I have many of my late mother’s dresses from the 70s. Some are unraveling, but I feel close to her when I wear them around my house. There’s a red floral one that reminds me of summers in Oklahoma.
Sherri McMullen – boutique owner.
Originally from Oklahoma, Ms. McMullen owns the fashion boutique McMullen, located in downtown Oakland. Offering luxury clothing by designers from around the world, McMullen has been named among the top American boutiques by Vogue and Women’s Wear Daily.
I also own much of my mother’s clothing from the 50s to the 70s and I can relate to what Ms. McMullen is saying. These vintage pieces of fashion are woven with memories and images that connect us to our past. I think that’s of great value.
Sunday, May 9th is Mother’s Day. ODFL wishes all the moms out there a very happy day!

When my mom passed away in late 2018, I cleared out her apartment and came home with several items that became bedrock basics in my own wardrobe. Not only do I find them comforting; but they also taught me new things about our deep mother-daughter connection that I had not fully appreciated before.
Thank you for sharing your story and for reading ODFL. Enjoy your mother’s clothing!
