With the weather being as hot as it has been these past few months and my growing belly, I’ve been struggling to find clothes that are not only comfortable but are weather appropriate and fit well. I’ve spent much of the summer in long baggy vest tops and leggings or long floaty maxi dresses and it seems like my wardrobe has been on a constant repeat.
Now that we are heading into the cooler seasons, I am still finding that I can get quite hot and I have been looking for some clothes to last me through the next few months. I have of course stocked up on leggings and loose fitting tees but I’m also considering opting for some white linen pants to keep me cool and comfortable, whatever the weather.
It can be so difficult to dress for the weather whilst also remaining completely comfortable. When the heat cooled the other day, I wore a woolly jumper as it was bitterly cold yet by the evening I was regretting my decision as it had suddenly become increasingly humid again!
Its been a while since I’ve been clothes shopping properly. Now Jack is at school full time, it has enabled me to have time around other commitments to actually head to my local shopping centre and actually see what items there are around. What has helped has been the fact that both Steve and my Mum have also had some holiday from work to use up so have come with me and helped me decide on what actually suits me and what is actually practical in the grand scheme of things. To feel comfortable for the next few months I definitely need comfy bottoms – so leggings and linen trousers are a must. Some loose fitting t-shirts are also always useful and a good jumper or two as the winter months draw in obviously.
But with so much choice out there, it can be difficult to choose for both practicality and what is suitable; I’ve almost come home with a cute little dress recently just because it was 1) cute and 2) discounted yet it neither suited me or was going to be comfortable or appropriate for the upcoming seasons – hence why it was discounted!
