Ok fashionistas! I need your help. In a few weeks time, I'm going to be one of those school mums who race around morning and afternoon dropping off and picking up kids. Now thing is, every morning I will have a newborn plus two little peeps to help get ready, leaving me probably about a fraction of a second to get myself ready for the school run. Now while it would be lovely to do the school run in my pj's and bed hair, I'm not sure my kids would appreciate it too much, and I probably wouldn't be giving Josh much of a flying start in making new friends at big school. Plus, we can't all be as naturally stylish as Zoe (see above).
So I need some fashion help from the school drop off fashion experts out there. What do school mums wear? Normally this wouldn't be such a big deal for me either, only I'm yet to shift this baby weight too, so I'm not at the point of feeling confident with just throwing something on and walking out the door. Getting dressed in the mornings is rather stressful, as I don't fit into much and I'm desparately trying to hide everything around my middle.....
So, how can I look half good when I only have half a second to get ready every day? I need some trusty outfits that look good without the effort (and without the smell and sight of possited milk on my shoulder). I'm thinking jeans/tops etc might be a good option? What do you wear everyday? Any tips you can share with me?
You'll find that the mums can be categorised into different groups. You have glamours (full make up), the gym people etc. I am usually in jeans and a clean t shirt with a cardigan on top to cover and baby related stains. As long it is clean it is ok in my book. Don't stress to much about it, you have enough to worry about!
ReplyDeleteI'm a teacher and I could barely tell you what the Mums wear!!
ReplyDeleteThe only time I notice is when the Dads are drooling and the women are all trying not to look - usually at a ridiculously short skirt or embarassingly booby top.
The gym set wear leggings/shorts, sports tops and trainers - but who knows if they're actually heading to the gym or netball or whatever.
I think in a coupla years I'll do gym gear everyday regardless of whether I'm going there!
Comfy dresses or jeans and tops would be standard, I think.
You will shine for being gorgeous and genuine - not what you wear.

I know this post seems a bit silly really. I mean they are just clothes. Not my usual topic of choice, but unfortunately it is something I've thought about but probably only because I'm not currently happy with the way I look. That will change soon though! Once I'm feeling better about myself I'll be less self-concious and less worried about others around me!
