As mothers with fast paced lifestyles we often forget that we need to invest in ourselves too, after all clothes won’t change the world – the women wearing them will.
Kids are just as fashion conscious and if you are a proud ‘mummy in heels’ like myself and cannot seem to chase them in stilettos then it’s a good thing that kitten heels have made a comeback. Oversized handbags allow us to be practical and stylish too! Here are some tasteful, classy and fun trends.
Brights
If Paris fashion week was anything to go by, the power of pink and rainbow brights on cold shoulder dresses to ruffletops was a scene-stealer!
Florals
Floral prints are no longer synonymous with ditsy; these blooms are getting bolder, after all flowers make everything better!
Quick craft
We all have that one pair of denims that we will not abandon. Why not ‘recycle’? Grab a pair of scissors, fray at the knees, add a flower motif on the thigh and you’re trending! Get the little ones and create matching pairs! Don’t leave the boys out, wildlife motifs work just as well!
Statement stripes
Get your zebra on with statement stripes that look good in kids’ fashion and mum’s!
Mix and match
Play around with silhouettes and colours, create a palette that will give you and mini-me a refreshing, festive wardrobe!
Happy holidays to the mums raising businesses and babies!
