A glorious British summer is just around the corner (we hope). What with the prospect of some sunshine, enjoying ice creams in the park and trips out to the seaside, there also comes the stress of dressing kids for summer….
N’s feet have finally grown. His school shoes still fit ok but he needed new trainers which are always harder to buy. His insteps aren’t particularly high, he’s an F fitting, but velcro fastenings never seem long enough on trainers…
Children grow so quickly, but when you see them every day, it’s hard to see it until they grow out of their clothes. Or are stood next to someone else’s child and you realise they’ve shot past them in height….
For someone who currently lives in jeans and tops or jumpers outside work, and black trousers and brighter tops in work, a styling event doesn’t sound like somewhere you’d fine me. But last week, I met up with other Oxfordshire…

When we were children, handmedowns were quite normal. Being the eldest with a brother, there wasn’t many of my clothes passed down (apart from maybe jeans because I always had boys jeans for a few years anyway), but I was…
