It has a matching scarf. Such a classic item, purchased about 30 years ago, still in perfect condition. I have not worn it, but I like having it and may wear it in the winter. </p> <p>I have jewellery from my Mum. She gave me her favourite item, a diamond pendant for my birthday before she died and I love wearing it as it reminds me of her. I also wear a ring of hers everyday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-memories-of-my-mom/page/2#post-2086300 Thu, 19 Dec 2019 01:45:10 +0000 cheryl 2086300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for sharing these sweet photos.

My mother passed away when I was 24 and I don’t remember what happened to her clothing. I do have her jewelry which I treasure and wear. It always reminds me of her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-memories-of-my-mom#post-2085857 Tue, 17 Dec 2019 17:27:38 +0000 Kari 2085857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is so sweet, Mary. I’m glad you have some tactile reminders of her, especially things that make you smile. I know it’s so hard to be missing someone you love at this time of year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-memories-of-my-mom#post-2085795 Tue, 17 Dec 2019 15:14:34 +0000 texstyle 2085795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a nice thing to be able to share (in spirit) with your late mom. I'll bet she would be so pleased to know you are able to make use of some of her things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-memories-of-my-mom#post-2085679 Tue, 17 Dec 2019 09:19:05 +0000 Jenni NZ 2085679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sorry too, Mary. Those are lovely pics of her. My Mum died 20 years ago when I was only 38. She was 79- had been an older mother. My children were quite young- 8, 5 and 2.<br /> I slowly got rid of her things but still have a small number of clothing items and do wear her jewellery. I love her “opal” necklace- they’re fake opals, but very good fakes and so pretty.<br /> Love the pics of you in the clothes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-memories-of-my-mom#post-2085612 Tue, 17 Dec 2019 02:53:24 +0000 Anonymous 2085612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary, I am so sorry for your loss but you look great in your mother's holiday sweater.&nbsp; I don't have any of my mother's clothes but still miss her after over 10 years, especially during the holidays.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-memories-of-my-mom#post-2085608 Tue, 17 Dec 2019 02:46:07 +0000 Jaime 2085608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful way to connect with your mother's memory! You look amazing in sparkles and fur. I think vintage fur is going to have a revival as people realize that much faux fur is a environment disaster. (Of course people could just forgo fur, but I wouldn't bet on that.)<br />Anyway, these pictures are heartwarming and it is so nice to see you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-memories-of-my-mom#post-2085583 Tue, 17 Dec 2019 01:23:58 +0000 DonnaF 2085583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so sorry for your loss. It's great you can wear her Christmas sweaters at this time of year when you may feel her absence the most and even wrap her coat around you for a hug. My mom was always a couple of sizes larger than I, but I have a bit of her costume jewelry and am at this very moment wearing one of her watches. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-memories-of-my-mom#post-2085578 Tue, 17 Dec 2019 00:52:59 +0000 Style Fan 2085578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so sorry for your loss.&nbsp; Your mother's sweaters are perfect for the season.&nbsp; You look lovely in her coat.&nbsp; I don't have any of my mother's clothing.&nbsp; I do have some of her jewellery.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-memories-of-my-mom#post-2085565 Tue, 17 Dec 2019 00:04:21 +0000 Joyce B 2085565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for your loss.

I’m sorry you’ve lost your mom. It’s nice you can remember her by wearing her “cute” holiday sweater. Great family photo. I wish you a peaceful and happy Christmas.</p> <p>My mom was much smaller than I am, only 5’2” and very slim, so her clothes wouldn’t have fit me at all. She died 22 years ago, at just the age I am now, when my girls were teenagers. I’ve thought of her often this fall... The times I missed her most were when my daughters got married, and when they had their own babies. She would’ve enjoyed those times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-memories-of-my-mom#post-2085507 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 20:27:39 +0000 Christina F. 2085507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is lovely - thank you for sharing.

