Shoes Clues: What You & Mom Should Wear on Mother’s Day

 

Remember the days of mommy/ daughter outfits, where you and your mom dressed almost identically for special occasions? Even if YOU didn’t do it, I bet you know someone who did. Either way, I say go for it this Mother’s Day. Not feeling super cheesy? Do like McDonald’s does on the Filet ‘o Fish and serve up half a slice by keeping the similarity below the ankles. If she happens to be over her high-stepping days, pick a brand that used a particular color or print on a few styles. Alice + Olivia is one example…

For you:

Alice Olivia Delilah Snake Print Sandals 

Alice + Olivia “Delilah” snake print sandal- available at Saks.

 

For Mom (if she’s the flats type):

Alice Olivia Bella Snake Print Sandal

Alice + Olivia “Bella” snake print flat sandal- available at Shopbop.

 

If your mom’s anything like mine

Alice Olivia Juliet Snake Sandal

Alice + OliviaJuliet” snake print platform wedge- available at Neiman Marcus.

 

Here’s an idea- start the day with a little shoe shopping. I suggest a department store because they’ll likely have a larger selection of possibilities for both you and mom. Maybe be the two of you should both wear something simple- jeans and a white top, khaki, or something like that. Once you’ve gotten your shoes, enjoy a “Momosa” soaked brunch and then take a tipsy family photo.

Frangelico Momosa

 

Recipe:

1 oz Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur

1 oz passion fruit juice

3 oz prosecco

1 organic cherry

Combine Frangelico and passion fruit juice with ice and shake well.  Strain into a champagne flute and top with prosecco.  Garnish with an organic cherry.

Alice + Olivia is known for its ability to inject playful sophistication into easy-to-wear apparel. The brand launched its shoe collection this year, but Spring 2012 represents its first complete line. The shoes presented, like the clothes, were fun and varied in style, but managed not to go too far over the top. There were pumps and sandals with wedge and stiletto heels in various vivid hues. My favorites? The candy colored wedge sandals.

Betsey Johnson  has a tendency to toy with tutus, tulle and prom queen themes. For Spring 2012, though, she pushed the buck a bit further with her whimsical T&A themed collection. Body-hugging  bra top dresses, sparkly jumpsuits and cigarette pants were paired with baby-doll shoes and lace up booties- all on pole-worthy platforms. Notwithstanding their “working” girl inspirations, the shoes were still more party than prostitute. I’m especially excited about the work boots with glittery platforms.
