The older I get, the more I realize how very much I am just like my mom. Isn’t it funny how that happens? I spent my early teenage years thinking she was totally uncool and was the master at crushing my popularity. Mom, did you really wear that sweater to pick me up from school?!
Now, I talk just like her, parent just like her and find myself using the word ‘huh’ way too often, just like her. Which drives me crazyyyyyy
I can’t even pin point when it happened, when did I become the reincarnation of my mom? Was it when I passed 25 or has it just been constantly creeping up since I was little and by the time I’m 50, you may as well call me Lori.
Since the 70s are back in a big way, I now have the pleasure of dressing just like her…well the 17 year old version of her of course. When I donned this poncho, you can bet she just loved it!
But when I sit back and think about it there’s no one else on this earth I would rather be like. My mother is kind, funny and always puts others before herself. Like mother, like daughter; I like the sound of that.

Pretty in a Poncho!!! I bet your mama is beautiful just like you!! My boys laugh at me when I tell them I was Best Dressed in High School and at all the crazy things I do but I know they’re proud and just don’t want to admit it because when I go to the school they’re all about “Hi Mama, or “This is my mom” with a big grin!! I would say just from your Blog and comments, you are all those things and more: kind, funny, giving with a heart of GOLD!!! Oh, and stylish as can be!!!!!
It’s funny how we end up doing the things our Mom’s did that drove us crazy! This is such a great look on you! Your poncho is gorgeous!

I’m noticing myself turn into my mom too. Anyone who knows my mom has actually said the older I get the more I act and look like her. A lot of people say I’m her twin. Even the weird things that I found annoying as a child so I know exactly how you feel haha!

You keep getting such CUTE items in your boutique!! I feel the same way. I sort of dread the years when my kids will feel that way about me and it will be soon for my son! He won’t even walk into school with me anymore starting this year, he walks in with his friends. 🙁 But, that is good he is getting more independent. I still walk my daughter in, so I am enjoying every minute of that while I can!

I dread the day when I’m ‘uncool’ to my boys! I was hard on my mom as a teenager, so I can imagine the payback is coming!
Thanks Marta!
Haha that is me too! The thing that freaks me out is how I talk like her, it’s like man mom, you rubbed off on me too much! Lol
It is funny, I remember thinking I wouldn’t do certain things like her, but now I do all of those things!
Your boys sound so sweet! You are a stylish momma to be proud of!! And you are the sweetest!
I love looking at old pictures too, I’m like I wish you still had that in your closet!
Thanks Biana!! The older I get, the more I appreciate being just like her 🙂
Thanks Bogi!
Thanks Rachelle!
Thanks so much Mica!
That poncho is so cozy and cute! I love it on you! Great picks from Oakleigh Rose too! I want that plaid dress!!
Nothing wrong being like your mom. I sound and resemble more like my mom each day. In love with that poncho. It will be the next piece I buy from your store. Thanks for another fab giveaway, today.
You not only have a sweet smile, you are a sweet person! I not only behave like my mom, I look like her and I’m happy about it. You look very pretty in this poncho; I like its style very much.

I really love ponchos, I have no idea why I don’t own one! They’d be perfect for our fake Winter mornings where it starts off chilly but is 70 degrees by 10 am. You look adorable and chic girlie!

Have a wonderful holiday season!

I’m not sure when it happens but we do all turn into our moms. Right now I have two teenagers who think I’m uncool, but I know they will appreciate me again some day. Just have to live through this bumpy part for a little while. I love your poncho. You look fantastic.
