Get the look: The Fabulous Mom

(Hat: The Hat Shop in SoHo, Dress/cardigan/belt/leggings: H&M, Shoes: Payless)

I had the great honor of styling my mom for Cathy and Jason's wedding this last weekend. I have to say it was a lot easier than I thought. We went to a few stores, but everything was bland and a lot of the shops now only carry the spring items. We ended up, of all places, at H&M. I am still shocked at all the good pieces we found. Most of her outfit; The dress, cardigan, leggings, and belt were all picked up at the store for about $90.00.

The dress looks great on it's own, but I liked the idea of layers, since its cold out, and getting to use that awesome big belt. We layered in the cardigan and put the belt on top. The shoes are Payless and I was hesitant to go and try them at first, but I am realizing that this store has been around forever for a reason. They imitate very popular styles for a very low price point.

The last touch was a hat my mom is wearing. It's from the Hat Shop in SoHo. I ended up giving it to her because she looks way better than I ever did in the hat. She deserves to own it. The look is a little bit casual for a wedding, but it is definitely polished and wearable. My mom does not like to make a fuss, so this was perfect. make a slick pony tail to go with this look if you don't have a hat to wear.

How amazing does my mom look? I will have more pics of us at the wedding over the next few days. Stay tuned for updates because there are better pictures that showcase the outfit.
