Left: Aunt Vivian, Right: my mommy
This photo was taken in Nigeria ca. 1973.
You can look at some women and tell what kind of woman they were in the 70's. I look at my mom and want to go back and relive her teenage years. She is a pure hippie at heart and you can't take that from her. Despite being 1 of 7 well-dressed children, she broke apart and found her own individual style. At 17 she left Nigeria and came to the U.S to attend Michigan State. From there her fashion evolved while picking up American trends but still incorporating her roots. To this day I would describe her style as culture driven, sophisticated, and somewhat rebellious at times. Lucky for me we wear similar sizes and I'm all about sharing ;)
