Spring pastels

Although you would not realise it with the weather outside (we've had snow this morning!), today is the first day of spring. I'm dreaming of getting my pre-pregnancy size 8 figure back , and the shopping trips to reinvent my wardrobe with New Mummy style.  I know a lot of women like maternity clothes, but I never really got used to my new shape. Despite still being huge and not able to ditch the maternity clothes, I'd love to get some pretty springtime pastels, so here's a few of my picks.

1. Yellow shift dress from Monsoon.

2. Mint rose bracelet from Etsy.

3. Mint necklace from Debenhams.

4. Emerald and Ivory dress from John Lewis.
