorite.

wearing: urban outfitters flannel, zara leopard scarf, thrifted belt, f21 jeans, aldo booties, mom's earrings & ring, vintage coach bag (also mom's)
worn to: a lunch date

    Your mom has so much cool stuff(my dream)! Your plaid shirt has such pretty colors it brings to mind the colors of nature as it springs forth. The ring is definitly the best!

    That bag is amazing! And I love the pattern mixing with the scarf. Mom's closets are always the best to raid.
