Spring means not having to take all your outfit shots in the garden 😃 Shoes saved today are yet another pair of lace up flats, bringing the total to 85/181!
Three years ago today me and @whitbreaddanny were having the loveliest stopover in Newcastle followed by a long weekend in Edinburgh. God I miss weekends away. There would definitely be a lot less rum cocktails consumed this these days but I was really looking forward to exploring new places with Bailey in tow and it still makes me a bit sad we haven’t been able to do it while he’s small. Having the pubs back this week has been lovely but I really can’t wait till overnight stays are a thing again!
The sun has been just glorious the last few days, which is good news for my grid as I feel far more inspired to wear pretty clothes when the sun is shining! It’s also good news for the shoe challenge as I need to get a wriggle one after a slow few weeks... Luckily on that front, I realised I forgot to count the yellow wedges I wore recently so I’m one ahead of where I thought I was! 84/181 are my bright green Primark sandals! I fell in love with this chunky style last year and acquired more than a handful of pairs, but I can’t say I wouldn’t be willing to add some more if these bright colours to the mix!
S’cuse the messy mum bun, we just got back from Bailey’s first swimming lesson since Covid kicked off! I was a bit apprehensive as we’ve only been in the pool once since then during the Summer, but I needn’t have worried as he LOVED every minute! The second we walked into the health club and he spotted the pool he started yelling ‘WAAATEEEER!!!’ and the biggest challenge was stopping him from launching himself in there fully clothed! It was so wonderful to see him laughing, kicking and splashing again, we absolutely can’t wait till next week!
I’m cheating again and using a throwback outfit shot, because Fridays are for pretty frocks and I’m anything but pretty today 😴
Here’s lookin’ at you, kid! No, I didn’t lie on the floor in a public park in inappropriate shoes to catch this shot, I’m just in my garden. I only do that when I have a photographer on hand to make me feel better about my Insta-wankery. Embarrassment shared is embarrassment halved, right? Too bad said photographer wasn’t about to catch the behind the scenes though. Embarrassment aplenty there...
