What to wear to a Garden Centre - Chic & Stylish Linkup.

Hello and welcome to Mummabstylish. 
How are you all on the 2nd July?

I can’t believe how fast this year is going. I think it’s because I’m so busy with wedding planning, Airbnb work and going to the gym along with family life. It’s never a boring day at Mummabstylish’s house!

David is back from the stag weekend in Tenerife. They all had a good time and everything went smoothly - phew. It’ll soon be the hens turn, woohoo! We’re visiting Salou in Spain, and I’m getting very excited now. The outfits are coming together and I plan to add each one to a packing cube so I’ll know exactly where they are in the case. I’ll be sharing a case, so it’ll make life easier for whoever gets the short straw! ( I like to take a lot with me. 😬)

Items marked with * have been gifted to me, however these are 100% my own honest comments. 


I’ve had empty garden pots hanging around so decided to head over to the garden centre to get some flowers and plants to fill them with. Sophie came with me and we came home with lighter pockets and a full car boot. We set about planing them up when we got home, and all four look great. I’ve used some traditional plants - some of which are trailing flowers and the others are bushy plants that should hopefully fill out nicely and look good in due course. 

It was boiling under the plastic roofing, but fortunately my hair stayed in place. I usually have sweat dripping off me and end up scraping my hair into a pony tail so it’s away from my face. It’s been a tad cooler recently, so fortunately wasn’t a problem for me. I wore this outfit, which was based around my cool white cotton skirt. This is from Primark as is the knitted top. It looked fab together, especially with my dolly shoes. 
I love this style of top and feel it’s very complimentary. Plus I hate my neck, so any opportunity to hide it I’m all for it. This little knit wears and washes nicely and doesn’t look out of place with a more dressed up feel. It’s got kinda an embossed pattern all over it, which stands out over the classic knit. 


I have a lovely selection of bags from Elie Beaumont. This handkerchief tote,* which is from the Serendipity range, is going to be super on holiday as it holds lots and it’s very lightweight. The pretty turquoise colour looks nice with white and the yellow top finishes off the mix with an interesting finish. 


Plus points of this skirt are the full voluminous vibe which has a half elastic waist which is so comfy, it’s also a good length - cool to wear and still elevated. It’s got pockets too, they suit me nicely and they’re handy for when I need to store bits like tissues, keys or my phone!


I opted for dolly shoes rather than sandals. My feet have been needing more support recently so this style of footwear is good for my toes. I got them from Vinted, they’re actually from H&M and really do need replacing- my toes are nearly poking out the side! 😵‍💫


I’m
loving the smaller glass frames that are trending now. Goodlookers have a great selection of sunglasses and glasses and this pair called Mimi * are very flattering and so in fashion now. Priced at £26, the polarised pair tick all the fashion boxes, so much so my daughter has got her eye on them!
