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:

"Heheheheheh... In the spirit of cleaning..... I found this hot jumpsuit my mum gave me... Check this out, in the first picture I was in her belly.... She went bonkers when she saw it on me today several decades later , kept on saying its Guinea brocade (whatever that means ) anyways it was dope
