Before and after dog mum

Hi

looking for some advice, really.

We got a puppy. Love her to the moon and back. She’s 2 years old now and my fashion sense has disappeared.
i still get “dressed” for work but at the weekend I now wear jeans and a top, muddy boots, a waterproof. Dog walking clothes because my primary aim is to walk and have fun with my dog.
Our social life has changed massively . It’s less bougie restaurants / cocktails and now dog friendly pubs. I feel a bit of a slob. Literally lumbering along in jeans, a half zip fleece and nasty shoes. I’m just plodding along. I need a more glamour / trendy / put together wardrobe for dog walking. Any ideas?

Dog mum?

Why worry, I have a separate jacket and boots for dog walking. I change my jeggings /jeans when I get in from the walk, it takes minutes. A good knee length warm waterproof coat is all you need this weather and some waterproof boots.
Best part of my day is a walk with my canine friends!

My dog died - that solved it. Brutal, heartbreaking and I don't recommend it. But I am wearing wool coats and nice shoes - I'd rather have my dog though.
