Miss T

There are many things in my closet that have their own story...and these vintage Ferragamo boots are no exception. These boots have traveled to South America, walked the streets of New York, gotten caught in the rain (that mother nature can be a real biatch sometimes!), been in awkward situations (ok, I was the one in the awkward sitch, but they were there to accompany me!), have met new and interesting people, and have definitely been asked where one might purchase them. And this is just since I have owned them! These fabulous 30 year old treasures were given to me by a very special (and extremely fashionable) woman named Theresa (Miss T). She was like my grandma growing up and taught me such wonderful things about fashion namely, how to always be a classy lady (ok, so she probably wouldn't have approved of my goth stage but you can't win em all!).  So, every time I put these boots on I am reminded of her and all of the stories these boots have lived to tell.
Soia & Kyo Leather Jacket, Tory Burch Sweater, Alternative Apparel V-Neck, Blank Moto Jeans, Vintage Ferragamo Boots, Balinese Bangles, Waxing Poetic Charms on Tigerlily Chain, Saks Disc Necklace, Eric Javits Leopard Hat

Do you have anything that makes you think of someone special when you wear it?

I love those jeans with the stitching on the knee. Lovely outfit!! And your leather jacket! I have been searching like crazy for a leather jacket that is NOT stiff.

Love the story about the boots. I think any time I wear a scarf I think of my mom because she is a scarf nut! Baha

This is a great story! I have a charm that my mom gave me when I was a kid. The cool part is that there's a rose engraved in it. She got it because of my name, Rosa.

Lovely story!! I love your boots and those jeans are hot!! I have a few pieces in my closet that are most memorable and remind me of certain people in my life. I have a sweater that always reminds me of my boyfriend. Maybe because I wore it a lot when we were first dating.

I love the boots, and the story is just wonderful! :)

This is going to sound kind of nuts, but I own a few German traditional dresses call dirndls that I inherited from my dear grandma when she passed away. Admittedly I can't wear them often, but the chances I get always make me feel connected to her.

My mama's vintage suede boots make me happy every time I slip them on my feet. Clothes with stories behind them are so much more interesting!

Valerie said...

Those boots are insane and so are your jeans!!! What a fabulous look. I love when clothing items have meaning to them and remind you of events in your life. I have a few that remind me of when I met my husband that are really fun to wear!

The boots are amazing and you are too cute with the hat/ boot combo.
I have a few items from my mom. The item I wear the most often is her burberry hat. She was a very fashionable petite woman with a lot of spunk. oh how I miss her.

My mother thinks that all her old clothes are hideous. She actually let me have an old bikini of hers that she bought in Hawaii during the 60's and I just love it. It's a tropical print made out of cloth, sits very low on the hips, but the top, unfortunately doesn't fit me. (She forgot to pass on her topside to me.) But I just love it anyways! It reminds me of her, and it is super cute and vintage.
