My mom and I have very different senses of style—she loves color and isn't afraid of intricate prints, while I tend to gravitate towards more minimalist pieces. I'd describe her style as sweet, artistic, a little boho, and always comfortable. She loves relaxed tops, cardigans, soft knitwear, flowy dresses, and denim in pastels, jewel tones, and earthy shades.
When she asked me for recommendations on where to shop, Madewell was one of the first places that came to mind. Their aesthetic feels laid-back but still put-together, with pieces that are casual yet intentional.
It just so happens that they're running a sale with the code SUNNYDAYS through June 15, so I pulled a few dresses and sandals I thought she'd like. Here's what I sent her.
This is so her.
A blue sweetheart dress.
I love this for her.
These sandals will go with everything in this story.
A classic midi dress.
I like the shape of this.
I don't know that I've ever seen her in polka dots, but this would look so cute.
I could so see her wearing these.
I think she'd appreciate this relaxed fit.
This color might be a bit out of her comfort zone, but it'd be a good wild card.
She's blonde, so this would match her hair.
She's very into florals.
An elevated pair of everyday flip-flops.
