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! 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!

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!

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!

Your mother, and the gentleman beside her are brimming with style and beauty. Thinking about all the things my mom instilled in me about fashion and personal appearace, made me realize that I had ignored many of her ideals for a long time and have recently started to reincorporate them into my life. The one that never escaped me is her insistence on wearing a wonderful bra. This also maks me consider my fashion relationship with my 11 year old daughter. She definately knows what she likes and will start little trends among her schoolmates. Yesterday, she wore my converse sneakers to school--and I realized that there has to be a little bit of me in her if she's wants to wear my stuff. I'm sure she has now adopted my new shoes. But that is what being a mother is all about. Happy Mother's Day! What a lovely tribute to a lovely woman, Angie. Your mother, and the gentleman beside her are brimming with style and beauty.

Thinking of you on Mother's Day and of your lovely mum looking down on you. It is funny how trends come and go but some of the classic styles have remained constant. Your mum would be very proud of how you are keeping her spirit alive and helping everyone "look fab"! See you in France soon... Jem & Tom Hi Angie - Beautiful photo.
