Whilst I miss the interactions and daily challenges of my job, I have compiled a list of things/ moments I will gain by taking this huge step, (things which are generally taken for granted)
- My health
- My relationship with hubby
- The random moments spent with my boys i.e.
- A chess game (or any game) here and there
- Watching a movie together during the day (where I am present and not checking emails or taking calls)
- Having lunch together after school and chatting about the school day
- Our extended families
- Being able to attend school events I previously missed
- Having the time to bake an actual cake for birthdays instead of popping to the bakery after work
- The ability to go to gym regularly
- When asked for a special lunchbox meal, it's not a big deal to spend the extra time making it.
I will definitely miss the corporate wear, my stilettos and daily make up routine. But these I can happily shelf until another time. For now, I spend my time in jeans, maxi dresses, skirts and wedges and pumps!
My non-corporate look below features an Asos maxi dress, with a denim shirt worn over it and belted.
I am wearing:
Ralph Lauren maxi (Asos)
Denim shirt by Legend
Belt old
Levi's Wedges
Bracelets: SassDiva, Honey and gifted silver bracelet
Ring: Shimanksy Millenium collection
Necklace: Sass Diva
Ciao for now,

You are so blessed to be able to choose;-) Enjoy your time away from the corporate world. Love your casual look. Love the way you paired your denim shirt with a bright skirt.
ReplyDeleteTrue Desle! That's another thing I am grateful for! As they say all good things come to those who wait ;-)
DeleteA sabbatical sounds blissful! Work can take up so much time and it can spill over into family time. Glad you are enjoying the little things.
ReplyDeleteThanks Catriona! And I'm ashamed to say, when I was working these things were practically non existent or overlooked!
ReplyDeleteI am happy for you - there is so much to be gained by being available to your family on a full-time basis - after all, the kids grow and change so fast - now you can be there to savour every second of it.
ReplyDeleteAnd, from my point of view - now your fashion style will be far more relevant to me as a stay-at-home mum - yay!!! :)
So true! I also find myself shopping less nowadays (I wouldn't have believed it possible!)
DeleteThanks for reading!
