For some, the thought of letting your mum loose in your wardrobe and choosing your outfits for a week is unthinkable.

But that’s exactly what Kristabel Plummer, a fashion and lifestyle blogger living in London, did when she found she was lacking style inspiration.

In a week long experiment Ms Plummer’s mother was given creative control in all her daughter’s fashion choices despite their differing attitudes to dress sense – Plummer has a more “experimental way of getting dressed”, while her mother favours a more “classic” approach.

The results, Ms Plummer told Buzzfeed, were surprisingly good.

Ms Plummer’s mother helped her daughter pick outfits for a host of occasions including birthday drinks, a conference and for working at home.

The choices included a flowing floral print skirt for a Hawaiian-themed party, 70s style flairs, a button-down black dress pulled from the bottom of her wardrobe and a sleek, white playsuit to wear to work.

Despite her anxieties about letting her mother overhaul her style, Ms Plummer said that the experiment made her realise that “it’s not necessarily a bad thing when a parent approves of your outfit”.

“It’s always a good thing to get a fresh perspective of energy once in a while,” Ms Plummer told Buzzfeed, saying that the experiment made her “admire” the way her mum “makes every day into an occasion” with the clothes she wears.

“I will definitely continue to follow her motto of having fun with what you wear and not caring what anyone else thinks,” she added.
