Autumnal Style with Nutmeg

This post features product gifted for review

My girls are both big fans of a dress – there was a time where I had to forewarn Chloe if she was going to need to wear jeans the following day to avoid a dress-based tantrum.  Thankfully we’re a little more relaxed now, however given the choice they’d both pick out a dress any day of the week.  Of course this is all well and good in the summer months when you need little more than a sundress and a pair of sandals however I do find the obsession with dresses a little trickier to manage in the autumn and winter months when the need for sleeves, tights, boots and cardigans arises.  Neither girl is happy with a dress over leggings, that’s just a glorified top then!

This gorgeous little autumnal ensemble is from Nutmeg (for those of you not in the know this is the Morrison’s own brand clothing range launched some four years ago now!)  Amy was thrilled with her new outfit – from the sparkly buttons and frill at the bottom of her mustard yellow cardigan to the dress which absolutely passes the twirl test yet pleases Mummy with it’s long sleeves and high neckline.

I’m continually impressed by the attention to detail in the Nutmeg clothing ranges – their awareness of the need for comfort means they avoid scratchy labels in the necklines,  adjustable waists make for a better fit and room to grow.  They ensure their clothes wash and wear well yet they don’t cost the earth and still manage to remain fashionable at the same time.

The best bit is that this autumn, Nutmeg have launched a women’s range into 80 of their stores and having had a big of sneak peek myself earlier this month I can’t wait to go and investigate further!  Nutmeg want their focus to be on quality, fit and style – they’re not trying to be the cheapest on the market (or should that say supermarket!) but they do want to represent good value and from what I’ve seen so far they’re absolutely nailing this.
