BLOUSES

I know we’ve been back and forth on this a lot over the past few weeks but I now feel confident enough to say: IT’S SPRING. Which has got us in the mood for some pretty frilly and floral tops. Meet ‘The Spring Blouse’. Whether you have toddlers, you’re pregnant, you’ve just had your baby or are back at work and back in your pre baby clothes but not quite feeling them, then the spring blouse is for you. Here’s why:

The fabric is light-weight which means it’s perfect for layering up under a lightweight jacket,the fit is super-forgiving so it will skim all of the post-baby lumps and bumps and the button down styles are perfect for you breast-feeders. Best thing of all, this is the key piece that helps you look smart and put-together without even trying.

We hung out on the weekend and both turned up wearing new summery blouses. Mine is fromMiss Selfridge at Very and its such a lovely fine cotton so felt really light and airy even though it has sleeves.

Sam’s pale floral top is from River Island and really ticks the ‘looks like I’ve made an effort without even trying’ box. A great one for wearing to work.

This Topshop blouse is the most beautiful colour and would go perfectly with a red lip (check Sams red lipstick guide HERE .) This top from Topshophas easy access for breastfeeding, and so does this Miss Guided shirt.

THISdoesn’t look much in the image but is a really lovely simple blouse, with on trend tassle detail, and a total bargain for £39. I just added it to my shopping basket, oops.

Everyone gets a kick out of buying new clothes but my best piece of advice for someone who has just had a baby is not to spend big. Of course you want to buy some new clothes to make you feel better, but your body is still changing so for the next few months, spend little on key items.
