Ideas for my Anti-Dress wearing MOM

Hello Mom!

Do you any of you have pics of formal outfits that aren't dresses? My mom really only wears pants. Any suggestions?

I actually know someone who wore pants to both her childrens weddings and she looked lovely. She wore black dressy slacks and got tops to dress them up. You can buy dressy tops at Estelles, lord and taylor etc. One of her weddings was on the beach and she wore black slacks with a white wrap style top with chunky jewelry.......and believe me...she looked very elegant.

I don't have any pictures for you, but I am sure your mom will be able to find something appropriate and beautiful at a Macy's, Saks, Lord & Taylor or Nordstrums. Just don't give up there are plenty of options out there.
Good luck.

2009 Bride Crashing! My mom wore a beautiful dark gray silk pants and blazer set with a gorgeous cream silk cami underneath to my sister's wedding. She never ever wears dresses or skirts and this looked beautiful on her and very fancy! (Especially with jewelry, hair and makeup done.) HTH!
