Brides mother has chosen an identical colour way for outfit

Attending son’s wedding in August this year as MOG. I wanted to avoid a clash with the MOB with outfits so asked what she had planned. She was going with pink mix to coordinate with bridesmaids. Based on this I spent a small fortune on a navy blue / lilac outfit and accessories. Five months on she changed her mind and bought an outfit that’s identical in colours to my own. Should I ignore and just go with what I’ve bought? I can’t afford to buy again and it took forever to find a good fit. I’m worried we are going to look like bookends! Any advice on how to handle please.

Just stick with what you’ve bought. You know how hard it is to find an outfit- she may have wanted to coordinate with the bridesmaids but couldn’t find anything suitable. I wouldn’t hold it against her or be annoyed by this.

Unless it's actually the same dress it really won't matter or be that noticeable. I wouldn't give it thought.
