Clothing can create powerful connections for us as daughters. I still think about the matching yellow and white 60s shift dresses my mom made for us,&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sentimental-floral-twinset-and-real-blooms#post-2385313 Thu, 01 May 2025 23:27:10 +0000 Column 2385313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember that twinset, Suz. My own mother designed and sewed at home, so I understand clothing attachments. (Actually, there is an old great essay called something like: “My Mother`s Sewing Machine, with Attachments.”) Maybe you should write about it! At any rate, you still look fab with it on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sentimental-floral-twinset-and-real-blooms#post-2385244 Wed, 30 Apr 2025 01:13:52 +0000 sarah 2385244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it when you post outfits with that twinset - it continue to look divine on you, and its sentimental meaning is so special. Happy birthday, mum. And happy spring in Canada! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sentimental-floral-twinset-and-real-blooms#post-2385071 Sat, 26 Apr 2025 21:22:44 +0000 Sal 2385071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty Suz and how nice to be able to keep and wear this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sentimental-floral-twinset-and-real-blooms#post-2385030 Sat, 26 Apr 2025 03:22:27 +0000 Carol 2385030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really beautiful set. Looks updated for this year! How nice to honor your mother.&nbsp;<br />You know, maybe a bit TMI, but I was thinking of getting a tattoo of hibiscus flowers on my leg, because that is a traditional decorative tattoo flower. Then I began thinking of all the flowers that I grew up with that I could use instead, because my mother was a gardener: apple blossom, cherry plum, violets, etc. I am not super close to my mother, and she is getting older. But somehow it is a tempting idea.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sentimental-floral-twinset-and-real-blooms#post-2384991 Fri, 25 Apr 2025 15:25:44 +0000 Suz 2384991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Robin</b>. and I am sorry about your loss -- 4 years ago is not that long.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Janet</b>, gorgeous flowers! Your spring looks similar to ours in face. We haven't had 80 temps yet&nbsp; -- in fact, overall until the last few days it has been quite cool -- but we do get enough sun that things start popping up. Our tulips are peaking now, our cherry blossoms are about to end, and azaleas are also popping out. We have the same problem with digging and munching critters -- especially with tulips -- but this year the rabbit births were later due to the chill, I guess, so the bulbs have come up before they've eaten them!&nbsp;</p> <p>I love that hoodie -- save it forever! It's a true classic!&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks, <b>Brooklyn, Star, Bonnie.</b></p> <p><b>Lisa,</b> I knew this would be right up your alley -- it has all the hallmarks of a great <b>Lisa</b> outfit -- trendy casual bottoms, cotton colourful top, structured bag, sneakers!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>And <b>Carla </b>-- you and I are both fans for the red bookend! And why not?&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks, <b>Jaime</b>! I am glad I saved this set. It's amazing how well it has worn. As Janet said, they don't make clothes that way any more.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sentimental-floral-twinset-and-real-blooms#post-2384958 Fri, 25 Apr 2025 13:07:39 +0000 RobinF 2384958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a nice way to remember your mom! Pretty sweater on you too! </p> <p>I have a few items of my mom's clothes. Fun to pull out and think of her. She passed away 4 years ago at just over 80 years old.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sentimental-floral-twinset-and-real-blooms#post-2384950 Fri, 25 Apr 2025 11:07:41 +0000 Janet 2384950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s such a pretty twin set, Suz! What a lovely way to remember your mom. </p> <p>I have a couple of pieces my mom bought for me that I can still fit into that I wear occasionally — a sweater and a skirt. In fact, I just got the skirt out of seasonal storage and was playing with new styling of it for this summer. The only clothing I actually wear that belonged to my mom, ironically enough, is a cotton hoodie that she kept at our beach house when I was growing up (the house where I used to live and that we sold last year). That may be my longest-slow-burning workhorse ever! It has to date back to the late 70s, but I still wear it frequently in warmer months at home. It’s 100% cotton but I’d swear it’s made of iron because it’s been worn and washed countless times and not a hole or frayed edge in sight. They don’t make them like that anymore! </p> <p>I bet spring is so lovely there! It’s beautiful here too, but way too short. I was lucky enough to catch Longwood Gardens in PA (pics 2-9) the other day in time before the tulips pass their peak — yesterday at Sherwood Gardens, just 90 miles south, most of the tulips were already nearly done, since we have had a couple of 80+ days (too soon!). Our azaleas in our yard are nearing peak now (10). Sadly, we cannot plant any bulbs in our yard without the local wildlife digging them up and having a feast! </p> <p>Enjoy the spring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sentimental-floral-twinset-and-real-blooms#post-2384948 Fri, 25 Apr 2025 10:55:56 +0000 Brooklyn 2384948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a lovely way to remember your mum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sentimental-floral-twinset-and-real-blooms#post-2384944 Fri, 25 Apr 2025 06:10:48 +0000 Star (Lise) 2384944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful.&nbsp; How great to have a sentimental piece that is wearable that ties you and your late Mom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sentimental-floral-twinset-and-real-blooms#post-2384937 Fri, 25 Apr 2025 04:42:41 +0000 Bonnie 2384937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit.

