Outfit sounds lovely laska I am currently dressed for Pilates

So....spanx leggings - after reading the comments on here, I wasn't too hopeful. I got them in M - not as tight as I had predicted and actually quite comfy, but that was only wearing them 5 minutes! But I decided they aren't worth £89 so will be returning and I'll keep the £20 Asos ones.

[twosoups1972]

I'm planning on having a bit of a clear out today - not a major one but I'll go through my wardrobe and see if there is anything worth ebay -ing.

Where do you all keep clothes you've bought but haven't decided about yet? I'm getting annoyed by piles of clothes in my bedroom along with packaging, paperwork etc....

@Ellapaella oh my lovely, truly hope that all will be ok sending much love & big cuddle 💐

[ilovecherries]

Ella, sending loads of good vibes.

Oh also have the Lola scarf on ( goes well with the leopard leggings as pattern is vaguely animal spots. Really great buy at£20 if they have any left.

[twosoups1972]

Lola scarf is sold out unfortunately, it looks nice laska. I'm tempted by the red/black zebra scarf but what about my resolution that I DO NOT NEED any more scarves?! Unless I ebay an old one?

[twosoups1972]

Can I pick the brains of you lovely people on this sunny but cold Thursday (anyone else have a smattering of snow this morning?).

I've bought a burgundy suede biker jacket in the sale from Mint Velvet. It's a good buy and nice on. The reason I am hesitating is that I have hanging in my wardrobe a biscuit coloured suede biker bought in the sale from Hobbs a few years ago which remains unworn. I don't need two. If I keep the MV one, I will try and Ebay the Hobbs one although not sure how much I will get for it. Photos to follow!

[twosoups1972]

Burgundy MV or light tan Hobbs?

[Talisin]

Burgundy. Also, if the Hobbs one has been hanging unworn for a few years then you aren’t going to suddenly start wanting to wear it now. Let it go and keep the burgundy.

[neveradullmoment99]

Definitely the burgundy one :) I do like the lighter one but agree with talisin. They both look good on you.

@twosoups1972 I have a wooden shelf thing I got in TK Maxx with copper knobs to hang clothes on the bottom. It only has about five so I can clearly see what I have bought and if I haven't worn something within a couple of weeks they it goes back. On another note definitely keep the burgundy jacket.

I have a Hobbs midi dress on with black tights and leopard boots today so I am all smart for this evening. No hush for a change.

[neveradullmoment99]

Sounds nice @codfish.
I am just running back and forward picking kids up from school so its just hush black jeans and ivy dress in black over the top and a cheap and bobbly Tesco cardigan in charcoal. I will just shove my dm's on when I leave for the school run.

@dontcallmelen - when I cleared out my mother's cupboards, I found that she had an unnatural penchant for burnt orange, cutout Mary Janes. (Shudders). I think there were close to 40 pairs. Very few of them had ever touched the ground. I always wondered what the people who cleared out the charity bin made of that donation.
I have been eyeing off the Spanx faux leggings, but suspect I'd look like a lumpy sausage skin. Also, I'm 5ft1. in America you can get Petite ones, of course they're not available here. What do I do with the excess leg length? It's far too hot here to imagine wearing them now, but I know in winter, they will be invaluable and impossible to get.

[dontcallmelen]

Soups yy with pp the mint velvet one looks as though it fits better as well.
Cod that sounds very smart, I’m currently in painting clothes still.
Just I feel your pain I’m 4ft10, is it possible to get them chopped & hemmed I usually get stuff altered at a dry cleaners that has a really good seamstress, oh lord burnt orange Mary Janes not sure what to say😃 my dm loved very high heels but unfortunately all to big for me.
