With the summer almost over and back to school looming, I am knee deep in name tagging and sorting two kids back to school. However, I have managed to put together a good summer wardrobe which translates well into the new season.
Dressing up for the school run is not about trying to be a catwalk queen on a daily basis, its about starting the day by making a little time and effort for you. Even if you don't have time in the morning, plan it a little the night before - it's something that only takes minutes not hours.
So here are my top ideas for looking good on the school run:
1. Comfortable and stylish footwear is a must my choice this season is going to be : boots from marks and spencer for colder days, Superga for dry autumn days and birkenstock for the mini heatwave.
2. Trousers - gorgeous relaxed jeans available from Zara, stylish joggers from Gap, patterned look trousers from Topshop
3. Button up shirts are always good, BUT wear them in the right way and add jewellery to give them a more feminine touch. We also love sweat tops and we think they look nicer with a collar. Denim (the one below from Current Elliot is a keeper) shirts are also back in for the season with oversize working well. We particularly love the new tartan look clashed with a leopard scarf.
4. Get a good school coat, duffle coats are everywhere, starting with Marks and Spencer and Topshop.

5. A blazer smartens everything and can quickly transform a casual outfit especially if your heading out after you have dropped the kids. This one is a relaxed checked one from River Island - fab with black or blue jeans.
6. A white soft shirt is always a winner and one like this works well. Don't try and let the shirt work for itself - keep the look effortless but add simple jewellery and a belt to give it a chic finish. This one below is Theory and currently reduced on the Outnet.
Enjoy the start of the new term looking and feeling good.
