Tell us, how many times has your mother tried to convince you to wear longer skirts, more ‘appropriate’ tops, and a jacket with pretty much everything? Mine does it so often, I sometimes try to dodge her gaze when I’m leaving the house just to avoid that mind-numbing confrontation.
So for Mother’s Day, even if you haven’t got her a present, just taking her out to tea wearing something she’d approve of could be gift enough.
Just because it’s mom-approved, doesn’t mean it can’t be stylish. Just think of it as killing 2 birds with one stone; you’re trying something new with your style, and keeping mom happy at the same time.
We’re pretty sure you already have pieces in your wardrobe that could win her seal of approval, so here’s how we’d pair those so they’re real Mother’s Day winners.
If You Really Want To Wear A Skirt
You know how moms get with skirts, right? Nothing is ever long enough. So to keep it cool, and to get mummy to smile, we picked a tie wrap midi with a basic tee. The faux tie bit makes it stylish, the colours are perfect for summer, and there’s no way your mother would hate on you for this one!

The Substitute To Your Crop Tops
The colour nude makes the perfect substitute for a crop top. It blends into your skin giving you the effect you desire and yet isn’t revealing either. Replace your crop with a nude, sleeveless shirt over a pair of palazzo pants. Add on a belt to break up the look and give it some extra edginess.

The Ideal Summer Dress
We know it’s summer, but your dress doesn’t have to be short to be weather appropriate. A white, floral printed dress is what the season calls for, and if you’re really looking to impress, a matching waistcoat wouldn’t hurt. Match your slides to the coat, or the print and you’re good to go!
