Now and Then — Daughters are like gold!
This is a Fashionista Event Opportunity, and is hosted by Still Blonde after all these YEARS and Modly Chic.

Recreating a favorite photo:The Chief Blonde, Shelley Zurek, with her daughter, Kelly, for Mother’s Day, 2014. Second photo: Walt and Shelley’s wedding–mother and daughter share a moment.
Mother Daughter Outfits
My daughter and I have always loved clothes. We have bonded over clothes shopping many times (she’s like a life-size Barbie! I love to dress her up!) She adores vintage clothes and bargains, just like I do. We excitedly call one another when obtaining a killer deal or superb clothing find.
These gorgeous pieces from Monroe and Main make it easy for both of us to show off our individual style, yet still look great together.
Monroe and Main Pieces chosen for our Mother’s Day Outfit shoot: Kelly is wearing the Gypsy Ankle Strap Sandal by Fergalicious ($80), Shelley is wearing the Artist Dream Dress ($80-90)
SHOES! SHOES! SHOES!
Now, I wear the same size shoes as my beautiful daughter but there is NO WAY I could have got her to give these blue wedge sandals by Fergalicious to me. She put them on the second she got home from college and wore them back to college after we did this shoot. Her boyfriend loved them which made these fantastic Fergalicious shoes from Monroe and Main an extra big hit!
You can’t go wrong with Monroe and Main shoe selections for spring, they literally have 100s of pairs. Just look at some of these beautiful choices for spring and summer.
I had no problem choosing a beautiful dress for myself. The Artist’s Dream Dress from Monroe and Main will undoubtedly be my go to dress for Spring. It has every color of the rainbow in it! I can dress it down with a jean jacket as I did here or I can wear it with a cashmere vintage sweater as I did on Easter! Both looked great! Make sure to look at all of Monroe and Main’s spring selections.

Candie Wedge Sandal by Fergalicious! Love the strappy style and the comfort of the wedge heel!
Hi! The two of you look so pretty! My favorite sandal is the Qwin Isis Thong by Clarks in Blue. It looks to be very comfortable & I love the ruffles. So cute! Thank-you
Thanks Natalie! We did have a lot of fun! The Chief Blonde, Shelley
I LOVE the Raffia Sandal and I really really need a new pair for this summer, last summer, I wore my sandals OUT!!!
I would go with the New Pleated Strap Wedge by Classique. Very Cute.
I like the Tandy Sandal by Carlos Santana because of the really cute leaf.

Gypsy ankle strap sandal because it’s sexy and good enough to wear to work!
My favorite is Clairvoyant Thong by Aerosoles. I like these because they look very comfortable and have bright, beach looking colors.
I’d love these Cores Quarter Strap Sandal by Hush Puppies to go with all my spring dresses!
I’m trying to add more color to my wardrobe this year so my faves would be Rosemary Ankle Wrap by Gravity Defyer sandals in purple. I also love the teal color too. So cute!
Jasmine Sandal by Gravity Defyer – It’s not the most stylish sandal, but it sure looks comfortable. Since I have Plantar Fasciitis, comfort is KEY. It can be dressed up or down, too. (Love the color of the shoes your daughter wore. That is my favorite color!)
Thanks Cara. I couldn’t PRY these shoes off her. She loved them.
Tropical Sandal is my pick
My favorite pair of sandals are these: Tandy Sandal by Carlos Santana–super cute!

I like the orange strappy Classique slides. Way cute.
Reid Pointe Slide by Clarks is gorgeous! I love having a Slide Sandal for quick access. I never liked the back strap.
