stripes maxi dress, green top, Crocs shoes, Balenciaga city

stripe maxi dress: Primark

top: (bought in Taiwan) 

bag: Balenciaga violet city

shoes: Crocs

Had a day off for a hospital appointment. as Baby D still goes to nursery, I decided to wear something I don't normally wear when I am on mummy duty. (Baby D basically wiped everything on me, so I tend to not wear white base colour around him these days.

I like how I have the green top on top of the dress, and how layers work. I wonder if I have other items in my wardrobe that could create similar/different looks - Remixing items is what I hope to achieve in following other bloggers and documenting 'what I wore today'. Hopefully this is the beginning.

And I used a different colour belt today from last time.

Maxi dress, Real Mum Style

dress: Primark

bag: CiPU Jumbo CT Bag (similar)

shoes: Dorothy Perkins

parka: (bought on eBay)

Today is Baby D's first birthday! Happy Birthday my little baby! 

'Real Mum Style' for me is something super functional, and I would normally go for a oversize tee with a pair of jeggings. Since the discovery of maxi dress on Friday, I knew it would be a good choice to wear on Baby D's birthday party. And I wish I had tried on some maxi dress a lot earlier during my maternity leave as they would have been great for a trying-to-look stylish, or decent, staying home mum.

In case you didn't notice, we three are wearing black-white matching style..... 

Anyway, I think I would probably keep this maxi dress for casual wear than for work in the future.

[outfit]

This is my first time ever, trying on a maxi dress! And, because I don't know whether this style will suit me or not, I bought a second-hand one on eBay for the experiment.  

I'd normally like to wear something more formal when I am teaching. Although today is one of those occasions, I just cannot wait to wear my first maxi dress and get a feeling of what it is like to have it on all day. 

It feels very good, like every inch of my skin is breathing, and I don't need to worry about big wind as well.  But, I am not sure if I will wear it again when I am teaching. Even if I do, I will certainly have it on with a different pair of shoes, something more leathery or with heels for formal occasions, and with a different blazer too.  

It is a very comfortable outfit, especially going to work with my personal driver, aka hubby. AI feel each inch of my skin is breathing.... But, I think it is too casual for teaching, especially when I had to take off the blazer because of the stiff room temperature. And it will not be a good choice if I have to commute on public transport, especially not with a pram!