What lovely memories. </p> <p>My mum just gave me a cashmere sweater of hers because she says, ‘mommy has gotten fat!’ She looks the same to me, tbh. The sweater isn’t really me, but it’s warm, so I will wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-memories-of-my-mom#post-2085486 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 19:14:17 +0000 Cardiff girl 2085486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m so sorry that you ve lost your mum.l hope that wearing her clothes helps you to feel closer to her and of course you look lovely in them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-memories-of-my-mom#post-2085478 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 18:27:04 +0000 Aquamarine 2085478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Condolences on the passing of your mother. These are such sweet photos. My mother is still alive but I have kept two of my dad’s most-worn sweaters...it’s how I remember him and gives me great comfort. One is folded on a shelf in my closet, in the middle of my own clothing items. I like seeing it every day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-memories-of-my-mom#post-2085475 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 18:19:16 +0000 taylor 2085475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awe, &nbsp;Mary , &nbsp;this is lovely. <br />&nbsp;This time of year can be so difficult when a loved one is not with us. &nbsp;Your mothers sparkly top sounds just right for you. &nbsp;I hope it brings you great happiness and a feeling of closeness to your mom.<br />I miss you and those fabulous shoes around here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-memories-of-my-mom#post-2085471 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 18:09:24 +0000 MsMaven 2085471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry about your Mom. The first holiday season following a loss is often difficult, I'm glad you found something useful.</p> <p>My Mom's clothes wouldn't have fit me, but I did have some of her jewelry, most of which was stolen, even though it wasn't worth much. I did give her jet engagement jewelry to my niece once I had it repaired, and my Dad's wedding ring went to my nephew. I think my sister still has her engagement ring. &nbsp;</p> <p>I do have lots and lots of photos though. It's fun to look at them and see the fashions she wore through the years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-memories-of-my-mom#post-2085469 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 18:06:10 +0000 merwoman 2085469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry &nbsp;to hear of your mom's passing Mary - wonderful way to honour her memory b y wearing the sweaters and fur ( so luxe!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-memories-of-my-mom#post-2085466 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 17:58:49 +0000 kkards 2085466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MsMary, so sorry to hear about your mom. how lovely that you can remember her by wearing her festive Xmas sweaters. my dad loved&nbsp; baseball hats, and i have a couple of his old ones that i will wear from time to time </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-memories-of-my-mom#post-2085451 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 17:22:27 +0000 Helena 2085451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely lovely Mary, and my deepest condolences on your loss. You look wonderful in your Mom's things and if I know moms, there's nothing that would make her happier than knowing she gave you something that make you smile!</p> <p>I have a few thing of my Mom's; mostly I just like to look at them I do have her signet ring that I like to wear, but it's a little big and with the cold weather it fits a little loose, so I'll save it for summer, when swollen fingers make it less likely to slip off!</p> <p>xx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-memories-of-my-mom#post-2085445 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 17:15:31 +0000 Kate 2085445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m so sorry to hear of your recent loss, Mary. How lovely that you took some of your mother’s clothes to wear. I love those Christmas sweaters. My mother, who passed away earlier this year, also had a couple of Christmas sweaters that she wore every Christmas. I didn’t keep those, but my sister and I both kept a number of items from her wardrobe. I also kept some of her scarves—she loved scarves and so do I. I love wearing them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-memories-of-my-mom#post-2085443 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 17:09:19 +0000 Glory 2085443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary how lovely to see a post from you. I’m so sorry for the loss of your mom. I don’t have any clothing from my mother but I do have 3 quilts she lovingly hand made. I have one on the bed in my spare bedroom. I also have a charm bracelet from my grandmother which I wear to all parties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-memories-of-my-mom#post-2085442 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 17:07:40 +0000 slim cat 2085442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My mom loves pretty clothes and always asks to find little something for her.

Not to mention that adorable sweater. How sweet to remember your mom through her clothing. I'm so sorry for your loss. It doesn't matter how old they are, right? It still hits you. And grief comes in such strange ways.&nbsp;</p> <p>I kept a sweater set that I had given my mom, from Land's End, and I do sometimes wear it! I think of her every time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-memories-of-my-mom#post-2085418 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 15:55:06 +0000 JAileen 2085418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>I’m so so sorry for your loss. &nbsp;How nice you could wear her ugly sweater.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>My mother is still wearing her clothes. &nbsp;She’s 95 years old and just gave up driving this year. &nbsp;In the Bay Area! &nbsp; &nbsp;My mother had a sweatshirt with a Scottie on it and gave it to me because we have a Scottie, Mr Skunky (not his real name). &nbsp;And&nbsp;I’ve given her some of my things. &nbsp;For example, I had a boiled wool coat that I gave her, and a lavender wool sweater.&nbsp;<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-memories-of-my-mom#post-2085417 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 15:53:42 +0000 deb 2085417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My mom gave me her fur 2 years ago and I have no clue what to do with it so it hangs in the office closet.
