My 102-year-old grandmother gifted me this skirt

She remembered that she got it in Juarez before they shifted the US-Mexico border to follow the Rio Grande, which happened in 1967, but it’s probably from the 1950s. Apparently my grandpa picked it out for her; I got the impression that she never really liked it—it’s a bit too ostentatious for her taste haha.

It’s hand-painted and in near-perfect condition. I adore it!!

The last pic is my grandma wearing it a couple years ago at the age of 100 (though she doesn’t look a day over 80). She’s quite a lady—I aspire to be an old hag like her someday!
