Mums have very little time to themselves at the best of times and the work doesn’t stop once we drop the kids to school.
Whether we’re off to work ourselves, going home to catch up on household tasks or minding our younger kids, a mum’s work day never ends.
So, we all could do with some simple wardrobe staples for those times we have to fly out the door and want to look presentable.
These are six simple items, ideal for the school pick-ups and drop-offs.
1. Dressy jumper
Even if you’re wearing your oldest jeans and scruffy shoes, a cute jumper can lift your whole outfit and distract from everything else.
We love this pretty pink and black one from the V by Very range at Littlewoods. It’ll be perfect with your favourite blue jeans.
