We know what you're thinking, who has the time to care about looking good at the school gates, you just about have the time to get the kids up, ready and looking presentable...
What if we told you it's actually possible to have you and kids looking good all before 8.30am. Just take note from these ladies who look chic, while putting in zero effort.
Maxi's
Maxi's are always a good idea. Whether it's a skirt or a dress, maxi's cover all sorts of sins, are super easy to wear, and can even be worn with trainers. This look works great for the beginning of term, when it's not freezing out yet. Just add a leather jacket or a slouchy jumper to complete the look.

Statement Jacket
Do you know what's great about a good statement jacket? You can do it up and no one needs to know what you've got on underneath. Seriously, if you only buy one thing this new term, make sure this is it. To really stand out from the crowd be sure to go for a bold colour or a printed jacket. The other mummies will see you coming from a mile off...in a good way, obviously.
