I've just gotten in to Ohio from Scotland so apologies if this post makes little to no sense. I got my passport back on Saturday and booked flights back the same day. After three different delays I'm here! Unfortunately Blondie Boy and NotBlondeHusband couldn't come with me but I'm looking forward to spending time with my family.
A few weeks ago I took part in a photoshoot for Fabulous Magazine for "School Yard Chic" I had two outfits; first an amazing Rebecca Torres dress:

Oasis Black Leather Jacket
Cybher Satchel
Chelsea Skull Scarf
New Look Black Ankle Boots
I loved this body con, colour blocked dress but I think maybe the editors thought it was too dressy for the school run (to be fair the only time I'm not in sweats for the school run is when I have meetings so I am dressed up!) so they went with my second look:

To be fair I wear the hell out of this dress. I freaking love it and have worn it numerous times so it is a fairly good representation of my style.

What do you wear when you take your children to school? Did this post make any sense? I'm pretty sure I've been up for almost 24 hours!

Post made sense to me. Love that you had a photo shoot of what you wear to school drop off. I would love to do that at our school. Since I run to work after drop off my outfits tend to be more dressy. Well not dressy. My work is not dressy. It is just work wear. Heels may be involved.
And yes you do wear the heck out of that dress :)
Too bad they didn't use that photo! I am mostly in a dress & heels when I picked up Alexandra from elementary school last year. Looks like a blast with the othe mums!

I totally have to stop myself from "booty touching". I didn't even know I did it until I started taking more photos and I actually took Tyras advice and pulled back and am "semi" happy with my pics now! There is something so uncomfortable about having my picture made. :) I love the 2nd dress btw!!

Love that Cynthia Rowley dress! It's a great shape and pattern. Of course they both look good. Black with skulls and hot pink is pretty awesome! The shoot sounds fun!
Love both those looks! Thanks for hosting the link party!!

Love the black leather jacket and dress combo - hot! :)
You mommies are looking fab! I love your second outfit though. Sweet and girly. Ahhh...the mommy duties! I have yet to discover what it would be like taking your kid to school. We're planning on putting our little one on pre-K next year! I'd probably be wearing sweatpants. :) eehhh...
I love that body con dress. You look awesome in it! But, you're right, you seem to wear that other dress a lot so it really shows off your personal style. And the post made total sense...haha.

Gotta love pink and black!
You ever have one of those posts where you are just like...umm I have no idea if this is even vaguely coherent or not?
To be fair most days I am in sweats unless I have a meeting!
Thanks! Rebecca Torres designs are hot :)
Of course x
Thanks Megan!
Thanks Lindsay! Ohio is COLD!
Thanks Robin! I get so much wear out of these boots; I originally bought them for the MADS last year!
Thanks Harmony :)
It was fun pretending to be a model for a day :)
Don't be too jealous Rachel :) Hooray for a fellow feminist!
Thanks! It is def. a very flattering skirt :)
Thanks Elena it was a good time :)
I think you are right Kym; at the time I felt really confident in the other dress but I think that was down to the photographer--looking at the shots the CR dress is way more flattering.
Yea I'm not the only toucher! ;)
To be fair the CR dress is more flattering :)
Thanks Margaret :) I tend to either be dressy/business casual whatever or in a hoodie and sweats lol.
You look fantastic!! I love that bright pink stripe on your dress!
