I copied a little part from "The Cheap Date Guide To Style ", in the book they try to explain what makes someone stylish, and one of the factors is a person mother..

"A powerful tool is remembering formative style influences. Children are perceptive about clothes. You found certain shapes and colors pretty , and dressing up would have been an activity , with role – playing in costumes and fun with make up and adornment." ..... " You watched and admired what your mother wore and it formed templates in your imagination, with a magical , believing grasp of what clothes might say . the memory of this in later life becomes a basis of your style." ... " Hark back to yourself as the most appreciative style observer that you were as a child, and use that same fresh eye now."

I think that the way my mother dressed and dressed me when I was a child really effected my style today.. I was browsing throw some old photos and I could really see myself wearing what my mother wore. I scanned some photos to prove my point.

this is probably my favorite picture.

and this is probably my favorite outfit. I'm talking about what my mother is wearing.

You'd think I wore this for a special reason, but no.. this is what I wore to the airport in London.

Bandage skirt my friends.

I'd love to have those boots now!

My aunt Shoshy is like a second mother to me , and growing up I spent a lot time with her, I'm sure her style effected me too. Nowadays we share clothes.

I love how she and my mom used to wear hats.

I never got to meet my grandmother from my dad side but I was told she was a very stylish woman , she never left the house without making sure that her hair and clothes look perfect. A relative told me that even when my grandma came to help in father's restaurant she wore fancy dresses and suites . I see a little bit of her in me.

"Style is what unites memory or recollection, ideology, sentiment, nostalgia , presentiment, to the way we express all that. It's not what we say but how we say it that matters." -Federica Fellini.

edit : I just noticed that if you look at my photos you can see all the curret trend - Floral dresses, Bandage skirt, Leather jacket, plaid skirt and fur coat!
