Also, I just realised those grey ones are Superga. I ordered the ones in yellow. Loved them but they were too loose on me so sadly have returned them.

I'm going to experiment with different looks because I've lost lots of weight over the last year and have no idea what suits me now..

Where do middle aged, smart casual dressers shop? oh dear God if anyone knows the answer then please share. I have some money to spend but I keep coming away from the shops completely disheartened and empty-handed.

Not a makeover, as such, but I'm expecting it to be a bit of a challenge, style-wise. I'm about to have my first baby, so I'm trying not to put too much pressure on myself looks-wise, but otoh I'm desperate to feel like me again.

The term "mum style" usually gets a bashing on MN for the clearly mother-bashing overtones, but I've started to see where it comes from. I've been unable to wear any non-flat shoes since I was 4 months. Maternity clothes at a price point I can afford seem to be entirely skinny jeans and Breton tops. It's like I'm pregnant in 2009.

I haven't made any firm decisions about how baby will be fed yet, and I just don't know what recovery from birth will be like, when/how much I'll be able to exercise again, when/if/how much weight I lose etc., so I don't know what shape I'll be, whether dresses will be a goer, whether all tops will have to be accessible. I did buy a couple of things in the January sale to look forward to wearing later but that was probably stupid 🙈

DH got me a lovely handbag for a Christmas, bless him.
