New Baby, New Wardrobe...
Published on Wednesday 30th April 2008
I’m back to work now after a long break. Well it's been kind of a break; I’ve been working away in the background as and when my new little man (baby Ralf, born 11 February) allows me.
With my baby came a change in body shape. I've had to kiss goodbye to my small waist (hopefully temporary) and all things fitted and embrace a more flowing style of dressing.
Thankfully my personal shopping from Brittique hasn't been too hard. I'm just lusting after everything from Emma Cook .
 The drop waisted, striped denim pinafore will be perfect for this tween season over a little tee and topped by a cardigan and then without as it gets warmer.
The cotton voile blouse is stunning too and will hide the last of the baby blub!
Pushing or carrying around a baby also means a rethink in footwear. Heels are completely out and replaced by comfortable, study, flats.
Jenne O offers some cute little flip flops with ribbons that wrap around the ankle but it’s not quite warm enough for those yet so some pretty Miu Miu embellished ballet slippers (pictured left) are versatile enough for many outfits.
Now all I need to do is find some extra large scarves to cover up the patches of puke my darling leaves me after each feed.
