I am a sahm, spend most of my day either dog walking, riding or on the school run (obviously with all the home based crap like laundry, tidying, beds etc) with the odd coffee/lunch with friends thrown in. Most of the time I just chuck on a pair of jeans and a jumper which I’m comfortable in, BUT I keep buying dresses and pretty tops. I have this vision that I’ll wear my dresses etc day to day - they aren’t fancy sparkly ones, just cord pinafores/ floral dresses to wear with tights and flat boots/DMs, but I feel self conscious at the idea of ‘dressing up for the school run’ when the sad reality is that I don’t go to many other places that don’t involve mud and animal hair 🙄🙈. But I want to wear my nice things! How can I change my mindset so that dresses/skirts feel more normal? Or how can I hold myself back from the pretty things and focus on the practical things I would actually wear rather than the ones I imagine myself wearing?
