Today was my youngest son’s first day at Primary School. I’d love to say he was a delight to get ready and that stress levels were low, but I’d be lying.
He was clearly nervous which manifested in a full scale tantrum when it came time to get dressed. I took the opportunity to sneakily record said tantrum (I’m building up quite a collection of embarrassing moments to show future girlfriends….)
Noah's Stylish OOTD
Thankfully once we got him into the playground he spotted a few familiar faces from nursery and things took a positive turn. So much so that I barely got to walk him into the classroom before he was calmly saying “See you later mum”…….. *sniff*
As for me, I dressed casually today
- Black Ski Pants – George @ Asda
- Swing Style Wolf Tee – Primark
- Red Boyfriend (whatever that means…) Cardigan – F&F @ Tesco
- Quilted Pumps – Primark
The logic behind the flat shoes being if Noah decided to make a run for it I’d be hot on his tail!
and yes…. unashamedly that bed is still unmade xox

@Lindsay Thank you! I think I'll find it odd having so much free time after eight years (my eldest is 8 ) xox
I wish my mum had dressed like you for the school run! You manage to look good even when taking the little ones to school
You need an award

@Marie *high five* xx
How cuuute! You have such a darling little boy! And you're such a hot mamma!
I've told you this before I think, but I love the wolf! I have a few wolf shirts myself, maybe I'll bust mine out today..xox
On the way to work each morning I walk past the primary school that I went to when I was young and you should see the state of some of the women stood outside. Hair done done, sometimes in pyjama bottoms! Its absolutely shocking and being the bitch I am, I do often walk past thinking "Really now, who was it that chose to get "that" pregnant? Hope she dressed better that night!"
Your outfit there is fab and much more appropriate for the task at hand – not too flash, not too casual – just right. Good thinking on the flatties too! xx
Aw he looks so cute! It was my sons first day at primary school today too
x
@ellamarie Look magazine did a page on Wolf tees this week, we are so trendy!! LOL
@Beth you are a sketch!! We all think it but rarely say it
@tackyblue awww I hope your son's first day went well too, it's a worrying time as a mother, all you want for them is to feel happy xxx
Noah is so cute!
And you look fabulous Arlene
I am seriously coveting your Primark shoes, are they old? My Primark only seems to stock a load of tat!! xx
He's such a cutie…
Didn't you know you should leave the bed unmade as often as possible to let the mattress dry out after sleeping in it? Keeps it fresher day to day and means it lasts years longer. That's my kind of good housekeeping!
i love the outfit!!! this is basically how i dress — comfort and cute. i love cardigans – i need more of a collection since we'll be moving way north than where we live now….
That's a great outfit, and I love your pumps!
Your son is super cute in his outfit too! Tiny elegant man there!
