Today my own mother in the Look of the Day. The woman who always holds her pinky in the air when she drinks a cup of tea and whom I have never caught wearing a wrong fashion faux pas before.

When I asked her for the Look, I immediately heard a slightly panicked: “Oh dear, what should I wear?” and she first dove into the wardrobe and then into the garden. I believe this was the fourth set, because one didn’t match nicely with the roses (seriously), the other was too frivolous, the third made her too round. Something like that.

In the end, it became this outfit from Marc Cain, her favorite. With a bag from Chanel and a little hat that she bought near her home in South Africa. On her wrist, a bracelet that she received a few years ago from my brother on this lovely day. Her watch is from Bruno Ninaber, she has had it for a hundred years. Just as long as I hope she stays with me.
