All the Christmas over-indulging and extra morning napping (thankyou to my wonderful family for looking after the little cookie while I slept in) requires comfort on the clothes front. Bring on a slouchy cashmere jumper (similar here) – yes, half price in the Boxing Day sale! The make is Isle, not one I’ve heard of, but the round-neck style is classic – and bright cosy slippers (a very welcome Xmas present as my previous pair are ragged and full of holes) by Cath Kidston (buy them half price here), not a usual go-to for me, but these work perfectly if the rest of the outfit is understated. The jeans, black skinnies by Zara, are coming to the end of their life sadly. They are so stretchy they saw me through most of my pregnancy and were the first pair I slipped back into afterwards. But the puckering has become too noticeble really… Time to let go. Out with the old and in with the new – the New Year is just around the corner.

ps. A big thankyou to Mr Pudding Pantz for playing the reluctant photographer for this outfit post.
