Today's take was more on the pastel side with the baby blue shoes and belt. I also did a bit of print mixing by wearing a Breton striped top. My favourite part of the look thought is the vintage brooch! I recently raided my mom's brooch collection (she has gathered a decent amount over the years). This one especially makes me think of her as it is a safety pin adorned with sewing-related charms. My mom has is a very talented seamstress and quilter, so I can't help but think of her when I see a needle and thread. I have countless childhood memories of her cutting a pattern on the dining room table, ironing pieces as she went along, staying up till the wee hours of the morning working away on her latest project. I also vividly remember the hazardous try-on sessions of pieces in the works. Maneuvering in a way to avoid needle pricks was challenging to say the least! Let's just say that for a mom of 4 kids (who had a hectic career as a school teacher), she sure was a prolific sewer!
