Our Top Picks for 'Stay-at-Home', Summer Style...

Being in lockdown at home should not mean lounging around in PJs all day. You will know that if you don’t bother to get dressed in the morning, you can end up feeling like a total zombie. However, when you get dressed every day, it changes your mindset. There’s just something about changing from your jammies that turns your mind on.

There’s something about getting dressed and popping some makeup on that just makes you feel better, even if it’s just leggings and a t-shirt.

The fact is, when you get dressed you’re taking care of yourself, and that’s important. So with that in mind, we have put together our top picks for your ‘stay-at-home’, summer wardrobe. Check out our favourite items, all from independent stores across Somerset, below:
