One of my favourite quotes\u00a0from Sex and the City<\/em> (the series obviously) is when Carrie likens politics to fashion. She says: 'they (fashion and politics) are both about recycling shop-worn ideas and making them seem fresh and inspiring'.<\/p>

And this cannot be more true than recent seasons\u00a0where fashion from the\u00a070's has been making a comeback on the runway with\u00a0some previously no-no trends making\u00a0their way back into our wardrobes. Case in point are\u00a0the jumpsuits seen at Balmain<\/a> and turtle-neck sweaters at Louis Vuitton.<\/p>

Growing up in the 80's and 90's, I recall sneaking into my mom's closet every now and then to try on some of her dresses and shoes. With my grandmother being a seamstress,\u00a0you can guess, there was no shortage of amazing frocks lying around - not to mention dozens of Burda<\/em>\u00a0sewing magazines showing the latest trends back then.<\/p>

It comes as no surprise then that as I grew up to\u00a0fit in my mom's clothes, I took some of her now-vintage pieces and incorporated them into my wardrobe. With her blessing of course. So imagine when to my surprise, similar jumpsuits to that one I\u00a0took from her appeared on the runway. Recycled and refined - the 70's inspired pieces<\/a> were everywhere to be seen from New York to Paris <\/a>and celebrities like Taylor Swift donning them on the red carpet.<\/p>

However, dressing in our mom's clothes (or any vintage pieces<\/a> really) is not as easy as it seems. It takes skill and clever styling to make the look more modern and trendy rather than looking like you just literally stepped out of her closet - and we don't mean it in a good way.<\/p>

So, if you're tempted to borrow something that your mom had\u00a0stacked away decades ago somewhere in the attic, here are your best bets on what to go for - plus\u00a0some tips on how to pull them off and seamlessly incorporate them into your wardrobe while looking bang on trend.<\/p>

The irony of fashion, isn't it?<\/p>
