Nigerian chef rocks her mom's old shoulder-padded jumpsuit, shares lovely photos

If there is one constant fact about fashion, it is that it is never constant. It continues to evolve and change. But even in its fast-paced dynamic evolution, like a cycle, fashion always seem to come back to come back to something it had left behind in the past.

A lady recently took to sharing a very touching, heartwarming story in this regard. Several decades ago, the mother of this beautiful lady who is a chef used to rock a blue jumpsuit that is swaggy, baggy and trendy (at least in those days).

She wore this dress all through the time she was pregnant till she got tired of it (or truly, till the attire stopped reigning anymore). Because she did not simply want to discard it, she gifted it to her daughter.

Her daughter named Chinwe Nancy on Instagram recently got into the mood of cleaning her home one day. During the exercise, she stumbled on this old jumpsuit and she put it on. Not only did the shoulder-padded dress look beautiful on her, it actually was reflective of the fashion trend in today's world.

So yes, an attire from so many decades ago has become relevant again. Chinwe was so thrilled by the jumpsuit that she showed it off to her mom. As expected, her mother who is now older was surprised and thrilled. Her reaction was nostalgic and reminiscent of how much she loved the dress.

Chinwe Nancy, a well established chef, went on to share pictures of the jumpsuit which was worn by herself and her mother. She also added a lovely caption to it which depicted her mother's hilarious reaction and also paid tribute to the dead best friend of her mom.

See her full post below:

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
