Here's what I wore to visit family and go shopping:
Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Top: Jeanswest 'Ruby' mixed print shirt
Jeans: Jeanswest 'Fiona' skinny leg pant in shiraz
Shoes: Acne pistol boots in "skin"
It's the first time I've worn this shirt on the blog, but not the first time I've worn it. I bought it back when I was still pregnant and Jeanswest were having one of their 40% off sales. For those early days of breastfeeding, a button up shirt over a breastfeeding singlet is a great outfit idea when you have to get out of the house and you want to feel dressed up. I just wasn't organised enough when I wore it to get a photo for the blog.
Wore the shirt this time with skinny jeans and ankle boots, just like the suggested styling idea on the site. Was such a nice outfit, even if I didn't fully think it through. Baby T was being babysat by family as I had a few errands to run in the morning, and then we had a family BBQ in the evening. When I went to leave baby for a few hours I realised that I hadn't brought a bag for my own things - they were just in the baby bag! Ended up carrying my wallet and phone around in the morning, wishing I'd thought a little longer about what I was doing to have realised I'd need a handbag for when the baby bag was left behind. Just too used to going out and about without a handbag now I guess.
Last worn:Ray-Ban wayfarers, burgundy skinny jeans, Acne pistol boots. First time I've worn the shirt on the blog.
Here's what I wore to spend the morning at the beach:
Jacket: Just Jeans dark brown cropped cotton trench coat
Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Tee: Grey v-neck tee with rolled sleeves
Jeans: Jeanswest blue skinny jeans
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff coated canvas mini MAC in berry stripe
This tee is becoming my beach wear tee! Wore it to the beach last time too. It was a much colder and windier day this time around, but we went to out local dog beach despite the weather. It gave baby T his first chance to see the sea - after he slept through it the last time - and let Cooper stretch his legs and run off-leash. We left the baby bag in the car and wore baby in his carrier, so I made sure to take a handbag with me this time to have somewhere to store my camera and phone as we walked. Didn't want to make the same mistake as the day before! A cute little clutch was all I needed for the essentials.
The boots seemed like a good idea that morning to keep my feet dry and warm as we walked along the sand, as it was much too cold to go for a dip. We ended up walking in a lot of muddy and wet sand as the tide was out though, so leather boots were not the best choice. My feet stayed dry, but the boots look a little worse for wear! There are one or two days a year I wish I had Wellington boots, this was one of those days.
As this is the second wear of the grey tee from my August purchases and I'm trying to review what I buy, the final verdict:
I love this tee. I've only worn it with denim so far, but I know from experience that it pairs well with skirts too. Having this tee in other colours meant this purchase was always going to be a keeper, and something I knew I would wear. I'm really pleased I could score it on sale, as it's always been sold out in my size every time I've seen it previously. Very pleased with this purchase! I've actually worn it more often than I've taken photos of it, such a good tee.
Last worn: Wayfarers (see above), cropped trench coat, grey oversize tee, skinny jeans, Asos Cleo boots, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.
