Since it's now socially acceptable to live in leggings, thanks to countless lockdowns, I thought I would give you some outfit ideas to seamlessly transition you from work to workout class, lunches to lunges. You can effortlessly achieve all day gym-wear chic with these few tips.
However, last night I went out for a run in the rain and decided to test out how the Mama Life London running jacket holds up. I was not disappointed.
The mesh under the arms created the perfect level of breathability and the long sleeve top I wore underneath didn't even get slightly wet.
Obviously there's no hood on this jacket, but if you're like me and really dislike hoods then that won't be a problem. I always prefer to wear a cap when it rains to keep drops off my face. Whenever I've worn a hood I've had a constant battle of them either falling down or filling up with wind and transforming into an unwanted sail behind me.
In this video I review a selection of running jackets from Nike, Trespass and of course Mama Life London to help give you an idea of the right jacket for you.
I would love to know which you prefer and if you're a keen runner. You can let me know in the video's comments.

It was in the 1920s that the Breton tee became more of a style choice and not just a uniform for french fishermen. Breton tops are now a mark of French fashion chic, and if you haven't seen the Mama Life London YouTube video all about nailing the timeless french style then here it is.

I talk about cool shoes, interesting jewellery, scarves and outerwear that transform simple outfits in the time it takes to make a cuppa.
A wardrobe of the right little extras lets you be more relaxed about the rest of your outfit. For example, your outerwear should never be an afterthought. So many people only see you in your coat—if you're wearing an unexciting outfit underneath your trench, no one will ever even know!
Layer your necklaces. You can do multiples of the same material, or better yet, go for contrast.

]]>So here they are the 5 quick ways us busy mums can add style to an ordinary outift.
]]>There soon comes a point when these fun fashion items can return, but we become so use to living without them that we completely forget about adding these extras back into our outfits.
It’s the little finishing touches that can really make a difference to an outfit and boost our confidence in our clothes. For me, it’s the smaller choices I make. Items that take minutes to add to a really casual outfit but can make my t-shirt and jeans appear more put together and help me to feel better in what I’m wearing.
So here they are the 5 quick ways us busy mums can add style to an ordinary outift.
Add layers of jewellery
Two years ago, I hardly wore any jewellery. Fearing my necklaces would be ripped from my neck and my pendants chewed and snapped in half - this actually happened. Fast forward to my children being aged 3 and 7 and I have rediscovered my love for shiny accessories.
Adding and layering jewellery can really bring my relaxed outfit together. My t-shirt is lifted from an item just thrown on to a finished look.
Wear a scarf
Accessories, whether it’s jewellery or a scarf will boost your style. A scarf is a fantastic way to dip your toes into a new trend. If you like the leopard print look, but don’t feel brave enough to wear a garment in the print, a scarf is an easy and affordable way to add a new season’s rage into your wardrobe.
They’re perfect during the winter and in-between seasons for lifting your style and keeping you warm. If my outfit is basic from top-to-bottom adding a pop of colour or a funky print with a scarf never fails to give my look that little extra something.
If you’re not sure on ways to wear a scarf, have a look at my accessories YouTube video.
Pick out your favourites
Move those saggy jeans and bobbly jumpers to the back of the wardrobe. Or better still, throw them out all together. If you don’t feel confident when you’re wearing them, they’re better off not being there at all. A casual outfit doesn’t have to leave you feeling underdressed. A t-shirt and jeans is such a versatile look that hasn’t gone out of trend since it first came in. Pick out the jeans that make you happy. A great pair of skinny jeans will go with most things in your wardrobe and there are so many styles, colours and price ranges to choose from that you can easily add a slight twist to your casual look.
Put on a small heel
Whether it’s boots or courts, a little heel can take a relaxed style from looking good to looking amazing! I love to wear white trainers with a t-shirt and jeans, but a small heel takes the look up a level.
Boost with a Blazer
Swap the cardigan or zip-up hoodie for a blazer and totally transform your look from scruffy to polished. Blazers that are houndstooth, check or tweed are masters at covering up marks. So your child’s spilt babyccino won’t show up nearly as bad. A bigger, double-breasted blazer also looks awesome over a hoodie.
Belt it up
A belt wrapped around a long cardigan or through your trousers gives you every bit the finished look. Belts are key pieces to have in your wardrobe and are fantastic in terms of cost per wear. A classic leather belt that you will keep for years is worth investing in, but if it’s just a quick passing trend, like a neon or animal print belt, then save your hard earned money for a cheap high street option.
All these little extra items take just minutes to add and will ultimately give a little fun and style to a simple, relaxed outfit, which even the busiest mum can achieve.
What are the favourite pieces in your wardrobe that complete your look? Have you purchased anything new this season that you can’t wait to wear? I always like to hear about what’s new in the shops and fashion tips. I’d love to know if this blog has given you any style inspiration.

There is nothing more time consuming than being a mum, and in the midst of the motherhood grind of school runs, housework, clubs...(the list goes on) we fade from our lives. We lose a sense of our fashion individuality and dress in practical clothes because we're not sure how to dress our new body shape. We lose confidence in our looks and our style. But clothes that are fitted and well cut can be every bit as practical as baggy ones, it's just a question of learning what clothes are right for your body shape.
