What to Wear to Mother's Day Brunch
Sunday is Mother's Day, which means a) you'll be spending a big chunk of time celebrating your mom and b) there's a good chance brunch will be involved. Whatever will you wear?
The confluence of spring, a lady-centric holiday, and a meal that may very well include chocolate chip pancakes calls for a girly look. We're thinking fun prints and cute cuts—plus a plethora of playful accessories—to ensure a fashion-forward (but still family-appropriate) ensemble.

You can’t go wrong with a perfectly pleated frock in a sweet print, especially in honor of your just-as-sweet mom.

4/11Sweater
Yes, it’s May, but we’re big advocates of short-sleeved linen sweaters for spring. This one would pair nicely with some wild pants.
