Be comfortable in your own skin

Be comfortable in your own skin

You don’t have to look frumpy or less feminine because you become a mum. Sure I have special outfits for my inevitable endometriosis bloating but on the good days I like to show my daughter that I am still young at heart and to wear clothes which exude confidence.  Dress to impress.

Three styles of mummy:

Chic – blazers dressed with jeans/ leggings or leather trousers. Paired with trainers or ballet pumps (versatile and comfortable).

Formal – gorgeous dresses paired with heels/ boots and even trainers (did I whisper that).

I am very much on trend with the “Golden Goose” glitter styled trainers (a nod to my former obsession with dancing). I cried when I opened the box on Christmas Day. My husband just wants me to be happy. Don’t worry he would never buy full price. He insists they were too much of a bargain to miss. He’s incredible at grabbing fashion bargains. Taught me a lot over the years.

These are incredibly comfortable and easy to wear (and versatile) when you have children. You never feel out of place/ out of style. I love the sparkles on mine and each pair are individually made. I still adore converse or wellies though and wear those most days. Partly because you don’t feel guilty about wearing them in muddy conditions. Great for a date afternoon without the need to wear heels if you’re tired or feeling sore.

Casual – denim skirts / T-shirts or casual shirts. Old favourites- Joules or Lipsy. Loving these summer trousers by Lipsy, and these look fantastic on the beach or could be dressed with a shirt or turtle neck sweater for the office.

I am an #endometriosiswarrior and an #adenomyosiswarrior💜. 

Let’s raise awareness and compassion for all women afflicted by these diseases. The struggles are real but I hope to bring you some #NewJoy by sharing my story. I challenge you to think of what makes you happy in life and keep being #strongwomen especially if you have entered a transition phase of your life. This is even more important as I watch my own daughter grow up and hope she does not suffer the same issues I faced. 

In summary,
