Motherly Fashion Advice
Fashion Advice for Women over 45
The Chief Blonde and her Mom
I wouldn’t say I got all my fashion sense from my mom but there was a lot of great fashion tips she gave me that stuck with me through the years. Without further ado, here’s the Chief Blonde’s Mom’s Fashion Advice and I am pretty sure that your mom’s advice is similar!
Five Fashion tips from YOUR MOM
1. It never hurts to dress like your mom sometimes. (See picture above…this was a total accident…we showed up a restaurant in virtually the same outfit)
2. Wear a hat. Hats are very useful you see. They keep your ears warm and keep your skin from getting burned.
3. Take a jacket. You can always take a jacket off but if you are freezing and you didn’t bring one then you have a bigger problem.
4. Wear Comfortable Shoes. HAHAHAHAHA. You KNOW I ignored this one. See picture below!

5. Wear Clean Clothes. This seems like pretty obvious fashion advice but I can’t tell you the number of times I have went and changed my clothes because I could hear my mother’s voice ringing in my ears.

The best advice my mom ever gave me was even though I have a disability, I can have a good and full life by pursuing my dreams. She encouraged me along the way to work hard and not give up!!
Pretty is as pretty does.
God and school come first. I hated hearing it after every lecture (and believe me, I got a lot of lectures)… but it’s so true!
Sleep when your baby sleeps.
Trust people until they give you a reason not to.
To be independent and not rely on other people.
My mom told me that I could do anything I set my mind to and I don’t have to be the best, but, to do my best.
Let your kids fail at some things so that they learn to deal with failure and learn how to correct mistakes. I found this so hard to do especially if I knew it may end up with tears.
Wear lipstick. You need color for your face and it makes you look like you care about yourself.
My mother in law told me not to be so hard on myself, that everyone makes mistakes from time to time!
My mom’s best advice…”Good manners and a smile on your face will take you far”.
Don’t judge a book by its cover and the Golden Rule 🙂
The best advice my mom ever gave me ~ Don’t put off until tomorrow what you could do today
To be a leader and not a follower
From my mother-in-law when I was freaking out about something….”Relax”.
My mom always tried to listen to us and be patient.
The best advice I ever got from a motherly figure was by my grandma when I was growing up. She said to take a Nickel hold it between my knees and never let it drop. I should have listened lol
don’t rush into getting married, it’s only a piece of paper… live with him awhile first
Do what I say, not what I do
Mom had no problem demanding perfection
