Coleen Rooney cut a relaxed figure in an empowerment logo jumper as she stepped out in Cheshire on Friday.
WAG, 36, went to the M&S supermarket to buy a birthday cake and other essentials before returning to her car and driving off.
The words on the Anine Bing sweater read: “I am strong, powerful, kind, confident, beautiful, strong, capable, grateful, I am me.”

Stepping out, Coleen completed her look with black leggings, comfy sneakers and a long black coat.
She wore her honey braids in a ponytail and opted for understated makeup as she juggled her errands on her way out of the store.
Her exit comes amid claims she is embroiled in another legal battle with Rebekah Vardy, this time over £1.5m in legal costs.
Sources claim the beauty, who won her landmark ‘Wagatha Christie’ libel case earlier this year, has doubled the costs she is asking her rival to pay from the originally proposed figure of £750,000.

It is believed the dispute over costs could mean a return to court for Coleen and Rebekah, with the mother-of-four also having to pay £500,000 in court costs.
A source told The Sun: ‘This costs hearing was still scheduled to take place, but after her victory, Coleen’s costs were double what she originally requested.’
‘[Rebekah] will likely have to incur his own attorneys’ fees to forensically challenge Coleen’s claims one by one. Just as Coleen is adamant she’s entitled to every penny, one can assume Becky won’t let up.
“If Coleen had stuck to her original guess, then maybe this matter would be settled and watered down now.”

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy for comment.
It has previously been reported that Coleen and Rebekah are set to face a dramatic final showdown in the High Court over who will foot the multi-million pound bill for their costly ‘Wagatha Christie’ libel battle.
Sources close to Coleen – who won the case in July – told the Mail on Sunday she would fight to ensure Rebekah pays the full amount, believed to be £3million.
Usually, a winning party will still have to pay around 30% of the costs.

But Coleen’s team say the judge’s damning ruling that Becky sold stories about her to The Sun newspaper means it’s ‘inconceivable’ she won’t have to pay the full amount.
Mrs Justice Steyn has ruled that Becky and her agent Caroline Watt leaked stories about Coleen, wife of former England captain Wayne.
Rebekah has sued her former friend for defamation over a now-famous social media post in which Coleen described setting up a ‘sting operation’ by posting false stories to selected followers on her private Instagram account to find out who was leaking stories about him to the Sun.
The October 2019 “big reveal” post ended: “This is… Rebekah Vardy’s account.”
After Rebekah sued, Coleen offered her a “hands-free” offer, which meant they would both leave, paying their own expenses. She also suggested that they donate to charity.
But Rebekah refused, leading to a costly High Court trial. Now, after her victory, Coleen wants her rival to pay.
A source close to Coleen said: “Coleen didn’t want this to happen. She knew the money would be better spent on so many other things, but she won’t let Rebekah off the hook without paying the full cost. .
“She tried to sort it out early but Rebekah wouldn’t. And if you look at the outline of the judgment, it’s inconceivable that a judge wouldn’t agree to pay them in full. Let’s not forget that this action was brought by Rebekah and she lost dramatically.
At a preliminary hearing in March last year, the costs were estimated at £1.3million.
Now, after the two-week High Court hearing, reports have claimed the total could be £3million.
Rebekah’s solicitor, Hugh Tomlinson QC, reportedly charges £10,000 a day, while his counterpart, David Sherborne, charges around £8,000.
There is speculation that Rebekah and her husband, Leicester City striker Jamie, may have to sell their Portuguese villa to pay the legal bill.
