Mum On The Run: Look For May

As a busy mum, I know the importance of an outfit that transitions seamlessly from school runs to meetings. I am forever flying out the door, having to fit a million things into the school day hours!

This outfit- featuring a tailored waistcoat, high-waisted pleated trousers, a vibrant red jumper, classic Adidas trainers, and a versatile short trench- strikes the perfect balance between comfort and style. Each piece is chosen to ensure you feel confident and put-together throughout your day. It’s all about embracing practicality without compromising on fashion.

 

 

 

Tailored Waistcoat, Marks & Spencer

This M&S tailored waistcoat is the perfect shape and I will be living in it this May. I am forever spilling things on my white sets, so I am loving this black outfit and its versatility. Priced at £25, it’s a stylish and affordable addition to any wardrobe.

 

 

 

Knife Pleat High Waisted Trousers, Marks & Spencer

These high-waisted trousers are a smart mum’s secret weapon: flattering knife pleats, practical pockets, and a polished finish- they are also so comfy! 

 

 

 

Toyko Suede Low-Top Trainers, Adidas

When it comes to trainers my go-to at the moment is Adidas and these Tokyo trainers blend retro style with modern comfort- sleek suede, iconic stripes, and a slim profile make them perfect for stylish mums on the go.

 

 

 

Oversized Short Trench Coat with Long Sleeves, La Redoute

This La Redoute short trench coat is a spring essential, lightweight yet structured, with classic double-breasted styling and a tailored collar. Its cropped cut offers a modern twist on a timeless piece, perfect for layering over May outfits. 

 

 

 

Relaxed Knit Jumper, & Other Stories

When it comes to the weather in May, a jumper is still an essential, and this cropped red jumper from & Other Stories adds a vibrant pop to any outfit.

 

 

 

Leather Phone Pouch, & Other Stories

I am loving this simple leather phone pouch from & Other Stories. It is the perfect size for running around!

 

 

 

ASOS Design Oval Sunglasses in Tort, Asos

I couldn’t believe these ASOS sunglasses when I saw them! What mega dupes they are for a fraction of the price. Super stylish and the tortoise shell means they go with any outfit.

 

 

 

Daisy Ring, Charlotte Chesnais

I just came across this brand and have to say I am loving all their pieces, especially this ring with the mix of gold and silver. Super elegant!

 

 

 

Multi-Charm Key Ring with Purse, Zara

You can’t beat a fun key-ring and I just loved the heart and number 8 ball on this one! Perfect to jazz up any bag.
