A lot of my recent purchases have been driven by something of a re-imagining of my personal style. For 2020 I attempted to set a style manifesto, and it wasn’t until late in the year that I realised my attempts were futile. I was still figuring out how my personal style fit in with my new identity as a mum, and it’s come with some changes. Mostly subtle, but it has changed how I look at the items I wore pre-pregnancy.
Wearing Aere the Label maxi dress in size AU8
Not exactly breastfeeding-friendly, but this beautiful linen maxi dress is one such purchase. And it’s so good I just had to share it. It’s elegant but breezy. The type of piece you can literally just throw on, and dress down by going barefoot or slipping on some slides, or dress up with some strappy heels. Oh, and did I mention that it’s 100% linen? For anyone curious, yes the white dress is semi-sheer and needs to be worn with skin-toned knickers. And the dress is lined with cotton, so feels really comfortable against your skin.
For reference, I’m wearing the AU8 and would say it fits true to size. I’m 172cm tall and it hits just at the ankle, so if you are shorter than me you may need to get a tailor to take up the length.
And for anyone curious? I decided to only keep the black. Much more practical as a mum, especially when you have grubby little fingers to be wary of!
