I also asked to borrow one of those groovy polyester ugly 70's print button downs when I was in third grade.
The occasion: Hobo Day.

But she will borrow my purses (good for them, because most of them have only seen the outside once or twice) and my lipstick. And I will take her sweaters.

From my dad, I take only his boy scouts belt, his Scott Base, Antarctica patches, and his old sweaters.
Funny story: when I was a child, my dad used to wear these horrible jeans that he'd drawn arrows on (like an Australian convict uniform), that he'd had since university. He used to wear them only around the house, but my brother and I felt the chance he may one day wear them in public to be an imminent threat, and took a preemptive strike by hiding them from him in the ceiling. That was in 1994. I've since left home, but according to my little sister, apparently my dad found the jeans earlier this year during some sort of home renovations, and was not impressed.

But for the best vintage clothes, I suggest skipping a generation. I have been trying to steal my grandfather's leather jacket from my dad for years but my dad keeps a close eye on it. Truthfully I don't really need it - my closet is packed with vintage coats from my grandmothers and great-aunts.

Buckskin skirt - vomited on
Orange Corduroy swing dress - Lent to friend, lost
Vintage capris printed with pictures of go-go dancers and names of dances - Lost at party (how?...don't know)
Floor length rose coloured leather coat - Gave belt to boyfriend as "souvenir"
I suck.

I try to remember to save things for my children-- or godchildren if I keep going at the rate I am, which is 0 :) -- but I'm always itching to throw things out. That's one of the reasons I started buying better jewelry; I want to have something left for them that's easier to store.

Back in 1985 when oversized everything was "muy fashion!", I did repeatedly borrow her small collection of pastel sweatshirts.
