I was in such a rush this morning to get the kids to their respective carers for the day that I didn't have time to get ready! Horrific! No make up, nothing.
I chucked on a trackie and trainers and off we skiddadled.
En route, my toddler asked "going running mummy?"
"Yes darling!" I lied, whilst my teenager sniggered.
Boy, has that little fella got some things to learn about mummy!
Once back home I had a little more time to get 'officially' ready for work. The sun was shining for a change, so I decided to eek out some wear in a summer dress. I thought the colours could lend themselves to an autumnal look.
The brown courdroy blazer was the only 'new' purchase, £3, thrifted from a charity shop in Bury St Edmunds. Coolio.
I also had a little play with a new foundation. 'Minerals' from L'Oreal. It's a powder foundation that claims flawless coverage. And the result... Yea, I quite liked it. (how's that for a product review?).
I didn't really have time to give it a fair try, just a bit of dabbing on the face and back of the hand mainly. 10,000 years BC (before children) I would have spent hours playing with this, perfecting using it, but those days are long gone... Now I just make do with a tidemarked face and lying to my two year old son about my keep fit regime (or lack of it!).
ps. Don't forget to enter my second sweetie giveaway, you gotta be innit to winnit...

You OWN a trackie and trainers!!!! Nah, must be reading the wrong blog..... Nice look by the way.
Bury clearly has some very hip charity shops! You look fun and very autumn-appropriate.
I really like this outfit. Your tights are really nice and I think the yellow shoes adds a nice touch to the whole outfit. And you look beautiful without makeup.
