Fashionista Feature: Mama Mia

Hi all!  A few days ago my mom & I were running errands for Christmas (and treating ourselves to pedis).  While we were out, I snapped some pictures to showcase her darling outfit to all the fellow mama readers!

Check out her colorful fashion choices below.

Old Navy green cardigan: $14.97-$22.50

These cardigans were on sale for only $10 in the store, so my advice is to buy there :)

-Similar styles: JCPenney $14 (on sale from $20), Old Navy $14.97 (on sale from $36.94) or JCPenney $20

Apt. 9 yellow tie sleeveless blouse: Old, from 2011 from Kohl's on clearance for about $6 (!)

-Similar styles: Forever 21 $6.80, JCPenney $10 (on sale from $18), JCPenney $10 (on sale from $20), Forever 21 $14.50, Forever 21 $17.80 or Old Navy $12.97-$25 (these were on sale for $12 in the store)

Lee dark wash trouser jeans: Old, from Kohl's in 2011 for approximately $25

-Similar styles: Old Navy $19 (on sale from $34.50), Kohl's $27.99 (on sale from $36.99), Old Navy $29.50 (on sale from $34.50) or Old Navy $29.50 (on sale from $34.50)

All of these Old Navy shirts are good options and are currently priced lower in stores than online.

Add some bright bangles and bracelets to any outfit to add some extra excitement!

Yesterday was a(nother) beautiful and sunny day here in Phoenix, so it was a perfect excuse for my mom to wear a second fun outfit to inspire all you mamacitas out there.

Apt. 9 print tie blouse: Spring 2012 at Kohl's for about $13

-Similar styles: JCPenney $10 (on sale from $17), JCPenney $10 (on sale from $18), JCPenney $10 (on sale from $20), JCPenney $10 (on sale from $20) or Old Navy $22.50 (on sale from $26.94)

I think my mom is proof that no matter what your age or budget you can dress stylishly (and comfortably, because that is what my mother emphasizes most to me whenever we go shopping! :P) for a reasonable price.  After all, Mommy Dearest is where I learned to scour the sale racks first-- and how to use Ebates, too.
(Seriously, if you don't use Ebates yet, you should definitely sign up and start using it every time you shop online, because you get a percentage cash back with every purchase AND coupon codes!  My mom has been using it for years and has literally gotten over $1,300 in cash back checks just from shopping online!  Also, despite the fact that I am not a big online shopper myself, I've still gotten over $70 back... and let's be honest: getting extra money back makes shopping even more fun!)

Have any questions, specific outfit suggestions or requests?  Let me know!  Leave a comment below, e-mail lunavida23@gmail.com, tweet me, or write it on the LunaVida Facebook page.  I love hearing from you guys :)

Merry Christmas Eve!

Oskar & I wish everyone "Happy holidays!"
