Mama working wardrobe

Come rain or shine, blast the weather ! I am determined to wear my summer dresses. 

Go on do it ! Just wear them with tights and boots, which is ridiculous it's June! Please let us have a summer this year. 

Wardrobe Recycle

I am still on the de-cluttering mission at home, trying to get rid of stuff I haven't worn in ages. In the process I came across this Aztec printed beauty buried in the depths of the wardrobe that I haven't ever worn. I fell in love with the colours and the print but it is even too 80's for me. I would look like John Collins on a Mexican cruise no matter how I styled it !

I couldn't bear to part with it so I thought why not recycle it and turn it into a high waisted skirt instead that I could then wear winter or summer.

All I did was so easy, cut the top off and stitched the waist up.

A new skirt which I love out old a dress Ive never worn and saved a tiny bit of space in the wardrobe?!

New from the old Brilliant x

Love a leopard

Love a leopard and a leopard print, so when I saw this 70's dress I almost jumped for joy and grabbed it off the rail so fast. I love it with the leopard print boots too and my tiger pendant. My rules are you can never have too much animal print. I am a bit verging on Bet Lynch sometimes x

Yellow in the snow

I'm over the weather and winter in general. I am not a winter person at all apart from Christmas of course. I find this time of year really hard to keep my chin up and not slip into the doom and gloom that is also reflected back at me in the weather. It's also been a tough week here as Rex has been teething so bad and has had bad side effects from his jabs. But today there is a silver lining as Rex has perked up and that has made me smile through the bags under my eyes from lack of sleep ! But also how could you not smile when you look at these gorgeous daffodils that were a birthday gift. My favourite flower and one of my favourite colours. So I was inspired by the daffs this morning and put on my yellow 70's dress. Full of static and rides up my body constantly but I love it. Onwards and Upwards, Bring on spring ! x

Weekend fun and frolics

This weekend was a busy one phew ! But also a fun one.

Saturday we had lovely Cian's first birthday party which was really smashing. Rex was wearing a fab little get up with his party dickie bow, such a cutie.

Then after the party we all went home for a nap. The bouncy castle was exhausting for all of us I think.

We then thought we should get down to trying to keep one of our new years resolutions, to get organised.

Whatever possessed us to do this I don't know. We ventured to Ikea on a Saturday !? We always do this then say never again, as it truly is hell on earth. Yet again and again we always find ourselves going.

After what felt like hours in the black hole of Ikea we were sweaty and getting annoyed with everyone. Swearing (internally as we had Rex with us) all whilst trying to keep Rex entertained. We managed to get some kind of wardrobe system sorted. Plus watched six, yes six members of staff trying to use a fork lift truck to get our three missing bits of wardrobe down. Oh and Rex throwing his shoe off somewhere in Ikea. I had to retrace our steps all the way through the market hall again. I wanted to kill myself. Thank goodness I found the shoe.

God bless people that put children's lost items of clothing up high. Its like a beacon of light when you see it.

We then stuffed Rex and ourselves with Swedish meatballs to try and calm us all down.

I'm saying this again never will we do that again !

Saturday ikea no !

Sunday we had the beautiful Lynne's baby shower a great excuse to dig out a pretty vintage party dress. How amazing is that print and the colour combo love it !

It was a fab afternoon with the most yummy cakes I have ever had. I was gutted as I left my bloomin camera at home so no piccies booo.

I made my gift for Lynne and you can see what I made in my next post.
