I wandered into our local White Stuff store today in Stamford, Lincs. I fell in love and wanted to take home nearly every item of womens clothing and accessories in the store. This is the type of wardrobe I long for…long flowing tops that are body skimming and not body hugging; comfy yet smart casual clothes that make you feel more like the woman you used to be before a baby came out of you. I’m in need of a mummy makeover White Stuff-style I think!
Back in the pre-Little Miss days, when I couldn’t wear my pyjamas to work, I splurged on an ensemble from White Stuff. A cardigan, t-shirt and lovely, flowy skirt set us back about £100 but it was entirely worth it. I felt feminine yet professional. Like a grown up. Now that I have some funky new hair, I think it’s time to look at the state of my wardrobe. Or lack thereof.
I’ve been advised by Claire at The Good, The Bad and The Ugly to stop wearing my husband’s clothes. Damn. They’re roomy and comfortable but if I must…well, then I must. I cannot guarantee that when I do establish a proper, well-fitting wardrobe that I will always be found in proper clothes. I am a creature of comfort…I love sweatshirts and leggings. But I will make a much better effort to dress well and look good. I do know that when I dress better I tend to feel better which is half the battle to building the confidence which seems to have eeked away the last several months.
I must state that I have no relationship with White Stuff. I just really lust after their clothes. And I think that the sort of clothes that they produce are the perfect fit for Mums who have limited time, resources, funds and energy. What are your favourite stores? How do you keep a bit of the “woman” in you and NOT look like a scummy mummy? Hints and tips are much appreciated as I attempt to regain a bit of ME. I’ll have a fashion show when I finally get that wardrobe sorted out!
