If you want a dress that feels special, but not over-the-top, the Knox Rose™ Women's Short Sleeve Wrap Dress available at Target should fit the bill. The double ruffle on the bottom is super feminine, as is the wrap top, and but the color tones it all down a bit and makes it wearable.

If you need a spruced up shoe to finish off your Mother’s Day outfit, consider the Dolce Vita Hapi Sandal.
