While finding the perfect gift for Mother’s Day may feel daunting, oftentimes the best way to show mom you really care is by unearthing an old photograph—or, in the age of social media, posting a heartfelt #TBT. In honor of Mother’s Day, Vogue editors have plumbed the depths of their photo albums for their favorite mommy-and-me #TBTs—awkward phases, bad hairstyles, and unfortunate fads be damned.

My mother definitely does not share my obsession with fashion. I
d say she dreads shopping for new clothes the way little kids dread a trip to the dentist. So it
s always so funny to look back on old pictures of her as a young mom, and see how stylishly she dressed. As a child of the sixties, she claims to have been far more invested in the idea of revolution than personal style, but I think she forgets that that free-spirited way of being came with such a strong look.
