High Street Buys

It's taken me nearly two days to write this post, I've had a very clingy little girl not wanting me out of her sight or giving anything else my attention. The minute I sit down, 'mummy, mummy, mummy' and the tugging of whatever clothing I'm wearing ensues until I abandon whatever it was I was trying to do. She's normally on the go constantly and will amuse herself quite happily whilst I potter around or sit at the computer so I fear another cold may be around the corner, we shall wait and see....  but anyway, how can you say no to this face?!

I always find this time of year difficult. We are slowly moving out of Winter and into Spring, hurray!  But most days are still quite dull and dismal and it's usually still cold. So before I start buying my key pieces for spring I want to find a few transitional pieces. Something that can brighten a dull day but also classics that I can team with lots of other items and get use out of.  Since being a mummy, as much as I love fashion, somethings just aren't practical.  Whilst hitting my local shopping centre yesterday, here are my favourite finds for this week that I think suit any age group.

The white shirt.  How can you go wrong with a classic? They are staple for any wardrobe. My two favourite in store right now are from Topshop. Statement sleeves dominated the runway for SS17 and we are starting to see them all over the high street. I love this trend because you can stick to a small fluted sleeve or stand right out with oversized bell sleeves, it entirely up to you. 

"Imputed with glamour and poetry.  Freedom and impetuousness.  The prim white shirt turns out to have a thousand identities".
Gianfranco Ferre

This first shirt is quite boxy, I love the bow tie detail at the back and the puff sleeve. I would add a statement necklace or chocker as the shirt is minimal but it is easy team with anything from jeans to a pleated midi.  It can definitely elevate your wardrobe, adding a fresh trendy vibe.

The second is a crisp white poplin shirt with embroidery detail. I would team this with a high waisted jean or skirt but you could go all out with the western theme and team it with a midi skirt.  Edgy cowgirls and country belles are back again this Spring/Summer so don't be afraid to release your inner cowgirl!

If you're looking for a Spring coat then for me this Marks & Spencer city long coat is perfection. Made from 97% cotton and 3% elastane, the length looks great with trousers or a dress. The yellow just pops, I can't wait to wear this over grey city shorts, a white shirt and tan wedges.

So that's my favourite buys for this week. If you're not sure what to wear with what just comment below and I'll help and advise. 

Mothers Day isn't far away, next week I'll be reviewing my perfect gift ideas for every budget.

Happy shopping all!
