For Mother’s Day, my family went to La Baraka, a French restaurant. I dressed in a Catholic schoolgirl skirt so my gorgeous mother, BarbaraB, and I could feel 25 years younger. I gave us the gift of youth!
On me:Kilt with trompe l’oeil pins by Francis by Christian Francis Roth
Prada Gaufre bag
Mid-’90s Prada Mary Janes
Diabless t-shirt
Mom suggested that next time I wear the skirt, I accessorize with knee socks and saddle shoes. Who knew she was so pervy? I guess that’s where I get it from. Now that I think of it, I have a little white blouse that ties right under the bust. I guess I’ll break that out for next Mother’s Day.
Great picture!!! Y’all are too cute!
I saw that skirt there, yesterday. And loved it. You’re a good daughter.
What a cute photo…and when you wear the skirt with knee socks and saddle shoes…please post a pic.
Forgive my perviness, but your legs look hawt in that skirt! It sounds like you two had a wonderful Mother’s Day.
What a great Mother’s day present- the gift of youth. haha.
Too cute!!
Hi there-what a gorgeous photo, hope you all had a fabulous day! You totally rock in that skirt, I love it!
A snail trail on your skirt? that is pervy!
I think you can get away with that look Wendy, but the sophisticated 5th former suits you best.

I love it! It’s like chic, casual and sophisticated all in one little Wendy B. package. Plus you look 22, woman, how the hell do you do it?
OMG, you and your Mom are so cute!!!! You have such a gorgeous family.
Gorgeous!
Superb.
You both look great, and I knew that skirt would suit you!
Love the skirt- I used to wear little plaid Catholic school skirts in University all the time- got lots of attention in my bar-going days.

How clever– the trompe l’oeil pins!
You look just like your Momma! :]
BarbaraB and WendyB are beautiful!

So cute! Now we know where you get your big smile.
AH! The skirt, the shoes, the huge smiles! Those legs, Wendy?!
You and mom are lovely! And I adore those trompe l’oeil pins!

I love the skirt, the print is really cool. And safety pins were all over the McQ collection, you’re ahead of the pack.
This is too funny, I saw the skirt at Nordstrom on Saturday! And looked at it! How’s that for progress on the fashion over frump endeavor…?
You look absolutely excellent in that outfit Miss Wendy, and you and mom together is such a sweet image! Thank you for sharing Mom with us.
BTW, you will be pleased to know I purchased a pair of *not* preppy sneaks, shown in today’s post. How cool is that?!!
Have a great week!

Did you have a virgin Shirley Temple cocktail?!
Damn those snails! His line is killing me, I love that skirt.
You are the practically identical to your Mum! Brilliant x
BarbaraB is awesome! I see where you get your “wear what you want” philosophy!
You sassy little girl you! You and your mom look gorgeous!
yum to those legs! and a pervy mama!!!
Those big safety pins are adorable.
Looks great! BTW, wait till you see my photo post (when I get a chance to upload the pics). I am wearing knee socks with a mini.
Such a sweet, creative present, WendyB! And this photo makes it perfect–what a great memory for the two of you.
