I love buying clothes for Lily, and of corse love shopping for myself. So when I got the chance to head to the Me&i website to pick out an outfit for us both, I was really happy.
The website has lots of choice and all the designs are so different. I did spend quite a while trying to think of what to choose for Lily and I but in the end I settled on something.
Soon after, the clothing was sent to us and we were ready to try it on, wear it out and also do a fun photoshoot with it.
My first impressions were that I loved the designs. I chose a grey dress with spots and a pair of leggings. I am quite a fan of these type dresses are they are perfect for wearing leggings under and the length keeps you nice and warm. They are also so easy to move around in as with a child you do end up on the floor a lot and a short dress is not ideal.
For Lily I chose a tunic that had alligators on it holding handbags. I loved the colours on it as I do enjoy buying clothes for Lily that aren't typically girly.
We put them on and our outfits looked great toggether and it was really nice to have new clothing to wear. I had rented a studio for the day and I set up my camera onto a tripod with a remote ready to do a fun shoot.
The sizing of Lily's tunic was 2-3. Lily is nearly 3 but seems to fit better into 2 to 3 clothing. This tunic fit perfectly. Was the right length in the arms and the right fit in the body. It was really stretchy too so looked like it would be really comfortable on her. Lily was really impressed with her new dress. She loved the fact it had alligators on (Though she thinks they're dinosaurs) and kept telling me that she had a new dress with dinosaurs on and then going rawrrr. That made perfect for the photoshoot as I got a good picture of her rawwring in her new outfit.
The material was also really nice and soft and you can tell it is good quality. Lily's leggings were our own but you can also buy lots of leggings that match perfectly from the Me&i store.
Lily's tunic is £25.95 and you can head here to the website to take another look at it.
The first thing I must say about my dress is how comfortable it is. Im a size 8 and the fit was a little bit big on me but that just gave me more room to move around, which is something you do often with a little child. It was a little bit baggy at the chest area but that said I am very skinny at the top and wide at the hips, so I think it would probably fit someone who was an 8-10 a little better than it fits me. The material was really soft and also nice and stretchy. Again to me, it felt like it was a really good quality piece of clothing.
The leggings I got in a size 10. They fit perfectly, leggings can be touch and go with me to if they fit nicely, but these wern't to tight on me and were a really good length. Also they were really soft and wern't to thick or to thin so perfect for the autumn days we are having at the moment.

The dress is a price of £49.95 and the leggings are £29.95 and you can buy them here on the Me&i Woman's section of the website.
The prices do seem quite high but what I do like about Me&i is how important the quality of the clothing is to them. Also how important it is that good working conditions are kept for their workers. Read more about this here in there pricing section of the website.

Reminds me of some years ago :- My nephew got the opportunity to do some clothes modelling. He was a child and his Mum worked in Management for shop. She said one day there was talk of need for new child models. Having heard that model got to keep outfit:- She asked her son if he would like the opportunity,to which he said yes. He stated he enjoyed the day and opportunity.
