So, whether you're doing the school run or not, we've got straightforward advice will help you look effortlessly stylish while staying true to you and your lifestyle.

THE MAGIC OF A CAPSULE WARDROBE

Melissa's first golden rule for school run style is to create a capsule wardrobe that mixes and matches. This concept is a game-changer when it comes to efficiency and getting dressed in the morning. Instead of staring at a wardrobe full of clothes and feeling overwhelmed, you'll have a curated collection of versatile pieces that you can easily put together. quality over quantity is important here. A well-organised capsule wardrobe simplifies your daily choices and ensures that you always have stylish outfits at your fingertips

REAL LIFE vs FANTASY LIFE

Remember to dress for the life you're living now, not the one you used to have or the fantasy life you think you should be living - it's so easy to get swept away with what we see on social media, isn't it? Choose clothing that suits your current activities, whether it's chasing after kids, attending meetings, or managing a busy household. It's about finding a balance between comfort and style, and that's where true fashion confidence lies.

EMBRACE YOUR SHAPE AND SIZE

Again, give yourself a reality check. Melissa always emphasises the importance of dressing for the shape you are now, not the one you used to be or would like to be. It will only make you feel sad and frustrated to have a wardrobe full of clothes you can't wear. Our bodies change, and that's perfectly okay, it's a part of life. When you dress in a way that suits your current figure, you'll instantly feel more confident and comfortable. Forget unrealistic beauty standards – your style should be about you! This isn't about conforming to societal expectations but rather celebrating your individuality. Find clothes that flatter your body as it is today and you'll feel amazing. We guarantee it!

Melissa's school run style tips are foolproof and ideal for anyone juggling a busy lifestyle.
