This right here...yep, that's right...it's R.D.'s Momma-cita! Readers, my gorgeous Mother. My gorgeous Mom, all my readers! As you can see...she is one stylish woman, too. She has always seemed so precisely put together, even with four little ones around her, for many, many years. Her adorable and tiny dresses (she's 5'3" and I'm nearly 5'8") and always the perfect accessories...in my eyes, my Mother has always been such a classic beauty.
There is not enough words to describe all the life-lessons I've learned from her...but since this IS a fashion blog, I better stand true to WHY you read daily...as you can see, my Mom is one fashionable lady! Taking a look at the pics above...many of the trends I've highlighted are exemplified in her wardrobe choices. No really...take a closer look; TURQUOISE gorgeousness at our wedding, my favorite picture of all time (plus, her one piece black suit is oh soooo chic), a FLOWERED dress and WHITE kicks, YELLOW always flatters, POLKA DOTS and PEARLS, an adorable animal-print shirt-dress with a BELTED waistline, STATEMENT NECKLACE with a classic CARDIGAN and last, but certainly not least...another precious PINK floral goodie!
I do think we learn to dress from those we're closest to growing up and although I tend to love some wild/show-stopping pieces...my Mom's wardrobe just oozes elegance, with her lady-like silhouettes and classic pieces.
On this here Mother's Day...the 27th we've shared together...I'd like to give her a standing ovation for not only being the most amazing woman in my life but also tell her that her style is something I hope to emulate over time. She is elegant, lady-like and beyond gorgeous...but just as she'd say to all four of us, "From the inside out, that's what matters most!" I love you Mom...I'm blessed beyond words!
