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.

I love the Sunshine Sandal because their yellow and have a vintage flair!
So many beautiful shoes to choose from! My favorite sandal is the Leisa Sugar Slide by Clarks. I love how the leather is “ventilated” with an almost lacy texture. The heel height and padded footbed look incredibly comfortable, and the adjustable hook and loop straps ensure a perfect fit.

I like the Yetaway by Aerosoles. The bronze color can be worn with anything and I know that Aerosoles fit me and are very comfortable. Almost all my summer shoes are made by Aerosole.
