My family means the world to me. The relationship I have with my mum and my grandma is extra special, we all have so much in common and the days me and my mum visit my grandmas and chat over a ham salad sandwich and vanilla slice are the best. Fashion is always something we have to discuss, the amount of times I've gone 'Skinny jeans are the only ones people wear now, people don't even think about boot cut any more '. And my mum or my grandma will go, 'Oh you mean drainpipe jeans?'! I mean as if? Drainpipe jeans don't sound too appealing to me! So funnily enough only a few decades ago those skinny jeans that we all own a pair of used to be in fashion back in the 70's, the name may have changed but its the same pair of jeans designed to make your legs look like they go on forever! This is always happening, a new trend out in high street stores and designer catwalks has been re-invented from back in my grandmas days! I love how fashion is recycled, and how some trends seem to come out of thin air but in actual fact they were worn before. The ever famous midi skirt that is at large among the high street this trend has been recycled from the 50's and a few year ago I bet most people would of gone, 'Oh that's so old fashioned' 'Too long, we need short skirts!' and now we see fashion fanatics all over the country supporting the midi length! Another advantage of having fashion forward family members is that borrowing clothes from them is simple! My grandmas love for fur and skater skirts is always handy if I ever need a one off piece! And my mums wardrobe (oh so similar to my own!) is at the touch of a wardrobe door, however the downside is she's a size 5 foot so borrowing her shoes is not on the cards. So to wrap up my little blogpost today, I love my family and there knowledge of fashion trends from the 1940's is also useful too :)

Fashion that lasts three lifetimes..
My family means the world to me. The relationship I have with my mum and my grandma is extra special, we all have so much in common and the days me and my mum visit my grandmas and chat over a ham salad sandwich and vanilla slice are the best.
