When you finally have a lunch date with the girls, but it’s pissing it down... This goddamn weather keeps stealing all my opportunities to wear nice clothes! Also had the added complication that I had to set off straight after Bailey’s swimming lesson - Covid restrictions means we have to be out of the changing room within 15 mins of getting out of the pool which is challenging with a toddler, so I need to wear clothes I can shimmy into quickly! Most of this outfit was actually put on in the car!
Oh dear, another throwback outfit shot! Today’s weather annoyed me! It looked like it was going to be too chilly for a ‘nice’ outfit but we wanted to make the most of a day without rain and get out so I wore boring old jeans and a tee. Then the sun blazed on us all day and I was way too hot! Could have worn something pretty after all! Oh well, here’s an old shot of something more exciting!
Happy Friday everyone! We’re going to try and make the most of the half decent weather today before the rain spoils the whole weekend and get out on an adventure (probably not in these shoes!) Hope you all have some fun weekend plans!
I’m not really sure you can say you’re wearing ‘street style’ when you’re wearing Joules, but this is about as ‘street’ as I get! Dressed down and comfy for a morning in the park then to do my civic duty! I seem to have had far better luck with preloved maternity wear this time around - picked up these Very mom jeans on Vinted last week, brand new with tags for a tenner! With Bailey I ended up buying my three pairs of skinny maternity jeans new as it was all I could find! Maybe the world decided I needed to be cut a bit of slack since I’m growing two at once this time 😂
Back in my maternity uniform of a stretchy dress! Managed to pick up a couple more on a mini trip round the charity shops today too! It’s funny, I used to complain that Loughborough wasn’t great for shopping, which it wasn’t when I shopped on the high street. But now I’m strictly second hand, it’s become a haven! There are oodles of charity shops here, today I only made it round 4 and still picked up a decent stash, which I’ll be sharing on my stories in a bit. Also managed another shoe save in the form of my Zara leopard lace up flats (93/181) - can never resist pairing this forest green with leopard accessories!
I look smug in this pic because I found flared maternity jeans - I’ve been searching since last time I was pregnant and had started to think they didn’t exist!
