Darcie’s OOTD | June

6 June, 201511 April, 2026

This morning whilst Jamie was doing our local Park Run, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to take some snaps of my favourite subject, Darcie. Darcie received a beautiful outfit from her Grandparents and I couldn’t resist sharing it with you all. Mainly because I’m pretty darn jealous of her wardrobe of late, including this outfit!!

Her grandparents got her this gorgeous linen biker jacket from Next, which is the perfect lightweight jacket for the summer. Literally, why can they not make this in an adults size – its blooming gorgeous!

Her dress is also a Next item, and is a simple navy dress with rather cute giraffes embroidered on around the hem of the dress. The shoes are from Joules and look super comfy!

Her hat is another Next item (you know we’re Next mad in this house!) and just completes the outfit. Luckily Darcie loves wearing hats so its never a battle to get her to wear them.

Daddy all sweaty after his run – love this picture.

Do you ever wish they would do adult sizes in some children’s clothes?!