This outfit is right up my alley! And beautiful pink flowers against a lovely blue sky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sentimental-floral-twinset-and-real-blooms#post-2384928 Fri, 25 Apr 2025 01:34:05 +0000 Carla 2384928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely combination - especially the awesome bag and footwear bookending! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sentimental-floral-twinset-and-real-blooms#post-2384920 Thu, 24 Apr 2025 23:57:29 +0000 Jaime 2384920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful look and beautiful blooms Suz. And such a visceral and touching way to remember your mother </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sentimental-floral-twinset-and-real-blooms#post-2384913 Thu, 24 Apr 2025 23:40:11 +0000 Suz 2384913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always feel a little guilty posting about our flowers when so many of you have yet to see a single speck of green, let alone a bloom! I know that feeling...ugh.&nbsp;</p> <p>Spring is spectacular here, but autumn is much nicer in the east.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for the kind words. It is hard to believe it's been almost 10. years since my mother died -- she died in July, so we are not quite there. She got that 90th birthday, which is pretty amazing considering the way she treated herself at times! But she did love this twinset and I still love it, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sentimental-floral-twinset-and-real-blooms#post-2384910 Thu, 24 Apr 2025 23:12:45 +0000 Irina 2384910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember this set from previous years. Such a great sentimental piece and looks wonderful on you.&nbsp;<div>Thank you for the pretty flowers. It warmed up here but not that many flowers yet.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sentimental-floral-twinset-and-real-blooms#post-2384903 Thu, 24 Apr 2025 22:22:18 +0000 Ket 2384903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful, lovely way to remember your precious mother and celebrate spring &lt;3 I really love this on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sentimental-floral-twinset-and-real-blooms#post-2384901 Thu, 24 Apr 2025 22:14:15 +0000 JAileen 2384901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So very, very lovely. &nbsp;It’s nice to have something to remember her by. &nbsp;Our apples still have blooms, but were in their prime last week. &nbsp;My mother turned 100 last August, and likes NYDJ tops. &nbsp;Once I found this out, I gave her them for her birthday and Christmas for several years. &nbsp;She probably has enough. &nbsp;Hahaha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sentimental-floral-twinset-and-real-blooms#post-2384898 Thu, 24 Apr 2025 22:04:20 +0000 LJP 2384898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So classically pretty, Suz. And the blooms are gorgeous! &nbsp;I feel like I'm living in an alternate universe where it's still chilly and cloudy and nothing has greened up yet, never mind bloomed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sentimental-floral-twinset-and-real-blooms#post-2384895 Thu, 24 Apr 2025 21:51:04 +0000 Dee 2384895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab, such a darling twinset with a beautiful, cherished memory. Gorgeous spring blooms, hopefully our flowers in east will be blooming next month too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sentimental-floral-twinset-and-real-blooms#post-2384889 Thu, 24 Apr 2025 21:32:40 +0000 Cookie 2384889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, lovely! That’s the day after my birthday (and my dad’s). What a sweet way to remember her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sentimental-floral-twinset-and-real-blooms#post-2384886 Thu, 24 Apr 2025 21:19:11 +0000 Jenni NZ 2384886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that’s great Suz. I still have some of Mum’s things especially jewellery, only one thing I bought for her though, which was a brooch from the Isle of Skye I bought in 1988.<br /> Mum was born on 22 April 1920 so would have been 105 just the other day- 5 years older than yours. She didn’t quite make 80 though- died 3 weeks after her 79th birthday.<br /> You look gorgeous in that outfit.<br /> And lovely flower photos on my cloudy grey day here xx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sentimental-floral-twinset-and-real-blooms#post-2384883 Thu, 24 Apr 2025 21:11:14 +0000 Angie 2384883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE that KILLER twinset, <b>Suz</b>! It couldn't be more perfect for you - in sentiment especially. Happy 100th to your late Mama. You couldn't be a more radiant daughter blossoming with the Spring flowers either.&nbsp;</p> <p>White bottoms are magical with your silver hair :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sentimental-floral-twinset-and-real-blooms#post-2384879 Thu, 24 Apr 2025 20:17:39 +0000 Suz 2384879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every spring I break out my mum's Land's End twin set and it never gets old. I bought it for her maybe 15 years ago or more -- and kept it after her death a decade ago. She would have been 100 this year on her birthday, April 7.&nbsp;</p>
