What I Wore This Week

When you're a working mum, dressing isn't always easy. 

By this I mean, actually getting dressed is a challenge; you've got a toddler with separation anxiety hanging off your leg screaming 'pppiiiiiigggg' (because he wants to watch Peppa Pig, not because you've had chocolate digestives for the last eight meals, hopefully), and you haven't done washing in God knows how long. I always assumed I wouldn't want 'nice' clothes anymore, since everything would be covered in snot, but even though a shoulder of snot is a certainty, I still want to wear clothes I love every day. 


One of my beloved Zoe Karssen sweatshirts - a working from home staple


Here, I'll share my daily #ootd posts from Instagram with some of my favourite outfits & why I love them. From the casual brands I'm obsessed with (hello ZOE KARSSEN) to the fast fashion high street buys I've impulse purchased online while stuck at home with a poorly boy.

The statement jacket is a good friend to tired mums. All eyes on the snazzy bomber. No eyes on my, ahem, eyes. This Zara number is one of my faves.



Anyone else currently obsessed with ruffles? The high street is packed full of them, and this H&M cardi was an impulse purchase en route to a meeting and I've hardly stopped wearing it.

A simple Levi denim jacket is one of the best investments you can make, especially for spring. Denim is hardy enough to withstand ALL the snot, which is why I'm often in it from head to toe.

I've got two military khaki jackets, one from the actual military (vintage US airforce from Vietnam) and one from, well, M&S. The below is British high street all the way.



A natty print is a great way to brighten up any day. Since I am the craziest of cat ladies, I couldn't resist this H&M blouse. Think it was only about £15, too. BARG.
