You could go through their online photos and even print out ones you think seem like "her."</p> <p><a href="http://keepthebeat.mango.com/category/accesorios/" rel="nofollow">http://keepthebeat.mango.com/category/accesorios/</a></p> <p>FWIW, I have a 69+ y.o. pal who loves trends and still shops at Forever 21. [She says that's how old she feels, ha!] Sounds like the MANGO sizing may not work for your mom, but accessories are much more egalitarian. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-mom-please-help#post-340929 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 17:47:56 +0000 celia 340929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, that's great idea.<br /> Angie my mother is 1,60m. She's a little shorter than I am but I guess in Canda that will make her a true petite.</p> <p>I forgot to mention that she lives in Portugal and in her own words<br /> 'If I were younger I would dress like the Mango catalogues' </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-mom-please-help#post-340903 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 17:25:00 +0000 Angie 340903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely gesture :)</p> <p>How tall is Mum? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-mom-please-help#post-340889 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 17:16:56 +0000 Anonymous 340889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Celia, you might treat her to a floaty silk top and possibly a cardi to wear over it if it doesn't have sleeves. The sizing then wouldn't be too critical and it may be something she wouldn't buy for herself.<br /> Another thought: the Sweet Pea mesh tops in the YLF store if you can find them in Canada. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-mom-please-help#post-340851 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 16:52:39 +0000 celia 340851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to make a surprise to my mother and send her a nice outfit from Canada.<br /> I would be very grateful if you could help me find fabulous one.<br /> Her coordinates:<br /> -She's has my coloring although she has blonde highlights(she looks mostly blond)<br /> -At the moment she is more of an O shape although she used to be a pear, meaning that her shoulders are not very wide,she's about my height and a size 16(if that makes any diference)<br /> -Her style is very diferent from mine. She likes trendy items, doesn't shy away from color and hates button down shirts.(skirts are not her thing either)<br /> Can you think of something fab?<br /> Thank you for your help. </p>
