My main words for the day. I mentioned the T word on my stories today; therapy. I’m having some (EMDR to be precise) and it’s been one of the best things I’ve done. I’m of course extremely privileged to be able to do it (albeit on a credit card for now) but it’s been priceless in terms of me moving forward in every aspect of my life if I’m honest. I was reminded today by a good friend on here how bizarre it is that we visit the dentist twice a year to look after our teeth yet have to be at rock bottom to give our brain a good MOT 🤷‍♀️

The truth is, a bubble bath is great, but it won’t unravel the more complex things that have happened outside of my control. Furthermore, the understanding of how complex we are and acceptance of that is a big stepping stone. You can be dancing to Backstreet Boys one minute and in a whole other world the next. You only need to think of the likes of Robin Williams to know that (not trying to compare myself to one of life’s great there but I do do a great impression of a hotdog) 🤷‍♀️ Seriously though, you can be fully functioning in the outside world and still stuck in the in between. We are never just one thing. It’s important to recognise that in ourselves and in others around us. The realisation that therapy is self care of the highest form is a frickin’ revelation if I’m honest so I’m here to share it with you ✨

My Month with Very

August has flown around hasn’t it? I can’t quite believe that next week is the beginning of the new academic year already. I don’t know about you but I am ready for a little routine now. The summer holidays have been great fun, but September always brings a fresh new energy for me. I don’t know if that’s the same for all or just because I’ve worked in teaching all my life. Either way, I’m feeling refreshed and craving some structure.

I love the first few weeks back to school. September (and often October) brings sunshine these days so I feel like my summer wardrobe extends that extra bit. For that reason I picked a few summer pieces this month that I know will last into the little extended summer we get as we head into autumn.

This outfit brings me all the happiness. I’m a sucker for a simple classic look that gives all the practicality needed for looking after the kids but that doesn’t leave me feeling mumsy. These distressed mom jeans are just perfect. Slouchy and soft but nothing drab in sight. They are perfect for those with a curvier leg (I have never been blessed with supermodel legs being a dancer) and it’s one of the few pairs I own that don’t hug my calves! I went for a 10 which is my usual jean size and they are roomy.

    Birkenstocks Very.co.uk
  • White Blouse Very.co.uk

The white floaty blouse just brings a bit of fem to the look, and the little embroidered flowers add some detail to rescue it from being ‘another plain white top’.

My more fancy picks this month were this sequin top (which I’ve worn out twice this month) and the maxi skirt of dreams.

  • Fred’s shirt Very.co.uk
  • Sequin Top Very.co.uk

I figured the sequin top would see me through the whole of summer and winter, acting as banging festival attire now and the perfect Christmas bit of glamour later in the year. It’s also an absolute bargain at just £20!

Maxi skirts are a dream for girls who don’t always like wearing jeans. I love wearing them with trainers and a sweatshirt. I find them comfy and long enough to lunge around picking up after everyone (my life brings all the glamour huh?). The UK likes to tease us with blistering heat one minute and cloudy skies the next and maxi’s are are really versatile item to cover all bases. I know I’m going to live in this beauty.

Finally, I invested in a pair of decent sunglasses for the first time in my life. I am the worst for owning pairs that cost about £8 and then scratching them to the point I can’t wear them or finding the screws fall out and I’m off our buying another pair! I suit a more cat eye shape and went for these bad boys. Never felt more demure in my life guys!

My brain’s feeling like overcooked spaghetti fro My brain’s feeling like overcooked spaghetti from two long days glued to a screen. I’m definitely an active worker! I think the wheels are in motion for our second trip of the year, the perfect excuse being Mr Murphy turning 41 (🤫 he’s still pretending he’s 39). For us to travel it has to be budget, so it’s been my mission to find affordable ways to travel with little ratbag in tow. With a bit of luck I might just get us away for a short break abroad for £100 each🤞Wish me luck! Any destinations you fancy on a budget?
