Mother of Style: A Formal Affair
Here is the latest submission in our Mother of Style feature. Donne Davis, creator of The GaGa SisterhoodŽ, a site "where Grandmas Bond, Brag, and Benefit".

Mother of Style - A Formal Affair

Donne sent in a photo of her mother, Julie, which was taken in Mexico while on vacation in 1960. My favorite thing about this photo is Julie's beautiful expression. A lovely woman with a clear sense of style, dressed perhaps for dinner out?

This look inspired a more formal outfit, consisting of a portrait collar dress, vintage jewel earrings, dark polish and a bow-detailed bag.

My mom will be thrilled to see this. She is a vibrant 88-year old great-grandmother and still enjoys driving downtown (San Francisco) to indulge in her favorite pastime - shopping for new outfits. Many of her stylish hand-me-downs end up in her granddaughter's wardrobe and they look equally great on her!

I love that the 60s style is a returning trend. The portrait collar dresses and the bag are lovely.
