Lord GOD help me!!! I’m a beginner at this. I’ve just released my freshly made, brand new squeaky clean 5 year old into the world of primary school. BUT WHY DIDN’T ANYONE TELL ME HOW SOUL DESTROYING THE SCHOOL RUN WOULD BE!
Four weeks in and we’ve been too early, too late, eaten the contents of our lunch box in the back seat of the car, stripped off our uniform with the heat, fought over the fact that the inside of her school bag resembles the top floor of a Disney store and of course, the obligatory spilling of the school drink all over herself and the other back seat passengers……much to 3rd born’s delight….his introduction to Orange Juice being a swift but refreshing one as it dribbled down from his eyebrows and onto his lips, via his snotty nose. And all this before 9am!
How will I do this for the next 18 years! Well I may not be able to solve most of the aforementioned problems but I’ll do my best to look good trying.
The last thing I need to contend with on this latest addition to my life are heels – I love them but comfort wins out for me. Plus have you ever tried to wrestle an octopus wearing 6 inch stiletto’s? Well I have a 9 month old one that feels like he is covered in butter CONSTANTLY.
So here is a taste of what I wore whilst going into combat doing the school run this week. As you can probably tell already – I’m a big fan of denim!!
Top / Whitefawn Boutique Jeans / Zara Trainers / New Balance 320’s
Boots / Zara Jeans / Zara Jumper / Sandro Gilet / French Connection
Jacket / Karen Millen Jeans / Zara Boots / Converse Belt / Zara Sweater / Maje
Love this!!! sorry to tell you…It won’t get easier but, at least if we read your blog, we’ll all look better doing it!!!
Tee hee thanks Meg! You’ve told me exactly what I was afraid to hear. But hey, as an old lady once said to me ‘you made them so you must look after them!’ Thanks for reading x
Love this – just gorgeous!
welcome to the lovely world of blogging <3

Thanks soooo much Nessa. I hope I survive in here tee hee. There’s a lot to learn but it’s fun once you swallow the fear of doing it. I love yours btw. Been following it for ages x
Just found your blog on the whitefawn Facebook page. Love your style – I’m also a mother of 3 & fight the urge every day to pull on a track suit for the dreaded school run! Thanks for the style inspo!
Thanks so much for your comment Avril! It’s soooooo nice to read it. Oh believe me I’m sure there’ll be plenty of days when that track suit urge gets the better of me and if it does….nevermind eh?! 3 is busy isn’t it?
Omg I love this!!!!!!! Love the blue sneakers! Okay I’m going to have a new trainer addiction because of you!!! X
Teee heeee thanks! I am a sneaker addict currently. What’ll we do when they go back out of fashion. Shudder at the thought. X
