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?

it's the only perk to having a teen daughter Only thing better is when she says "oh that's nice, I have one like that" and I chortle to myself and think "had!"

that made me laugh, I have relieved dd of 2 cardis and some converse this year and bought a jacket off her friend Grin

There's lots of long vest top wearing going on!

I have a few from hush but never know how to wear them. I sometimes wear them with a long open cardie on top, but can you wear them with a jumper over? With the bottom bit of the vest showing?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/01/2015 22:49

I do, Dancer. I buy the £3.99 H&M ones - v good/wash really well.

5446 · 10/01/2015 23:19

Dancer, just seen this.

They are long sleeved, think they are on the website as ribbed tunic.

I've bought 6 and am eyeing up my 7th! I'm a tall Hourglass and they are a great shape on me, skimming without being baggy or shapeless.

LilacVesper · 10/01/2015 23:26

Ooh, nice to see this thread pop up in Active Convos again Smile

Today I wore
White pussybow blouse - Mango
Silvery cropped cardigan thingy - M&S, it's v. old and was my mum's in the early noughties!
Black patterned skirt - Urban Outfitters
Black boots - Topshop
Navy short quilted jacket - Zara
With an ASOS black over-the-shoulder bag

I know I don't sound as put together as you lot but I'm a student and am enjoying sticking to classic cuts but playing around with colours and patterns that clash!

I have been hideously mismatched today, as usual.

Navy and grey spotty tunic, White Stuff second from EBay.
Blue and grey stripey long sleeve from Primark c.2008 underneath.
Blue leggings from Sainsburys.
Pink, blue, beige, red and white Per Una via Red Cross Shop cardy, the type of which there are millions on Ebay.
Multicoloured stripey socks.
Brown and beige fur lined DMs.

This would be OK if I was 24 and skinny. As I am neither the effect is bag lady chic. Ooh, I'm sooooo stylish.

Gap red and ecru (neither beige nor cream) stripe ribbed top
