This Month’s Fashion Finds

15 Comments

When I was pregnant, I wore stuff from the men’s sale rack. It’s the best place to find a classic, oversized look and add my own twist to it. When it comes to clothes I always tend to look comfortable and cool, pretty much laid-back style. Most mornings I get ready in five minutes because I’m taking Mia to play groups, so there are little mantras I use when getting dressed. One of them is ‘go monochromatic.’ If I put on a ”wine” dress and hoodie, to me it looks a little more elevated and planned because it’s monochromatic.

Burgundy Cropped Hoodie: New Look; Dungaree Pinafore Dress: New Look; High-tops: Converse.

It took me a long time to realize that skinny jeans weren’t great for my body type. But then a whole new pant world opened up for me: Omg, trousers! Boyfriend jeans! I’m riding that wave right now. When pants are relaxed, I feel relaxed.

Levi’s 501 CT Boyfriend Jeans similar; Ruffle Shirt: M&S; Leather Brogues: ASOS similar.

Turtle Neck Jumper: New Look; Bell-shaped skirt: H&M.

The tucking-in of the sweater is also a new phenomenon for me. I didn’t know you could do that and still look fashionable. But it’s totally a thing! I first saw it on a girl at a dinner party, and she had tucked a just a tiny part of her sweater, like a thumb’s worth, into silk pants.

What clothing style do you like?

  • One of my favourite places to be with my daughter is in the kitchen, particularly baking with her! A couple of weeks ago it became clear Mia’s kitchen work space needs were not being met. She needed demonstrations in practical life skills which required a series of steps. With the work and busy life in general it wasn’t until recently I was able to figure out and configure a new prepared kitchen environment. But, it has made a huge difference! Mia now independently accesses and prepares snacks, helps herself to drinking water, and accesses water for hand washing, table washing, plant watering...there is a post on my blog Creating the Perfect Montessori Kitchen Space (tips and props you need) if you fancy to check head to link in my bio 💕#montessorikitchen
  • Maybe this day is not one of your favourites but never forget that every day you wake up is an amazing gift and it’s up to you to make it count. After so much fun we had this weekend it is nice to have peaceful day and relax in clean and tidy house again! What have you been up to this weekend? #happymondayyall #letsdothis 🌷
  • We’ve had such a fun day at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. T loved seeing all the cars and Mia and me especially loved the Thakeham family area. There are so many fun games for children, Mia enjoyed the most face painting 😍 Lot’s of delicious food and of course an ice cream 🍦😋Thank you @Thakeham we had a fabulous family day out!! #Familydriven #FOS #ad
  • Simple pleasures this Friday 🌵Hope you all have a great week...mine was so busy but productive! At least weather is a bit cooler but still bright and sunny ☀️ Tomorrow is work day for me, have an event to attend...What are you up to this weekend? 🌷#fridayslowdown
  • Real Food Kids Will Love by Annabel Karmel 🍎🥦🍌🍗🥑🥔🍅 . @annabelkarmel could write a book about anything and I’d buy it. I’ve followed her recipes since Mia’s weaning (and years before while working with children) for that very reason. I trust her and I know that she is creating recipes that get the good stuff into my child, whilst being so yummy that she doesn’t hesitate to pick up her cutlery and tuck in! So I knew I was going to love her brand new book ‘Real Food Kids Will Love’ but beyond everything it was so lovely to meet this gorgeous lady on her new book launch! No need to say that this is No1 cook book in our family at the moment (here we’ve made Carrot, Cheese and Tomato Muffins 😋) #anabelkarmel #gifted
  • June - Our Montessori At Home In Pictures (blogged) . I often receive messages this time of year asking about our routine during the summer. For our home this summer, we will have a mixture of structure and unstructured time in our day. Like many homes, we plan to settle into the relaxed days of summer, taking a break from every day routine. One thing that always remains is reading. We always read, regardless of location and activity and season. You will find books in our car, in our bags, and almost in every room of our home. Enjoy the glimpse. #montessoriathome
  • I have tremendous things to be grateful for. I’m blessed beyond belief for the life and family I have – the good health, happiness and love we share is what living is all about and I couldn’t wish for more. #happybirthdaytome 😊🎉🎂
  • Monday - normally busiest day for me, today I’m in turtle 🐢 speed, not sure if I should complain about heat we have or should be grateful (It doesn’t happen often that UK have such hot weather almost since May) but I feel a bit more clammy than normal 😂 any tips? Long “to do list” is unavoidable I’m afraid 😧 #mondaygotmelike
  • Philips OneBlade Face + Body razor convenient and hygienic, it comes with one blade for the face, and one for the body, as well as 3 suitable combs for the face, and one for the body, to suit your styling needs. That only means one thing T has got spoiled by his girls who simply adore him! I owe a big thank you to @Philipsuk Link in my bio to get same one 😉 #thisisoneblade #ad
