You may or may not now that before I started this blog I wrote a fashion blog. That's where my passion for blogging began. Since having children, it was left in the shadows. I'm not really sure why but I think the fact that any money I now have, I seem to spend on clothes for the kids and that I haven't really felt very body and mentally confident.
I'm slowly starting to feel mentally better and i'm trying to do things for myself again. Top of my list is exercise. I've decided to resurrect my passion for fashion and fashion blogging and bring it to this blog in a series called Mama Style.
My first look is very representative of myself and style right now. It shows my mama personality and is very cute.
The tee is from the amazing FMLY STORE which is the Selfish Mother shop. I'd been lusting after something from here for a long time and seeing as I was starting to feel happy, strong and in control again, it seemed like the perfect treat.
I chose the black Mother supersoft tee which was the very first one they designed. £10 from the sale of this top goes to the charity Women for Women International which help women in 8 war torn countries by helping them rebuild their lives. I love the fact that every purchase from the store donates some money to charity. It's a treat for you whilst helping others.
This tee is exactly what is says on the tin, supersoft. It's very comfortable to wear and provides a relaxed, loose fit. I've worn vests underneath for breastfeeding and not felt too hot at all. If you follow me on social media you will notice that I don't take this off. Its become my favourite thing to wear. It's so versatile that I can wear it with anything. I honestly have a very long wishlist from the FMLY STORE so i'm hoping santa is going to help me out with that one.
Here i've teamed it with a skirt I bought from Tu Clothing at Sainsbury's. I spotted this whilst on a recent food shop. The colour is a beautiful pastel pink. There are lots of these style skirts about at the moment and they are perfect for transitioning from summer to winter. This one can be worn with flip flops or sandals to see in the end of our so called summer and then with boots for the upcoming winter.
It's a lovely fit and hides all my mama tum area which is always a bonus. The colour contrasts lovely against greys, black and white so the mother tee was a great pairing for it.
I've tried to find it online but it doesn't appear to be on there so you'll have to check your local store to see if they stock it.
I'm also wearing my stunning Olivia Burton watch. I was never a watch person until I had kids but if i don't have one on, I am lost. They have the most beautiful collection of watches. I genuinely could have every single one on the website. They are so pretty and feminine. You can also get some of them personalised making them unique and extra special.
So there you have it. My first mama style look. I'm looking forward to showing you more of this side of me very soon.
I love this relaxed, yet pretty look. I love those tees, may treat myself soon! Looking forward to more style posts xx
ReplyDeleteI have one of those tees and I love it. The skirt looks fab with it too x
ReplyDeleteI love skirts like this, I always assume they wont suit my post baby body but you look great so I think I should see if I do too!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit! I have the mama version of the tee and I wear it loads. I'm hoping for either another tee or a sweatshirt for Christmas ... Mega hinting going on! I'm also after a pleated skirt for our family holiday next month. Lovely to hear that you're treating yourself x
ReplyDeleteOoh, I've been lusting after that watch! I haven't worn one for years but I suddenly have a hankering for one and I really like that style.

ReplyDeleteI love this idea. And it is great when someone else gets something when we buy stuff. I recently just got that with the school uniform (buy one they donate one)

ReplyDeleteI love this look! I might have to go an buy myself one of those t-shirts!

ReplyDeleteLoving your watch. Your outfit is gorgeous too
ReplyDeleteYou look really nice in the skirt and top. I really love that watch.
ReplyDeleteYou are looking really nice, skirt is lovely too. Great post! X
ReplyDeleteYou look fab hun! I always look at skirts like yours but shy away from them. I never feel like I can pull them off if you know what I mean. You, however, rock yours. And I love the tee. Haven't come across them before but I'll be taking a look now! Looking forward to more fashion posts from you xx
ReplyDeleteYou look stunning! I love that skirt and you know my thoughts on the tee 😝
ReplyDeleteI love this look, those skirts are stunning. I bought one similar but it just did nothing for my body shape and made me look like really stumpy. I'll have to try it again with a different style of top & see if I can make it work!
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely outfit ... it really suits you! :)
