Anyone who likens their wardrobe to their favourite cocktail gets an immediate thumbsup from me. Introducin­g the fabulous wardrobe of Sally Bowrey where “mum jeans”, Scanlan Theodore dresses, Glomesh and ’90s influences reign supreme.

While she may have succumbed to the early 2000s bleached-brow trend, Sally’s wardrobe has evolved into a well-curated, tasteful edit where a “buy once, buy well” attitude agrees with her. Her recommenda­tion to shop the Uniqlo men’s department is a great tip.

How would you describe your style? The same way I like my drinks – classic, (occasional­ly bold) and always finished with a twist.

Who are your style icons? Chloe Sevigny, ’90s Gwyneth Paltrow and Zendaya.

What’s the oldest thing in your wardrobe? A Glomesh-style handbag which my nanna made me when I was eight – it is so old it’s back in fashion!

Have you made a style faux pas? Bleaching my eyebrows in the early 2000s … which I do not recommend.

What’s the most you have spent on an outfit? My philosophy is buy once, buy well.

Favourite brands? Australian brands such as Camilla & Marc, Scanlan Theodore, Bianca Spender and Rebecca Vallance are top of the list, mixed with brands like Staud and Ganni.

Most surprising thing in your wardrobe? The clothes’ moths that ate every single jumper I own this year.

Top three wardrobe must haves? A great suit, white T-shirts and plenty of shoes!

What is the most sentimenta­l item in your wardrobe? My wedding dress … even though it still has mud stains on the train.

Denim or dresses? I used to wear a lot of dresses but now that I am running around after kids I have switched to mum jeans.

Summer or winter fashion? I like midseason dressing. Not too hot, not too cold.

Heels or sneakers? I love a midheel, comfortabl­e but with a little lift. One of my favourite brands would have to be Neous.

How many pairs of shoes do you own? Too many. I’ll need to come back as a centipede in my next life!

What would you buy if money was no object? A Bvlgari Serpenti watch encrusted with diamonds.

Favourite fashion era? I love the ’90s, epitomised by Caroline Bessette-Kennedy in Calvin Klein slip dresses and pea coats.

Best designer fashion purchase this year? A pair of Valentino studded slides, they are like a really luxe version of Birkenstoc­ks.

Best bargain fashion purchase this year? White men’s T-shirts from Uniqlo.

Three beauty products you can’t live without. Zinc cream, water and sleep … and when the last two aren’t possible, plenty of Three Warriors fake tan.
