Your girls are adorable and SO blessed they have your beautiful blue eyes </p> <p>Gotta love your 'wet' expression - it says it all I hope you dried off nicely because you looked VERY stylish in #1. Not terribly summery, but totally fitting for back-to-school.</p> <p>I hope everything goes well for Teah (and you!) this year - it's a big milestone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-very-british-summers-day#post-697021 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 16:28:56 +0000 Scarlet 697021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, but I do love your outfit!

So happy for you on this big step and totally understand being a puddle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-very-british-summers-day#post-696690 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 23:09:56 +0000 tarzy 696690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfit! (And I'm so longing for rain right now.) Good luck with this new chapter in life for both you and Teah! (I remember when you first talked about getting her diagnosed - you've handled everything incredibly well! My nephew has Asperger's and has been mainstreamed since the start.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-very-british-summers-day#post-696537 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 18:52:22 +0000 Echo 696537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfit, and I am envious that you were able to wear tights in August. I have a son with PDD-NOS, and I am so thrilled to hear that Teah is attending a mainstream school. I very much hope that her school year is exciting and happy and successful. She looks absolutely beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-very-british-summers-day#post-696517 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 18:34:06 +0000 annagybe 696517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! Best of luck to Teah in school. I knew someone with Autism, he's a successful echo tech (ultrasound of the heart) now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-very-british-summers-day#post-696515 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 18:31:50 +0000 Louise 696515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahhh the wonders of a British Summer!! Congrats to Teah. You're definitely up there in the yummy mummy stakes x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-very-british-summers-day#post-696457 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 16:48:29 +0000 Beth Ann 696457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah yes, the well-timed downpour! Well, your outfit is wonderfully modern, but still casual. I particularly like the long jacket over shorter dress proportion. </p> <p>As for sending your beautiful dd to school --- It is a mother's task to nurture and grow her children, and sometimes it is excruciatingly difficult. Here's to a terrific first year in school for Teah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-very-british-summers-day#post-696435 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 16:29:28 +0000 Jonesy 696435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing, even after the torrential rain :)! </p> <p>Fall heading back to school is bittersweet always. How thrilling (and intense for you!) that Teah is entering a mainstream school. I hope it goes as smoothly as possible.</p> <p>Such adorableness!! Truly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-very-british-summers-day#post-696318 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 14:48:27 +0000 Queen Mum 696318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fabulous outfit!

Aren't your cherubs lucky to have matching pairs :). Teah is so cute I can't stand it. </p> <p>Your puddle-toughness is what makes you so special. Beautiful inside and out. I say you were bang on the money with your tough Mummy elegant look in #1, with just the right amount of glam :)</p> <p>High five 20 eyelet Docs sister! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-very-british-summers-day#post-696297 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 14:30:54 +0000 Gaylene 696297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Was the rain there to reinforce the puddle we feel inside when our kids start to grow up? But you look fantastic either way--and so does your daughter. Such cute pictures; seems like they go from babies to little girls to big girls who are ready to spend their days away from us in the blink of an eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-very-british-summers-day#post-696254 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 13:39:08 +0000 marianna 696254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are beautiful, Julie.

Mommy meets Rock Star! Sorry about the rain, but you still look fab - you have the most gorgeous eyes.</p> <p>What a big day for your daughter, and you too of course! And it's more than ok to be tough as a puddle. I see your daughter has inherited her mommy's good looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-very-british-summers-day#post-696215 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 11:55:08 +0000 Suz 696215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julie, you look like a downright GLAMOROUS mummy in photo #1. Lovely combo - a toned down version of Angie's blue and orange in a way! </p> <p>Congratulations to you AND your daughter. Going to school is such a big step, for anyone, and more so for anyone on the spectrum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-very-british-summers-day#post-696200 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 11:15:52 +0000 ramya 696200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are a strong and cute mummy :)<br /> Love and hugs... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-very-british-summers-day#post-696196 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 10:41:41 +0000 Deborah 696196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even after a drenching you look better than most Congratulations to Teah. My 9 year old son has two children with Autism in his class (at a mainstream school) and they are awesome kids. One of them has become a really close friend. The school is absolutely incredible in terms of the lengths they go to develop strategies for both boys so that it all works for everyone. Your daughter is just gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-very-british-summers-day#post-696194 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 10:04:37 +0000 Mona 696194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>tough as a puddle! that is just like me when it comes to kids. Your daughter is so cute. Congratulations to all of you for her starting the mainstream school! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-very-british-summers-day#post-696174 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 08:44:06 +0000 RoseandJoan 696174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(My apologies in advance to those of you who are suffering with intolerable heat.)</p> <p>This has been a very special week for the family as my eldest daughter Teah, who has autism, started mainstream school. A very mixed bag of emotions has followed which led to the realisation that I am in fact about as tough as a puddle.</p> <p>But anyhow back to fashion. It is August is the northern hemisphere and yet today I was wearing 20i docs, opaque tights and a blazer. I was trying to channel the yummy mummy look but the skys parted and dumped what felt like a tonne of water on my head *sigh*</p> <p>So here for your amusement is the before, the after and the cute.</p> <p>Thank you very much for taking the time to read my rambles. </p>
