I would so like to have it myself. Looks stunning on you. And I agree with the others, you and your mother as such pretty women.

Then again, she does have a really cute skirt which has bunny prints (the tails were pom poms). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-920-history-repeating-aka-ive-turned-into-my-mother#post-1035713 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 17:06:34 +0000 Kyle 1035713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the whole '60s mod vibe. Very cool and you wear it well.

Like Ornella said, the lines are really clean even though the pattern is busy. You wear a shift dress really well Natalie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-920-history-repeating-aka-ive-turned-into-my-mother#post-1035679 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 16:10:15 +0000 Kristin L 1035679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the psychedelic print!

She was a stylish gal! (And yes, I do need a pair of white go-go boots! Maybe I can try my black&nbsp;Frye Melissa boots instead)</p> <p>Ornella, I think it's funny that when we are little, we want to dress just like mom and play dress up in her clothes. Then when we get a little older we rebel and find our own style. Then as we get older we start coming back around and looking more like mom again!

And it is really neat that you are channelling your Mum this way </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-920-history-repeating-aka-ive-turned-into-my-mother#post-1035507 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 10:14:10 +0000 Ornella 1035507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie, I love the dress. I think in all it's busyness it's actually sleek and simple and dead easy to style. I am not distracted by the pattern (which I also love), I simply love the style; I also love this length on you, the neckline is pretty, basically keeper and winner.</p> <p>As for the family&nbsp;history, I think it's hilarious and sweet, also totally natural - we grew up subconsciously taking in&nbsp;the aesthetics our mothers were presenting to us. We either dislike it very much or embrace it or feel intrigued by it and make it work for us. I love how you wear modern version of the style your mum wore all those years ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-920-history-repeating-aka-ive-turned-into-my-mother#post-1035502 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 09:29:22 +0000 goldenpig 1035502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got this hot pink and neon orange Muse shift dress from Zulily (final sale so no K/R). I wore it today and I realized that I have turned into my mother! This dress reminds me of the bright and boldly patterned mini shift dresses that my mom used to wear when I was a baby (see 4-5). And now, 40 years later, I'm wearing the same dress! What do you think--groovy or garish? Is it au courant, or avocado refrigerator/harvest gold sofa/orange shag carpet (all of which we had back in the day!)? Fun to be a part of history repeating! I wonder what my daughter will be wearing when she is my age? </p> <p>Muse psychedelic floral shift dress, White House Black Market pointy black flats, Ralph Lauren black doctor satchel (TJ Maxx), Banana Republic Trina Turk pink bracelet.</p>
