I just got this blouse as a hand-me-down from my 94-year-old grandma 🤯 

She is always cleaning out her closet – it’s almost like she’s reading my posts & watching my Instagram stories, yet she’s never had internet in her life haha. Whenever we visit her, she has a few items for my sister & I to try. Many times the items look like they were owned by a 94 year old grandma (lol) but other times the items have some potential !!

This blouse had shoulder pads which made it feel a bit outdated. But with the fun pleat details & it being black (totally within my personal style) – I wanted to see if I could make it work! So I cut out the shoulder pads & styled it in a more “modern” way with distressed straight leg jeans & heels. 👍🏼

So this is my encouragement to you: don’t turn up your nose at clothes that come from *unlikely sources*. If your friend/mom/grandma is getting rid of some clothes, HAVE AN OPEN MIND and GET CREATIVE.
