Mother Dressed Me is a theme I came up with after my mother prepared some knock out outfits for me. I got so much praise from people, I figured I share at least one of those outfits on the blog and hence ‘Mother Dressed Me‘ was born.
Mum is someone who has impeccable fashion sense and she is such an inspiration. Obviously she dressed us as kids but as we grew up we stopped copying her which is a huge mistake in itself. Another awesome thing about my mother is she knows how to shop and also how to thrift. I can never seem to find anything when thrifting but she has an eye for it.
I love black dresses and not just LBD but all black dresses as they are so easy to style. Black practically goes with everything and can be worn to many functions. I wore this dress to church two Sunday’s ago and I loved how simple it is but still has maximum impact.
Outfit
- Dress – mum’s closet
- Sandals – F&F (Tesco clothing)
- Clutch Bag – Korean market
When I told my friends that my mother dressed me, they told me I should let her do it more often. It is not that I can’t dress myself but somehow mum just knows my body much better than I do. Every time when I visit my parents, mum has something in her closet for me. When she is out and about shopping, she somehow has her kids in mind and buys clothes for us.
I am really glad that my mother dressed me, of late I am always seeking her fashion opinion. 90% of the time she is ok with my choices but the other 10% she would give me the brutal truth. Most of us now know that just because we grown don’t mean our mummies still don’t have monopoly on tips and tricks.
Do you ever get Fashion tips from your mother or a mother figure?

Our moms really know what looks great on us. This is a lesson I realized long ago when she was forcing me to try this dress that I hate and when I put it on it was like an epiphany, lol. I love how your mom styled you! You look so gorgeous!

I know the feeling, I am skeptical when she is buying them but when I put them on it’s unbelievablely good

Heather - Heartfully Heather says
That’s awesome! I do have to say, I’m kinda senseless in fashion, but I’m hoping to bring back a little more style in my wardrobe this fall. I really need some new tops.
Homestead Wishing says
You look amazing in that dress! I love the bag too it shows a splash of pretty color with the outfit. Your mom did an excellent job!
Gwen Mulholland says
My mom also seems to have better fashion sense than I do. I am just a wash and wear kind of gal. I love that purse.
tara pittman says
Cool that your mom has fashion. My mom is more about comfort and needs help in the fashion.
Pam W says
My mom wasn’t into fashion at all. Yours certainly seem to have an eye for style and it’s awesome that she knows what looks good on you.
Jeanette says
My mom always has a better fashion sense and I do sad to say. I do ask her opinion on some things although we have very opposite taste. I do love that dress it’s beautiful.
WhispersInspire says
Love the outfit! Elegant and classic! I’d so wear it too!
Shanna Uptergrove says
I love the dress- it looks amazing on you. Sometimes other people have an eye for fashion and for the way things should fit 😉
Savings Advice says
Gorgeous Dress, really suits you. I love the sandals as well
Jacqui S @TradesofJacqui says
Beautiful! Nice and classic. Love the shoes!
Mitch says
I love this outfit, and you look great I it! It is all reversed here, I no longer dress my son, and have been known to try to copy his style. He does not like that at all!
Heather @ Kraus House Mom says
Your mom knows you well. The dress looks great, as do the shoes and bag.
Dad of Divas says
Great outfit and you look great. Whether your mom dressed you or not, you cannot go wrong with what you found and sometimes taking the advice of your elders s just what you need!
Alli Smith says
Your mom did a great job dressing you. You can never go wrong with black. My daughters often come to me for my fashion opinion. Believe me, we love it when our daughters ask for fashion advice.
Anosa says
Awe thanks Alli and glad to hear that. I go to her more now than before
