Instagram post 2180050071345029636_41401028 Here’s a question: what’s the oldest item of clothing in your wardrobe? Mine is probably this skirt, bought from @mintvelvet circa 2014 and I still love it. Top is also 2 years old from @warehouseuk, proof that shopping from my wardrobe is actually possible. I’ve been a bit internet shopping happy lately and I want to start trying to make more outfits from what I already own (which incidentally, is more than enough). I’m asking myself questions like: Do I really ‘need’ this item? Will it go with anything already in my wardrobe? I’ve currently got a little pile of clothes waiting to be returned to ASOS (it’s early days for my new regime 🙈). In other news, this bag from @demellierlondon was a birthday gift from my husband, which doesn’t count as a purchase by me even though I sent him the link 🙌🏻. It’s amazing quality and I know that I will get so much wear out of it that the price tag feels slightly more justifiable. Joining in with #whatmamaworemonday with @heyitsromeca and @georgina_patient. Head chopped off due to my roots in desperate need of some assistance 😱👵🏻. #over40fashion #40plusstyle #mumstyle #midlifefashion #over40style #littleloves #morningsunshine #fashionblogger #midlifematters #thegoodgram #shopmywardrobe
Instagram post 2177653168493974309_41401028 We can focus on the rain we’ve had this week (too much!) or we can focus on the glimmers of sunshine ☀️. I know which I’m going for. I won’t spell out the (not so) hidden metaphor because I know you’re all intelligent human beings who can work it out for yourselves 😉. I’m off to see Russell Brand this afternoon so will keep you posted as to how that works out! Have a good Friday one and all. #101thingsthatmakemesmile #dogsofinstagram #thegreatoutdoors #littleflashesofdelight #autumnsunshine #littlelovescustomcrafts
Instagram post 2176226103886504130_41401028 “Nothing beats kindness” said the horse. “It sits quietly beyond all things.” Thank you for putting it so beautifully @charliemackesy. A simple act of kindness replaces the need for words. We could all do with receiving more, we could all do with giving more. Thank you @belizmat and @nicobe2 for these gorgeous birthday gifts - two of the kindest people I know. #worldkindnessday #charliemackesy #theboythemolethefoxandthehorse #101thingsthatmakemesmile #littleloves #thegoodgram
Instagram post 2175725196514087601_41401028 Sausage dogs and pom poms - gotta find some good in the grey days that we are experiencing at the moment. Today started off so well with sunshine and blue skies but as soon as we set out for our dog 🐕 walk, the heavens opened again. Sod’s law eh? If you fancy a nosey at some of my latest Little Loves then there’s a new blog post link in my bio. If not, I love you anyway! Tell me your top tips for getting through the dreary days... #midlifematters #snugglyjumpers #littleloves #autumnfashion #midlifefashion #midlifeblogger #over40fashion #40plusfashion #mumstyle
Instagram post 2171752167693880859_41401028 Finally 18! Ever the fashionista (see photo 4 for evidence). It’s been a mixture of pleasure and pain parenting this one but she’s one of a kind who knows her own mind and I love ❤️ her to bits. Happy birthday to my second-born and mini-me. I’m so proud of you and can’t wait to watch the rest of your life unfold. Adulthood starts here (so does doing your own washing 🤣😜). #Turning18 #18thbirthday #daughterlove #celebration #101thingsthatmakemesmile
