I added a lot of colour to wear this dress for staying at home, but then simplified it later in the day when we went out to the doctors to get all of our flu shots.
What I wore:
Necklace: Ruby Olive Art series long striped pod necklace
Dress: Asos grey skater dress
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Why I wore it:
I like this little grey skater dress but it really needs to be worn more! With a morning at home on a slightly cooler autumn day, I decided to dress it up a little with this duster kimono instead of my go-to at home cover up, my cosy old bath robe! I really liked how this made me feel a little more pulled together and dressed up, and I liked the bright colours the floral print added. Kimonos are great for that.I still felt the outfit was missing a little something though so I added in a bright necklace too. The kids enjoyed the necklace as well! They always play with my accessories whenever we have a cuddle.
This was an easy and comfortable outfit and simple to change afterwards when we headed out.
Last worn: floral duster kimono, statement necklace, grey skater dress, Havaianas.
Other ways to wear: floral duster kimono and shorts, grey skater dress worn two other ways.
Perfect for pregnancy: grey skater dress in second trimester.
What's In My Bag: Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere
What I wore:
Shoes: New Balance white and blue sneakers
Bag: Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere
Why I wore it:
This is the simplified version of the outfit above, that I wore out the house to head to the doctors. No extra cover up, as it was warmer by then and I just wanted an easy outfit I could wash as soon as I got home. I left the necklace at home too so it wouldn't get covered in germs - especially with holding the kids close for their flu vaccinations, I didn't want them playing with it and possibly transferring germs.I've been using my Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag a lot recently, but this time around I went with my Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere. Just in case the kids needed their water bottles (both fit in here) and because I could wipe this down when we got home and sanitise it.
And of course my New Balance sneakers as they are the only shoes I am wearing out of the house at the moment!
Thankfully the vaccinations went well - both kids were really brave and we were in and out quite quickly. I was glad we could go as a family so hubby and I could take a kid each, even if it meant we took up the entire surgery as they can't have more than 4 people in the (small) waiting room at a time!
Last worn: grey skater dress (above), New Balance sneakers, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere.
Other ways to wear: grey skater dress and Converse, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere and jeans.
Perfect for pregnancy: grey skater dress in second trimester, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere in third trimester.
