Not just because of the lovely story about your aunt, but also, the juxtaposition of the two photos—your aunt in traditional dress and you looking so thoroughly modern—was so evocative of the fleeting nature of time. </p> <p>I adore your outfit; here, the boots are just beyond fabulous!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-family-motg#post-450243 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 02:01:39 +0000 Heather 450243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, this is one of my favorite posts of all time.

You description of how your aunt was dressed made me think of Coco Chanel :). That photo is priceless, how beautiful! And you looked fab too. That's my favorite combination incorporating your shearling vest. Thanks for sharing this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-family-motg#post-450059 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 22:46:34 +0000 modgrl 450059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore the shearling vest Angie NYC style (with a tank underneath) to visit my 90 year old aunt today. She is practically shut in due to her advanced age and ailments. She came to the door dressed in a black velvet jacket, slim black pants, a pearl necklace and a bit of tasteful make up. Her tiny apartment was spotlessly clean and ornately decorated with crystal, ceramic and carved wood pieces. There were real potted roses blooming in her entryway. She had prepared some photos and some things that she wanted to read to my children and I. My daughter is named after her mother who I never knew, so it was important for her to be able to tell us about her mother. I asked her to choose a favorite picture and I thought I would share it with you. She was about 25 years old here in 1945 in Uzbekistan. She is wearing the traditional robes of that area. She always was, and still is, the picture of grace and elegance. </p>
