3 Trends Me & Mom Both LOVE!

A couple weeks ago I thrilled and blessed to have had my beautiful mother, Beth Horn, join me at work for a content day! We had a blast creating some content for Mother's Day this Sunday, and while wearing matching outfits and oohing and ahhing over the EXACT same cuts and prints, I had an idea! 

We are so fortunate to have a couple of mother-daughter duos that work within in the Ruthie Grace / Forged86 family, and more often than not, their tastes in fashion and eye for design are SO SIMILAR! With this phenomena in mind, and m and my mother's love for practically identical pieces, I decided to share the three trends that my mom and I both LOVE!

 1. A STATEMENT SLEEVE

Here at Ruthie Grace, we love ourselves a puff sleeve. This dress is a total show stopper! We loved the satin material, the flattering cut, the square neckline, and most of all, the puff sleeve! My mom wore it to a wedding and got SO many compliments on it! Statement sleeves are here to stay and approved my moms and daughters alike!

2. CONTRAST COLORS

Another raging trend this season is colorblocking and/or patchwork patterns. Do not let "loud" or "crazy" prints scare you away! Pro tip: pair your bright colored blouses with a cream or neutral jean/pant in order to balance the outfit. My mom and I both adored this top for its funky fun coloring! No matter your age or style, venture out and experiment with colors and patterns - we are sure glad that we did!

3. TROPICAL PRINTS

Summertime calls for ALL the tropical vibes. Summer means sun, travel, vacation, family time, you name it! My mom and I both adored this bright and tropical print. She opted for the set, while I went for the dress, and we thought our choices fit us perfectly!
