Dress Like a Mum Founder Zoë de Pass gives us her top ten wardrobe essentials
I'm Zoë, I live in London, I love fun and fashion and I promised myself that I would stay stylish and keep my love for clothes regardless of dealing with the madness of 2 kids (with a third on the way!)
I want to change the bad rep and perception that mums can't dress; that we automatically lose our sense of style and our passion for fashion just because we have a kid or two, because we don't.
I started my DRESS LIKE A MUM project because I frequently receive comments such as 'you don't look or dress like a mum', 'I can't believe you have two kids' and I couldn’t work out if this was a compliment or not and if it is, why is this?
My mission is to make the high street a better place for Mums and Mums to be to shop - I feel like we have been an overlooked demographic and that massive assumptions (eg. we do not need / want to be fashionable while pregnant/ nursing) are being made about us.
I believe that we need to educate retailers and brands, help them understand what it means for a body and a mind to grow a baby and in turn help them cater for us better"
