Something New

One of my resolutions this year has been to work on my relationship with ME. Part of that relationship is getting back to the things I've put on the back burner since pregnancy/Baby C and house took over my life = dedicating time and budget to clothes.

 

Yes, self indulgent and kinda selfish and all that. But you need to know something about me. I drew outfits since the age of 9-ish. I used to spend my days dreaming up things to wear (instead of room design) well before I remember myself. I used to make my own clothes and considered fashion design as a career. This creative process is in my blood and I've been denying it for way too long.

 

So, some days I'll be talking about fashion. I've debated doing this for a while. Doing it here on the blog, or starting something separate. But the thing is, this blog here is called "styleING with children" and whether that's interior design, renos, party decor or clothes it is all style, it is all self expression and all of it is happening with a little one around.

So, the images. This spring/summer will be the time for deep saturated colours on the bottom, especially pants/jeans. Not a good look for me as my bottom is on the larger side. SO, to stay with the trend, and because I LOVE it, I found a few inspiration images of work appropriate bottoms that are less about tight spandex and more about italian cool. Something everyone can pull off.

 

Note: loose, falling away at the hips trousers, predominance of black and white on top, a showstopper necklace and a calm and controlled bag.

 

Something to keep in mind when shopping/dressing for spring.

 

Hope you enjoy this little addition to the blog. I'm still 100% commited to interior design, after all we still have 85% of the house to reno. But I thought these little fashion posts would be a nice way to let you guys in a bit more into my world.

 

PS. images are from pinterest, board name "holy chic", but I lost the actual link. Sorry!
