Fashion Meets Fandom Video: Mayan Lopez selling her unwanted gifts from her mother (Lopez vs Lopez)

I wonder if there are a lot of mothers and daughters who have similar styles. I know my style is different from my mom's, it's not drastic but it's still different. Which reminded me of the Lopez vs Lopez episode Lopez Vs Swap Meet (season 2 episode 3). In that episode, Mayan Lopez wasn't very honest with her mother Rosie about how she's not fond of her mother's style. Which is the opposite with Rosie, she quite often tells Mayan she doesn't like her style and is always trying to suggest ways to "upgrade" her daughter's style.

And from the video below, you can see that over the years her mother has given Mayan a lot of very interesting fashion pieces with most of them in various animal prints. I would describe Rosie's style as being a very bold, flamboyant sophistication. And her wardrobe consists of mostly dresses, pencil skirts, belts, blazers and tops in bold colors (there are surprisingly a few neutral colors), patterns and prints (animal and dark florals). And all of that paired with heels and boots (chunky, platform and stiletto). While Mayan's style is casual chic with mostly jeans, sweaters, flowy dresses, cute tops, jackets and gym shoes. So their styles are very different.

What I liked about this story is that by the end of the episode they both learned a little something about each other and Mayan also learned about being honest. Especially after Mayan's son Chance not only told his grandmother what his mother thought of her fashion style. I just love his line "we're selling the whole zoo", that's so funny. But he also told his mother that he no longer liked their "cool" secret handshake which kind of hurt Mayan's feelings. But she got a better understanding about being truthful. Which she should have been with her mother instead of trying to sell all of those unwanted fashionable gifts at a swap meet.
