Blue Satin Sashes: Like Mother, Like Daughter

Diana Ross and Tracy Ellis Ross

I love my mom so much. She is the epitome of everything a good mother is. Kind, understanding and caring, with a little bit of tough love thrown in for good measure. My mother was a huge influence in how I approach fashion today. It will suffice to say that she was my first fashion Icon. Clothes should make you feel good, she would say, it does not matter how much it costs. A dollar thrift store piece can look better on you than a hermes piece, but what matters most is that it makes you feel good. It tells a story of who you are, where you came from and what you hope to be. Very valuable advice. I saw a beautiful shot of my mom today and I also saw a gorgeous shot of a dear friend's mom, and that inspired to write an entry about mothers. So here is to the women who make motherhood look so good and stylish.
