Of course, it was in her closet that I first discovered drapey dresses with ruching and touches of sparkle at the shoulder. And it was in her makeup bag that I found my very first makeup palettes (and made a total mess of the whole thing...!). Whether she believes it or not, my mom was my very first style inspiration and she continues to inspire me. Which is why I was thrilled when she got on a shopping kick after the holidays and started sending me pictures of the outfits she was wearing each day!
Here are a few of my mom's favorite looks:

Love this zebra print with a pop of bright pink.

How great is this skirt? I love that Mom is not afraid to wear prints...and she wears them so well!

She also wears color very well - my dad loves Mom in yellow. This is her humoring him. That's the secret to their looong marriage (37 years and counting...I think).
Now, for a great example of how classic, stylish pieces can transcend age and body type. Mom and I are both wearing the exact same gray tunic dress from Old Navy:


Thanks for letting me share your style, Mom. LUTP!!
Wow, your momma has style! I love the way you both styled the same Old Navy dress :)
ReplyDeleteYour mom is the bomb. A woman with a great smile, good style, and a nice daughter. I'd love to meet her.
ReplyDeleteThanks Iris and Judy! My mom is pretty special. :)
ReplyDeleteBombshell Mom!!! She has got some great style! My faves are the zebra/pink combo (so bright and fun) and the Old Navy dress. I really like getting to see how you both wore the same outfit.
ReplyDeleteMomma Bombshell has fashion down pat! The animal print paired with a bright color is awesome. She is rockin' that ON dress with the booties and I love that she wears yellow for Papa Bombshell!
ReplyDeleteYour mom is SO stylish! I love her plaid skirt...so classic. I must agree with your Dad, she looks great in yellow.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a stylish mom! Like mother like daughter! I especially love the plaid skirt! So cute!

ReplyDeleteYou get your bright smile from momma! Loved the plaid skirt, but then I love plaid.
