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.

Gina sandal by Sacha London is the one I like the most. Thanks.
I like that it is simple and looks comfortable as well as stylish.
My favorite is the Qwin Isis Thong by Clarks. They are adorable and look very comfortable.
I love how simple and subtle their Faceted Stud Gladiator’s are! Just enough bling, without being a blah!
I really like the Leisa Taffy Sandal by Clarks in brown because this is exactly my style and it looks comfortable and casual. This is perfect for the way I dress.
I love the Charlotte Slide by Spring Step sandals!
My fave is the Wendy River Shoe by Clarks Navy because they would look great with a pair of slacks or jeans 🙂
I think the Tropical Sandal is perfect for spring. It looks comfortable and has such bright colors.
The Angelina sandals are my favorite! I love them the most because they are my favorite color (aqua) and I have so many things to wear with them!

I’d choose the Flo Cherrymore Thong by Clarks. I don’t dress up or wear heels/wedges. These look comfortable.
Lindsay Sandal by Andiamo, very dress for a night out.
I like the Gypsy Ankle Strap Sandal by Fergalicious in the royal blue because it’s a great pop of color and easy way to Spring up your wardrobe.
I love their watercolor sandal. They remind me of spring flowers.
I like the Classique Stud Strap Slide. They remind me of the old school Candies! Great memories. And so sassy!
Lexi Myrtle Slide by Clarks–these the most in black. Which isn’t surprising since I love Clarks so dang much hahaha!:)
Leisa Taffy Sandal by Clarks because I like the way Clarks fit me.
Love the blue one that go around the ankle. Such a great look!
I really like the Leisa Taffy Sandal by Clarks in brown because this is exactly my style and it looks comfortable and casual. This is perfect for the way I dress.
All of their sandals are very nice. I would pick Trista Mint Thong by Clarks. I am getting up in age and those have a small wedge and you can just slip them on.
I like the Makai T Moro slide. I think it would be comfortable enough to wear everyday.
The Watercolor sandal just looks like Spring!
