Which Dress for Mom’s Day Success?

by Eighty Jane on May 7, 2010

Another Mother’s Day is upon us. It’s the one day a year on which we all stop and recognize just how important our matriarchs are to our lives. Hopefully, you’ve picked up some special somethings for the moms in your life. The real gift, however, is simply spending time and spreading affection. And what mom doesn’t get joy from seeing her little girl looking all spiffy? Looking spiffy, though, can mean different things to different people, so have a look at the following tips to dress for Mother’s Day success.

*Hippie Mom* Your mom is a true-blue flower child. She’s been reducing/reusing/recycling since long before in was the “in” thing to do and she tought you to always respect the planet and love nature. Impress her with a frock made from organic cotton, or one made from re-purposed fabric. If all else fails, then just dress the part! Sporty the hippie-revival trend by wearing a flowing maxi dress in a psychedelic print. Something like this Karina Grimaldi dress.

*Holy Mom* There’s only one place your mom is guaranteed to be this Sunday – at church. She’d love to have you sitting next to her in the pew looking as prim and pretty as you did as a kid when she used to dress you up for Easter Sunday. Make mama proud in a grown-up-girly, light color – something stylish, yet modest like this lace dress by Thakoon.

*Meet the Parents* Every mom believes her son or daughter deserves the best. That means she wants her kid to have a mate that’s attractive, but proper. So when you’re meeting your significant other’s mother, you’ll have to have to straddle a thin line. Show the right type of skin – a little shoulder, just a touch of leg – to display that you keep yourself in shape. On the other hand, don’t go to tight and show off ALL your shape. A happy medium like this drapey jersey dress by Diane Von Furstenberg can make potential in-laws happy their child chose you.

*Be a Parent* If you don’t already have children, Mother’s Day can be a keen reminder of how much you want to be a mother yourself. And if you’re old enough to shop online, you’re old enough to know that babies don’t actually come in swaddled packages from the stork. When you and your honey are ready to bring another life into the world, there’s nothing better to spark the mood that an uber-sexy dress. Think backless, strapless, tight & titillating. This Twenty8Twelve mini dress even has ruffles on the bum! If that’s not an invitation to the act of procreation, I don’t know what is.
