Shop Dresses Meet Our Moms

I just recently found photos of my mom and she had great style when she was younger. She has a more classic style now wearing slacks, button-downs, cardigans, etc. Here are two of my favorites (and she’s also with my dad).
I think they had just gotten engaged. I love her dress with the long scarf. 
I’ve searched ebay for something similar but haven’t been lucky yet.
Here she is visiting my dad. You can’t see her shoes but they were white patent leather. 
Her tights are yellow to match her outfit. 
When I was in high school I was lucky enough to wear two of her dresses. One was yellow tulle that I wore to prom and the other was a white strapless dress (tulle again). We added a green satin sash and green satin around the top of the dress to give it a little color. (I’m still looking for the photos.)
Was your mom a style icon? Have you found any pictures that are your favorites, style wise?

This month has been so busy for me and I have lots to do the rest of it too. I have guests this weekend and the house is a wreck. It doesn’t matter how long I’m gone for work travel, Husband and The Boy become useless. Dishes aren’t done, clothes aren’t picked up, trash/recycling isn’t taken out. So now I have all that to do plus actually clean the house. BOYS ARE MESSY!

Here are my OOTDs from the past two days.

I bought these shoes from jcbellemarie via the JCA Exchange. This is the first time I was able to wear them and I was surprised at how comfortable they are. She has them too so we are shoe twins. Thanks jcbellemarie!!

Off to clean – Have a great day!!

It’s only Tuesday and I really need it to be Friday. I traveled to my office today and found out I need to be there for training tomorrow and Thursday too. So an hour drive back home this evening and an hour drive early in the morning tomorrow. I am bushed. But here are some OOTDs from the past few days. And hopefully, there will be a J’Crewlet post tomorrow or Thursday.
