Mom was a fashionista always making sure she had the latest styles from head to toe. Her favorite clothing boutique was Talbots's which we always joked about the way she would pronounce it. When she couldn't drive anymore, we would take her over to Beaumont to shop. She finally embraced ordering over the phone. She never owned a computer a day in her life. I learned to love clothes as much as she did. I miss her telling me about her newest outfits!!!!
