I took 3 1/2 weeks off work from Christmas on, and though I'd let you how my clothing went - partly for my own records.

1.Camping trip
We went on our first whole family camping trip, to a river in a national park. I disregarded fashion, didn't shower for the whole time (there were none), didn't even brush my hair! As we say in Australia, I went a bit feral!
I had three main outfits

• pictured. running skirt and top - my main everyday outfit
• long sleeve tee, jeans and polarfleece - for night time - especially useful on the first night when we didn't have sleeping bags!
• bathers - tankini and bottom, with shorts over and a old white blouse for sun coverage. DD got embarrassed about the blouse so I went for a tee sometime instead - this was for going in the river.

2.Staycation!
The rest of the holiday was just at home, going to movies, watching Netflix (we only get it on holiday), taking girls out for mummy dates etc, kneeboarding, beach visits and 2 daughter birthdays.

My summer casual wardrobe from last year really came out to play whenever I left the house

• light blue dress
• chambray top and white skirt
• dark blue dress

but

3.Knicker colour really influenced how often I wore them. I realised I was wearing the dark blue dress sometimes 5 times a week to the point where I was getting a bit sick of it! But if I only had dark knickers left then that's all I could wear.
This confirmed my plan to not buy any more black knickers and only go for nude colour ones. Also keep up with my washing!

Incidentally I have not once worn the white shorts I bought last year, due to

• aforementioned knicker situation
• not having yet bought any tees for summer

However we have 2 to 3 months of summer wear left here in Australia, and while I'm now back at work, I still have 4 days a week to get the CPW down on the white bottoms.

Any comments welcome, though mainly am noting this for my own records, and in case anyone finds it helpful.
