While you might not consider your mom “trendy,” I’m willing to bet that she’s still got a few good pieces in her closet that you can “borrow.” It might surprise you, but so-called “mom stores” like Ann Taylor Loft, J Crew, White House/Black Market and Eileen Fisher actually have a lot of cute stuff, Roberts says. The key is to mix these pieces with trendier items to avoid looking frumpy — try wearing your mom’s blouse with ankle or wide-leg jeans and a flirty hairstyle, Roberts says.
