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 like the river shoe! I am disabled and now cant wear so many cute sandals, these look fun!
New Tamra Wedge Slide by Andiamo
I choose the Gypsy Ankle Strap Sandal by Fergalicious because they are the type of sandals I wear and they are blue.
I like the Gypsy Ankle Strap Sandal by Fergalicious because the blue is so pretty and would match with a lot of outfits.
I love the Leisa Taffy Sandal by Clarks. They are very pretty. I think it’s awesome that they come in wide width. I can’t wear most sandals because I have very wide feet.
I like the Snake Print Shoe by Classique because I think that snake prints look cool.
I love the Candie Wedge Sandal by Fergalicious. They’re like mini gladiator sandals!
I really love Bijou Dragonfly Slide sandal. It’s a flat sandal,I’m tall so this would be perfect for me.
I like this sandal: Carlina Slide by Spring Footwear for $99.95. It is very cute!
Hello, I have bad feet and I pick the Leisa Sugar Slide by Clarks because I think they would give me the support I need and they are flat which is important for my feet health. Thanks for a great giveaway!
I like the Raffia Sandal because they are cute and would pretty much go with anything.
My favorite spring sandal is the Qwin Isis Thong by Clarks. The shoe is beautiful, I love it in the blue. Another reason I like them is that Clarks are so very comfortable.
You two are just adorable! Love the shoes and your dresses. I can see the resemblance and shared beautiful hair. Fun idea for a post.

It was Ann! I actually submitted a pic from last year’s Mothers day to M&M (they run regular oppts with our group Fashionista Events). They loved the idea and picked it up for this year. Thanks for the compliments on my beautiful daughter…she is my jewel!
The Orlena Currant Shoe is my favorite! I love peep-toes, and I think it could work with a casual or dressy outfit!
First, I have to say I LOVE your pictures! Adorable! As for sandals, I really like the Lynx Street Thong by Clarks in Nude.
Thanks Barb! We had such fun doing the pictures. Appreciate you entering our giveaway too! Make sure to hit the other 14! The Chief Blonde
