Getting bored with your wardrobe? Need a change? No need to spend a lot of money buying the latest trends in fashion when you can just raid your mom's old closet! Yes, your mom's old closet, 80's and 90's wear... basically the same styles you find at Urban Outfitters, but it's free since you are related. Do not be discouraged by it; there are some real gems in there if you look hard enough. Scroll through to find inspiration in your mom's old closet, shoulder pads and all.

Mom's Pick: Printed Blouse

If your mom was in the workforce in 80's and 90's, you will likely come across some well-made blouses. Make this printed blouse more casual by adding a pair of jeans and flats.

Mom's Pick: Printed Bomber

Printed bombers are a great statement piece. To create a cool look, make sure the rest of your outfit is neutral, and adding a pair of cleated boots never hurts.

Mom's Pick: Structured Black Blazer

A blazer has always been a wardrobe essential. It is not only great for business wear, but also for casual wear. Style a basic black blazer with a body-con midi skirt, a textured crop top, and add a pair chunky biker boots to create a effortlessly chic look.

Mom's Pick: Denim Shirt

Who doesn't love a good denim shirt? Especially if there are cats on it?! A denim on denim combo is so effortless and stylish at the same time. Do not worry, you won't look like Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake at the 2001 American Music Awards.

Mom's Pick: Printed Sweater

Sweaters: one of the most comfortable things to wear. You can dress it up or dress it down. For a casual look, wear a pair of denim shorts, cute socks, and a pair boots.

Mom's Pick: Pinstripe Pants

Pinstripe pants are another wardrobe essential, effortlessly stylish and pairs well with other things in your closet. For an edgy look, mix different patterns together and add a leather jacket to complete the look.

Mom's Pick: Printed Button-Up

If there is one thing that the 80's and 90's are good for, it is bold patterns and fun designs. With a statement piece like this, it is best to keep the rest of your outfit simple and add simple jewelry to pull the whole look together.

Mom's Pick: Vest Dress

With a tank dress, there are plenty of options for layering. You can add tights, a turtle neck, or a long sleeve top. Do not be shy to play with different textures for layering.

Mom's Pick: Plaid Skirt

If you are a lover of 90's grunge, a plaid skirt is a must! No grunge look is complete without a pair of biker boots, a dog collar, and a black crop top.

Mom's Pick: Chunky Sweater

Because one can never have enough sweaters, am I right? With a chunky sweater, play up the quirky vibe by adding vintage-looking sunglasses and fun loafers.

Mom's Pick: Vintage T-Shirt

Vintage T-shirts with funny slogans and odd designs are cool and comfortable to wear. To make a T-shirt look more cool, try cutting off the sleeves to make a tank top.

Mom's Pick: High Waisted Trousers

High-waisted trousers are not only incredibly chic, but also flattering on most body types. It elongates your torso, cinches your waist, and makes your legs look like they go on for miles. Pair a crop top and different layers to make your look more fashion forward.

Mom's Pick: Gingham Pants

Gingham pants are so fun to wear. You can style them to be more flirty, like Brigitte Bardot, or make it edgy with a pair of Doc Martens. Mixing patterns will make you look more fashion forward.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
