Tack Shop: Dressing Like You're a Mom Going to a Mother's Day Brunch You Planned Exactly 0% of

As it should be.

Welcome to Tack Shop, a shopping column where I (or friends of Clotheshorse) curate a mélange of interesting, fun, delightful things you can invest in.

On Sunday, I will be celebrating my fourth Mother’s Day as a mom, and my second as a mom of two. What do you want to do for Mother’s Day? is a question that my very loving, thoughtful, feminist husband asks me every April, and every April I respond with a variation of the same thing, which is: I literally do not care. It’s not that I actually don’t care, per se, but I just do not want to plan a single thing.

I would like to show up somewhere — wearing a very cute outfit — to spend time with my beautiful, hilarious, brilliant, caring, perfect daughters, and I would like to be handed a glass of a beverage of my choosing. I would like to listen to Fleetwood Mac in the sunshine and look at my children’s miniature, pudgy hands and soft, fluffy eyelashes and remind myself I made them from scratch. I would like to excuse myself from the never-ending, logistical parts of parenthood so I can be fully present in the more fleeting, magical parts of it.

This TikTok recently came across my desk that about sums it up:

For you, that might be arriving to a Mother’s Day brunch you planned exactly zero percent of. That sounds perfect. But you probably need something to wear. Might I be of some assistance?
