Caryn Franklin
Working mums rarely have time to indulge in retail therapy so Caryn Franklin shows 3 busy mothers how to get a simple wardrobe that works from the school gates to the office and then out on that rare night out with the girls.
A recent survey has shown 81% of working women experience frustrating ‘dead time’, (averaging over half an hour a day) where they feel stuck inbetween work and leisure and are unable to make the most of either. Almost two thirds of women wish they could use this for some much needed ‘me’ time while another fifth wish they could use this dead time to get some more work done in order to fully relax.
Whatever you want to do to transform your dead time, you need the wardrobe and the tools to make the most of it. The BBC Clothes Show’s Caryn Franklin has taken the three lucky winners of a national competition held in association with Vodafone and given them just that. Incorporating workwear that fits equally well for that drink after work and allowing their outfits to reflect the increasingly blurring lines between ‘work’ & ‘life ‘
But it’s not just about shoes, bags and make-up – the latest tools to keep you in touch and on the pulse are vital life accessories that can kill off ‘dead-time’ and make a look work through the whole day wherever you are.
