My mom, the style icon: Prom perfect

Each day this week, as we lead up to Mother’s Day on Sunday, I figured I’d share some of my favorite old photos of my mom’s personal style … also as a nod to one of my favorite blogs — My Mom, the Style Icon.


Today — Her senior prom …


I also wore powder blue to my prom, so I love the fact that we have that in common.

I don’t even know where to start — the fur jacket, the striped box she’s carrying, the short gloves … and I get a kick out of it that she’s taller than her date 🙂
