I have to go into the office on Monday...

I’ve just tried on my office clothes (first time since last March) and they don’t fit.

Feck! I hadn’t even noticed I’d put weight on, I’ve just been wearing joggers and sweaters for 12 months.

What am I going to wear? How has this happened!

lighthearted but also, help

Any smart casual stuff instead??

ASOS next day delivery of a shift dress type thing. Depending on your style, Monki is great, but they have a million options. Order tonight and it'll be there tomorrow. I think the cut off is 10pm.

I had a similar panic when I had to put my black funeral trousers on the other day!! I need to sort myself out 😂

Belt and don’t do the button up.
Hair band through the button.
Long top.
Wear something too casual on bottom half but claim it’s because of the insanely weather.
Ask a friend or neighbour.

Oh dear something has disagreed with you and there is no way you can travel as you might need the toilet at no notice. Can I continue to work from home?

Do you have a big supermarket near you that sells clothes? Not ideal but see if you can find anything to make do until you order something online.

Ha no help but I feel you sister, I tried to dress “nice” the other day for a trip to the damn shop (haven’t been out of this village for weeks and weeks, not a bloody chance of anything going on but leggings!

Emergency ASDA trip tomorrow?

LtJudyHopps · 13/02/2021 20:23

Tesco have some lovely clothes at the moment and had 25% off womenswear on wednesday. Not sure how smart you need to be?

Darbs76 · 13/02/2021 20:57

I have the opposite problem in that I’ve lost weight and nothing fits.

toolazytothinkofausername · 13/02/2021 20:58

Do you have a DP? Do you fit into his clothes?

PerpendicularVincent · 13/02/2021 21:01

If you have amazon prime you can probably get some stretchy trousers delivered tomorrow Wink

That happened to me, my weight increase was really fast. We were kicked out end of march, went in for a meeting in July... luckily we are quite casual so I ended up in my fat girl cropped trousers & a tshirt.
Didnt fool anybody, I wasnt the only one.
I haven worn joggers since, stuck to jeans with a belt to remind myself not to eat so much Wink

SpudsandGravy · 13/02/2021 21:12

I so know what you mean... I'll have getting on for a stone to lose before I have to start going back in again :-(

Divebar2021 · 13/02/2021 21:14

Do you not have a jersey dress or something equally as stretchy? Otherwise an emergency supermarket visit is in order.
