Confidence crisis...spring school run style

[grassnotgreener005]

Before anyone says just wear what you feel like on the school run, I have had a very rough few months which has left my confidence in tatters... The school run still intimidates the hell out of me, the mums are so stylish & groomed & tend to be very cliquey. Since September I've been hiding behind my coat & boots but now that's spring is here I want to look stylish & groomed & feel like I fit in. Don't know where to start but I'm looking to look casual. trendy & groomed. I have a good figure size 10 so most things look ok on me, I just don't know where to start...

Watching with interest...

Sunglasses.

I find it easier to style from the shoesdown because i struggle to find stylish comfortable shoes and i walk or cycle everywhere.
Depends on style and budget the usuals are good.. hush uniqlo asos topshop boden

Ahahaha jesus i meant from the shoes up.

Good raincoat and sunglasses, brogues or loafers?
Im not very stylish though, today I'm wearing rainbow striped high tops and a slouchy jumper. I try to help stylish but get bored and want quirky things.

We walk alot also, new trainers are on the shopping list

How about silk blouse and vest camisole under, long cardigan and 7/8 trousers or turn up jeans?

Long cardi & silk blouse sounds good, I still haven't embraced the 7/8 trousers or turn ups, love my skinnies too much!

I think a long length lightweight coat/jacket. Something showerproof if you're on foot. Alternatively a coatigan like this - next

A classic trench coat and great sunglasses

What about a great blazer?

You can get the skinny version of 7/8 if that's what you like. They look way better with trainers/loafers/brogues for the spring.
