I used to see a lot of these floating around but haven't noticed one in ages.

I'm wearing

Dark green long sleeve blouse - Zara
Dark green tailored shorts with faint polka dot pattern - also Zara
Short (almost cropped) tartan-y blazer - a charity shop find
Black tights - New Look
Black ankle boots - Topshop

Will chuck on big dark red scarf (River Island) and suede dark red gloves (Accessorize) when I pop out again in a bit, with a green coat and a black messenger bag.

I feel a bit like a farmer's wife, but I'm quite enjoying it. Smile

What are you all sporting today?

If i were to go out i would be putting on my boden dufflecoat [ last seasons] in camel and my biker boots.

Littlepumpkinpie · 08/01/2015 16:14

I am doing a no jeans January so today it's grey colour blocked tube skirt with pink checked Ralph Lauren shirt, grey cashmere cardi, black wool tights and heeled shoe boots. Smart wool coat when I go out later

DuchessDisaster · 08/01/2015 16:18

I am very boring today as I have just been pottering around the house.
Navy cords, silk, thermal vest with long sleeves, Whistles cowl neck cashmere jumper in navy.

HerRoyalNotness · 08/01/2015 16:18

Wide legged black, kind of speckled white ifsyim trousers
black long sleeve T
Grey jersey thing with short sleeves and cowl neck
Grey NB trainers.
There is a chill in the air, but not enough for me to need a coat or gloves etc..

Haven't got any stockings or long socks so trainers it was. At a loss what shoes to wear with the wide legged trousers too. Any ideas?

50shadesofmeh · 08/01/2015 16:20

black and white striped body con vero moda dress, mustard oversize knit zara sweater , black tights and tiptop black biker boots. Necklace that looks like golden antlers.

nocarbsplease · 08/01/2015 16:25

Pj bottoms and a Breton top. In my defence, I was dressed in grey skinnies but got drenched so had to get them off as soon as I got in!

5446 · 08/01/2015 16:56

Topshop navy ribbed long tshirt
Jack Wills fairisle leggings
Jack Wills cream knitted jacket

I've been pottering doing paperwork around the house all day.

I bought the Topshop long tshirts in all 6 colours that they do, so for the past few weeks I have just been wearing them with a combination of thick leggings or jeans. Best buy so far!

TerrifiedMothertobe · 08/01/2015 19:36

Great post.

I was off work today so just skinny jeans and suede brown ankle boots and a pink cotton/ silk print jumper.

I need some tips for new shops. I am stuck in a rut of zara and m&s. I need to look smart for work but don't like suits and don't want to spend a fortune as I have small children.... They put snot, weetabix and sticky fingers on everything.

I am a 12 (14 post Xmas!) and quite booby, Heeelp!

LilacVesper · 08/01/2015 19:45

I'm not very good at casual clothes, Green - maybe because I'm hourglassy, or maybe just because I'm a sucker for clothes that are dressier than my lifestyle!

These outfits sound lovely - Remus, I'm particularly interested in your 'fine silk jumper'. Sounds gorgeous, not boring in the slightest!
