I have recently realized that I have not bought any clothes that were not work related in about, oh 5 years. I mean, I own jeans and leggings and things like that, but I don’t really own casual tops, sweaters, jumpers etc. On weekends when I worked I would just wear a pair of jeans and one of my work tops.
And I have also realized that I have no idea what ‘style’ I am, as a stay at home mum. I am still not sure if this will be my permanent state, but it is certainly my state until the end of next May. That’s a long time to have nothing to wear.
I know I want easy. Easy clean. Easy wear. No ironing.
I know I want colour. My days of wearing all black are past. Well, except for professionally. Nothing like 10 pairs of black trousers to get you through the work week! 🙂
I am actually contemplating picking up a fashion magazine. Or making an appointment with a style consultant.
Or maybe, I’ll just have my day at the shops that Simon and I have been discussing. One entire day all on my own to poke and try on and try to figure out what direction I shall go.
In my new career.
As a stay at home mum.
No one said that you had to be frumpy when you stay at home. You can dress how you like to feel good about you. Because you deserve it. And damn, you work HARD for it!!!
I like watching the show “What Not to Wear” to get new style ideas, especially if I’m feeling clueless. Don’t know if it’s still showing over there, but maybe you can watch it online if it’s not on the TV. 🙂
combats or jeans and a mix of tunics work for me… i have plain grey to pink check.. and some funky cardis to jazz it up.
Just remember that jewellery wise its better to avoid chains and clasps if you’re baby holding and go for rope/string and jingly bracelets are your friend when baby is bored, lol.
