We have some branded stuff too that I hate, but wearing it is optional. I try to look professional when we're out travelling, but luckily in my line of work professional equates rubber boots and goretex jackets

Anyway. The hippest mom - and new grandmom - I know at work is also a cyclist, and wears lots of knee-length, colourful dresses. Not frilly feminine ones and not closefitting sexy ones, but semi-fitted, artsy detail, fun Pippi-like dresses without looking childish. A bit like some of these: www.desigual.com. And colourful shoes and boots. She looks fantastic.

OK, that's the second time you've posted a link to a clothing site that left me drooling! It's probably a good thing I live where I do (where 'fashion' is often a new color fleece jacket!) or I'd be soooo broke! There were a lot of really cute, really unique pieces at Desigual. (the other one you shared that I loved had a lot of color block and retro looking dresses, if I remember correctly).

I do like the branded pin idea though. I'm throwing that one at marketing to see what they say. Worst case, maybe there is something I can put together for myself at zazzle or something (using company images)...
