So as a parent I have items that I can just grab in an instant and like clothes that don’t need a lot of effort putting on and as the new school year is on the horizone, feel that I need to have a good capsule wardrobe, for comfort everyday school run clothes.
If I have to think about it too much, I know it is no and get everything, fashion wise done, and seeing I didn’t wear all my shorts gonna change into these in the evening and have them as lounge wear, for the time being.
Gray is one of my colours I always go for, as it goes with such a lot of other clothes, and in as Summer is over, great to put on to take kids back to school. Of course if we do get a late summer weather in September, it may be too warm to wear yet, but can last for all year, and for a cardigan, top, skirt, trousers and jumper, or even a coat, will last a long time.
Of course check washing instructions and is not suitable for washing machine, I tend to not buy it. I like clothes that are easy to grab and wash, without too much of a fuss.
I am wearing Gray as I write this blog post.
The next item I like to have as we move to the autumn is adding more layers and get cosy, when it is bitterly cold outside, or chilly. Yet easy to put on without searching too much, and have them whatever style out ready to wear and again not having too many zips or buttons to put on, in a dash.
Moving away from gray, or some may call it silver, it depends on the fabric and I go for 100% Cotton, with some wool too, but avoid too much wool, as they can shrink when washed, go out of shape or itchiness and I have had rashes sometimes, so if you buy woollen items, wash before wearing to stop this. I find they can leave the dye can go onto the body and then cause itchiness.
Navy blue. One of my colours I like to wear, but this style would not necessarily suit me, and be too long, from experience, but if right for these colour and style, then these can be great with a cardigan and goes with gray, for transforming the dress for the winter, by adding a pair of tights, ankle boots and as see in the picture a matching hand bag to match the boots.
Jumper dresses, are great and I have a few of these in my collection of clothes and can’t wait to wear these. Of course summer, not good if there is a heatwave, but if washed okay, then a piece to wear all Autumn and winter, and are long lasting so versitility is there and for many colder seasons to come.
Brilliant for the school run as they are one piece and then just add tights, with boots, or leggins and wear as a tank top, along with a nice belt.
I will do more blogs like this, if you like it and tell me of your items you like to have as we change seasons. You can leave a comment below.
