Boden? They have waterproof macs and hats. Or the highstreet stores - where do you live you might be able to do a personal shopping day and get some ideas there

You're only picking your DD up from school - why are you worrying about what to wear?!

AbbeyA · 02/09/2008 20:36

I obviously missed out-I never realised people had to have an image!

You seriously need a back to school wardrobe? You and Cod would get on famously!

not worrying, just what to wear to face the elements. only walk anywhere now in fine weather as i now have a car. just outerwear advice really.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to look smart even though it may be "only the school run". Why do people have to be snappy about that?

I usually wear dark denims, converse or similar, a belted Gap trench, and an Orla Keily rain hat when needed. When it's colder I swap the trench for a black padded knee lenght coat, which is also belted, and a black furry cossack style hat. Don't foget gloves!

Hope your dd enjoys school

Welcome - you are starting on your journey through Middle-Classicism in the Schoolyard. It is truly a new era of your life.

I would seek out some independent and pricy boutiques. The really trendy mums who are oozing of style dont necessarily wear Boden.

I just bought some funky patterned wellies - they might be a bit naff but better than my muddy gardening ones and I am determined to walk not resort to the car at the merest hint of drizzle. (My DD starts tomorrow!).
I also have a Boden mac. Need a rainhat though.

Mine is skinny jeans, uggs and fab 'perfect coat that everyone has been searching for' from Primarni.

Good macs and rainhats are notoriously hard to find, there are zillions of threads on this if you search the archives. Deffo a business opportunity.
