'She was a beautiful contradiction. Unequivocally humble, yet a force to be reckoned with. Her heart stopped on a Wednesday morning. She was 43, and I was 14.'
My mother was someone who lived in color, and her style was as contagious as her laugh. She raised me on '80s music, setting curlers in my hair as she sipped her morning coffee.
They say time heals all. But I felt petrified thinking time could be the biggest attack against my relationship with my mother. I was so scared that as the seasons faded, so would our inside jokes, the sound of her voice, and everything I knew her to be. I think, maybe, her influence on my personal style was destined to be, that this connection to her would be the same if she were alive.Growing up in a predominately all-white area as a first-generation Filipina-American, I couldn't help but feel like who I was and what I wore would preclude me from fitting in. When I looked at my classmates and the stylish celebrities on television and in magazines, it was rare to find women who looked like me. But then, there she was: There was my mother.
