On Mother’s Day Eve Camille and The SC dashed off into the chill of the rainy May evening to attend the studio opening of 50 Dresses HERE , the new dress designing home of Camille’s dear friend Tess. Camille and Tess grew up together dancing at the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance School HERE. Upon graduation from high school they both left for NYC for college on scholarships, Camille at Fordham University Lincoln Center and Tess at Columbia University. Camille moved back to Denver over a year ago and Tess moved back a few months ago.
Their mothers couldn’t be more happy! Our accomplished, talented and beautiful daughters are back home, lighting up our lives with their bright smiles.
We spent the evening trying on dresses designed by Tess, laughing with old and new friends, toasting to the event and reunions, and enjoying the time spent together. It was a Mother’s Day Eve to remember, as we create new traditions!
Hope you had an exceptional Mother’s Day weekend! The SC is off to join Patti’s growing community of bloggers at Visible Monday HERE and Monday Mingle HERE. And will this be the week that I say good-bye to my boots for the season?
Beautiful ladies, all! Love that jacket! Have a wonderful week, Judith!
That coat is just stunning, Judith! Did you say Tess created all those dresses? What a talented young woman, and she and Camille look radiant today.
What beauties! I love your stunning jacket with the pop of red. It sounds like a perfect Mother’s Day. x
Camille and Tess are so lovely! I hope Tess has much success with her store. And your black and white jacket…WOW! It’s divine.
You look gorgeous in the jacket! Always classy and unique at the same time.
I spent the better part of Mother’s Day stuck in a parking garage waiting on a tow truck. ;(
But the sweetest part of the day was when my son offered to make me a sandwich!
Have a wonderful week!
Wow! You look like a work of art in that photo – a painting-in-waiting!
Patti, Tess designs the dresses and they are made in LA. Camille and I both bought a dress, soon to come on SC.
I love the cut of that coat- and the print, and the way it hangs on you- You are a live wire, bringing life to whatever room you walk into. And how marvelously proud you and Tess’s mama must feel to see your daughters return and start up something good in your hometown. I can’t wait to see Tess’s designs. Speaking of see, this is the first time I’ve “seen” your lovely Camille- what a beauty of a woman, she looks so vibrant- and how proud you must be of her.
Hi Judith!
Camille is lovely! so happy you had a nice mother’s day
You look spectacular Judith!

Lovely!!! You are gorgeous in one of my favorite things: graphic black and white with a touch of red. The young women look so beautiful as well. Friendship is so essential.

I am totally blown away by your sense of style, how you put a look together, you were made to model fashion!!
It sounds like you had an entertaining and memorable Mother’s Day. Tess and Camille are both beautiful, capable women, and they have an amazing role model in you. I can’t believe how stunning you are in the black and white with bits of red–that coat was made for you! You continue to provide me with so much inspiration with your outfits, and your ability to find the joy in each day.
You’re all lovely!
You look amazing in this ensemble. The coat alone is enough to make someone turn and look twice. I love the photos of the daughters, returned, and would have loved to see photos from Tess’ opening.
