Skinny jeans, dove grey long jersey vest, long sleeved oversized jersey top, long line cardigan from next in navy. Bare feet and coral toes but I will prob slip uggs and my biker jacket on for the school run.

Dd (2yrs) is wearing navy wool leggings (soft warm wool not the itchy stuff), owl socks, black boots, long sleeved fuschia smock style t shirt and a navy gilet.

Am I supposed to iron my jeans?

Stinklebell · 10/01/2014 13:30

Working from home today, am wearing

Dark green jumper dress from H&M
Black opaques
Black ankle boots.

I always work from home and wear a mix of casual dresses, jeans and skirts. Yesterday it was black skinnies, denim shirt and a purpley jumper

hootloop · 10/01/2014 13:35

Well I am wearing bootcut jeans (the only style of jeans that suits me) as I do most days with a red t shirt and a jumper with a badger on it.

When I took the kids to school I put on my bright link trainers and my not very stylish but warm turquoise trespass jacket, which unfortunately looks at bit daft as it matches DDs. She is 4 I am 30.

QueenCadbury · 10/01/2014 13:39

Will add black ankle boots and blue wool coat for school run.

Normally am in gym gear or jeans/denim skirt and jumper to be fair though.
