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.

If you’re not happy with what you’re wearing, you’re not going to look good no matter what.
mom said when you go to marry a man don’t look at his good qualities because anyone can live with someones good qualities can you live with his bad qualities
The best advice my Mom ever gave me was to always think before I speak, especially out of anger.
Don’t let your underwear show!! It’s very unladylike.
To not care what anyone else thinks of you!
Learn to pick your battles. That is the one piece of advice that my Mom gave me that I can carry to every aspect of my life.
my parents told me to dress for the job you want, not the job you have
save your pennies – someday they will turn into dollars – put a little bit of money away each week
My mom told me to be kind to her when I was a teenager, because everything comes back to you three fold
my mom told me not to take life to seriously, you are not going to get out alive anyway!
Moisturize! And don’t forget your neck!
My grandmother’s advice is always stand up straight and tall. You will feel better, look better and have more confidence.
Never lend or borrow money, because when you lend it you probably won’t get it back & when you borrow it you might not be able to pay it back. Only get things you can pay for yourself at the time.
Mom was never one to volunteer a lot of advice, but one thing she has told me is that you can’t change anyone but yourself.
The best advice my mom has given me is invest on good shoes.
My step mom was always very fun and full of ideas, her best advice to me was given through the example she set by the way she lived her life! I learned to never take myself too seriously from her 🙂
When my first son was born, my mother said I am not going to give you a lot of unsolicited advice, the most important thing is for you to listen to your instincts.
The best advice I was given by my mother was that I needed to be my own best friend and rely on myself.
never buy what you can’t afford
My mom always told us growing up that the number 1 rule in our house was – don’t do dumb stuff. That covers a lot of things so I still use it with my kids.
