Thank you for sharing this beautiful post, Angie! My mom is visiting us right now to celebrate my son’s 1st birthday, Mother’s Day, and spend time in general. She is our only surviving parent. I’ve probably influenced her sense of style more than she has mine. I have a passion for fashion. She, on the other hand, doesn’t follow it as closely.

My mom taught me:

1. Buy quality clothing and shoes.
2. Don’t try to look older than you are, or grow up too fast.
3. Wear color.
4. Good hygiene.
5. Good manners.

I would like my mom to change:

1. Be more ruthless and diligent about culling her wardrobe.
2. Don’t buy things just because they’re on sale.
3. Wear more makeup.
4. Be more aware of fashion trends.
5. Ditch the windsuits and overly-abundant t-shirts in her wardrobe – basic and novelty.

Happy Mother’s Day, everyone!

Angie, the picture of your mother is lovely! So stylish and put-together.

My mom always told me and my younger sister:

* Spend money on classic pieces, because they’re investments in good style
* You can never have too many shoes
* If you find something you love and it fits perfectly, buy at least 2 colors
* Work with your figure, not against it
* When it comes to makeup, less is more

I would say she influenced my fashion 100%, because these are my fashion guidelines too! Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms!

The one piece of fashion advice that my mom gave me that I still follow is that “a little makeup goes a long way”. I still only wear mascara and blush, unless I’m going to a special event. I think that these two things help accent a woman’s natural beauty without hiding anything.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Angie, thanks so much for the wonderful post! I agree that a mother’s fashion sense impact one forever – just as in other ways one seeks to emulate or rebel against the overt or merely observed learnings absorbed in childhood..and after.

The picture is gorgeous – I see you in both your parents. But you especially resemble your mom. What a lovely lady.

Happy Mother’s Day to mothers and daughters alike! Nancy
