A Letter to Mum’s Everywhere, from team Walk-In

Dear Mum,

Thanks for showing me how to put lipstick on for the first time. The peachy-pink hue smudging just a tad as you helped me trace the curve of my lips.

Thanks for sharing your genetic shoe obsession; I think of you when I trip over the three pairs of heels littered around the bedroom floor.

Thank you for explaining which silhouettes work for my growing body shape when magazines tried to define women’s bodies by types of fruit.

Thank you for knowing that when it comes to style, you can’t go wrong with a good quality coat or pair of boots (and that just because it’s cheaper it doesn’t mean it’s always a good deal).

Thanks for buying me my first ‘grown up’ handbag, the purse feeling like it was full of generational wisdom.

Thank you for letting me express my ever-evolving style, even if you hated the short skirts and slogan tees.

Thank you for being my first fashion role model and sharing that a great wardrobe doesn’t mean constantly consuming but that buying well-made, considered pieces is the most sustainable and timeless fashion tip of all.

This Mother’s Day we’re giving ‘thanks’ to the most fashionable mum’s around the country.

Read on for some pieces to wear when you spoil your mum or for you to dress in together (matching outfits, anyone?).

Dinner and Movie

Treat your mum to a dinner in town before heading to the cinema to catch the latest chick flick. This versatile Maggie Marilyn skirt is a classic cut that screams grown-up elegance.

City Lunch

If you prefer to go out during the day, this bold purple Balenciaga skirt is a great city look. Pair it with boots and a t-shirt for a more casual style or dress up with pumps and a sheer top for when you’re heading somewhere fancy.

It’ll brighten both you and your mum’s day.

Heading to the Nail Salon

What better idea for Mother’s Day than pampering yourselves? This playful, blue House of Sunny cardigan is a bright way to dress during your Mother’s Day pamper sesh. Cosy, cute and perfect for pics together.

Winery Tour

Head out to the country for a day trip in the gorgeous Alessandra Rich floral dress. A great number to sip on some sav blanc in, you’ll be able to spend precious time with your mum and look pretty in patterns all at once. Buy your mum some matching flowers for extra daughter brownie points.
