Having a fashionable mum will tend to give you a good eye, and you certainly have one. Presentation as art, why not? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6errands-with-mom#post-2399250 Wed, 19 Nov 2025 14:39:24 +0000 RobinF 2399250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that you get to spend that time with your mom! My mom was my best shopping buddy and I really miss that.</p> <p>I love that lavender coat and you make such good use of it. I am such a chicken when it comes to outerwear - has to be neutral so I can "get more use from it". You are an example that that doesn't have to be the case.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6errands-with-mom#post-2399180 Tue, 18 Nov 2025 16:59:09 +0000 Lisa 2399180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How delightful that you have dedicated time to spend with your mom. The lavender coat is such a beautiful statement piece and it styles really well paired with the red boots, such a fun combination! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6errands-with-mom#post-2399056 Sun, 16 Nov 2025 01:38:00 +0000 Jaime 2399056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are a great daughter.

The Coach purse is great--it looks vintage. And I hear those are trending right now... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6errands-with-mom#post-2398938 Fri, 14 Nov 2025 23:31:05 +0000 LJP 2398938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My mother used to send me into Shoppers Drug Mart with a list of things she decided were must-haves at the age of 80. &nbsp;It was usually stuff she'd seen on TV or in a magazine , haha. &nbsp;</p> <p>I like the lilac/cranberry pairing too. &nbsp;You are certainly getting lots of wear from that coat beyond one season ! &nbsp; What colour is the sweater? &nbsp;I'm intrigued by "cashmino". &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6errands-with-mom#post-2398928 Fri, 14 Nov 2025 21:57:09 +0000 Angie 2398928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice to see the red boots come out to play!

I like cranberry with lilac.&nbsp;<div>I suspect I will be like your mother - high maintenance and would shop cosmetics and makeup as long as I’m capable :)</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6errands-with-mom#post-2398925 Fri, 14 Nov 2025 21:48:36 +0000 Carla 2398925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last year my mom got it into her head that she wanted to relocate from her retirement home in Ottawa (big city) to my little town (pop. 17,000). &nbsp;She made the move in May of this year and has been very happy with the change of venue. &nbsp;Every Thursday afternoon, I take her wherever she wants to go and do whatever she wants to do. &nbsp;This week we went to a big craft supply store (Michael’s) to reconnaissance the place and see what’s trending for seasonal decor. &nbsp;Afterwards, we went grocery shopping (she has a kitchenette) and to the pharmacy for personal care items. &nbsp;Mom is high maintenance, and loves putting on the glam. &nbsp;Thursday is seniors discount (20%) day - so a good time to shop for makeup, nail polish, and some of the pricier magic skin potions. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>It was a raw day, but the new ‘cashmino’ boyfriend sweater (and wool socks) kept me warm when out of doors - but not overheated inside the shops. &nbsp;I dressed more for comfort than style - but the transitional lavender jacket always draws a comment from strangers - and then Imget to show off the silver lining!<br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div> </p>
