Mission Impossible?

My mission, if I choose to accept it, is to find "the outfit" fit for the mother of the bride..... So tomorrow I am heading south to the US for the day in search of the elusive outfit. Trouble is I have made the big mistake of having something in mind and of course when that happens, the damn thing doesn't exist. I am thinking muted colours,,,,but this year the trend is toward high contrast prints. It has to have sleeves to hide my flabby arms....everything I have seen as been sleeveless, It as to be comfortable and yet extremely stylish, figure flattering and immune to creases. As you can see the mission is a little complicated. I have been checking out various websites to get some ideas.....even M & S athough they won't ship to Canada! I am getting desperate. My strategy is try on anything, be open minded, spend whatever it takes......wish me luck. I hope I am only going to be mother of the bride once ..... so no pressure!!

Surpringly this is not what I have in mind!! Are we meant to believe that these models are old enough to be a mother of the bride? Or is this just delusion on my part!! Scarily I am the same age as Madonna and we are not in the same ballpark either.

Fingers crossed...

Hope you find something suitably glam. Our friend who is flying to the UK for her son's wedding is dismayed to learn that the mother of the bride is having plastic surgery. Now that is going too far! After all who's day is it?

Just be you SITH! You'll be glam any way you show up to the event.
