Inspire me.


I am wearing a pear of bootcut jeans - George, because I happened to be in Asda when my 'old' jeans were falling down (thumbs up diet)
A yellow/mustard henley (a few buttons on front) ribbed long sleeve top - again, George (grabbed same time as jeans as charity shopped 80% of my wardrobe :))
Black nursing bra - dunno by who @ Debenhams
sage knickers with abit of greying lace - Figleaves, but need to do a replacement pant shop!

Staying at home - DH has the car for work and have a freind over for DS (5) so looking after 4 little ones :)

SO come on, what are you wearing and what are you doing?

Straight leg dark denim jeans, M and S Autograph stripe grey and navy tunic, White Company pendant, Fitflop sneakers. About to put on my navy trench to go out as pouring.

Yesterday wore really grotty old baggy cut-off trousers and ancient top to go to shops, with hair messy (but not in a good way) and of course ran into friend I haven't seen in ages, who always looks good and was fresh from the hairdresser after a great cut and blow dry!!

But I don't really give a toss, I'm bogging around the house tidying and doing a bit of half arsed decorating and its hot and muggy so ner.

Kay - just like to know what people are wearing, you can usally tell the style better by the brand etc. It's anot a "ooh, look at me in me George" Wink , get ideas of other shops to try, if you ee certain brands crop up time and time again you think "oh, that seems worth a look".... it relevant :)

I look lush today, I am wearing a pair of black baggy leggings which are ripped down one inside leg, and a very ancient Zandra Rhodes tee shirt that I got from a catalogue about 20 years ago. Good quality though, it still looks as good as new! No bra, and Fitflops.
I will smarten up when I go out later.

I am wearing my new enormous maternity / nursing bra in pink and cream lace, knickers from the everdiminishing pile that fit, summer dress which I can no longer reach round the back of to do buttons up and cardi over top to hide said buttons. I did brave the bath today with my Molton Brown so although I haven't got round to sorting my hair out I smell lovely.

Slovenly. Ancient pair of boot-cut jeans (don't even know where they came from as the label has washed out), bare feet, manky old nursing bra (I am still feeding, this isn't totally random!) and Gap T-shirt that was nice but has been stretched by DS pulling at the neckline while feeding.

I'm working at home today.

Dark grey linen trousers, green vest top (would probably be called pistachio in a colour chart) and toning green round neck cardigan, buttons partly done up to disguise muffin top . Pulled together with a green necklace. silver toe post sandals, although will need to change those when I go outside as it's STILL raining.

A bit of a mixed bag today- plum coloured Seraphine dress, Kenneth cole pumps with loads of copper balls strung together with ribbons in a bunch at the top and a tiny gold chain with heart pendant. Quite knackered from sleeping late last night so forgot earrings and wristwatch. At work by the way- we r all a knackered bunch as we were at a work reception till late last night!Sad
