What are you wearing today, with a twist

70 replies

AbsofCroissant · 08/10/2010 09:19

Usual - what are you wearing today, but also why?

Today I am wearing:

  • black pencil skirt (it's new, ironed and at the front of the cupboard)
  • dark green bow blouse (I keep on seeing one similar to it in a shop on my way to work, so thought I might as well wear mine. And it's clean and ironed)
  • sheer black tights (they were the nearest)
  • navy crew neck jumper (as the jumper I normally wear the green shirt with has a mysterious giant hole on the shoulder)
  • black mary jane heels (only heels at work at moment)
  • silver watch (anniversary present from DP. I wear it all the time as it reminds me of him)

Black fleecy drawstring trousers, 10 year old top with holes in it!

Black opaques
denim mini skirt H&M maternity
Grey fine knit jumper Gap Maternity
Grey chunky knit cardi Jaeger
And my brand new Kurt Geiger sadlers

The whole outfit is designed to showcase the new boots which finally received yesterday and despite having some reservations about the length of the skirt (very short) I am only off to have my highlights done so figure I'll have a gown to protect my modesty!

ethelina · 08/10/2010 10:02

Red Herring jeans - cos I've just fit back in them since giving birth Yay!
Pink flowery vest - easy access for ds
Fatface white loose grandad top - ditto (also to hide the slight muffin top since putting on said jeans)
Remonte white pumps - cos they're flat and comfy to walk in.

Black bootcut jersey trousers from Lands End
Purple long sleeved t-shirt from Evans
About to add a black fleecy gilet type thingie or grey cardi depending on which I manage to grab without having to go upstairs.

Why? Have cold and no voice and am tired as DH came home at 3.40am and woke me up and I couldn't get back to sleep. I did go back to bed with hot lemon drink and book after I took DS to school and slept for an hour. About to curl up on sofa with my book.

Iamcountingto3 · 08/10/2010 11:20

Rocket dogs Smile but different ones to MajorNase - comfy and lovely
Jeans, black ruched turtleneck top and drapy cardi. Because I had 5 mins to get dressed and they were on the top of the pile of clothes to be put away Grin
