Anyone fancy a 'No Jeans in June' challenge/thread?

I have got a wardrobe full of LOVELY clothes but I always always end up in jeans...
I think it's possibly because I always feel 'too dressed up' in skirts and dresses but anyhoo... am determined to make more of an effort this summer so have decided I'm not going to wear jeans at all for the month of June. Anyone with me?

It’s strange but I hardly ever wear blue jeans. Currently pregnant, but before that my jeans wear grey (dark & light), khaki (my favourite), black or burgundy. I don’t typically go for blues so maybe that’s why 🤷‍♀️

Cheating a bit today with lilac jeans but in my defence it's cold and wet here. But in keeping with the spirit of the task I'm wearing them with a mint green cashmere jumper that is quite dressy and thus normally kept "for best." It's another thing that has only recently started fitting me too!

Ooh mint green cashmere sounds lush...

I'm wearing a grey jersey midi dress that is ruched up the sides - ie. meant to be flattering around the belly which is helpful due to those holiday lbs I've recently gained Grin

I'm wearing it with some high top converse style trainers so not feeling too "dressed up"

May have to bump this to a No Jeans July if the weather doesn’t sort itself out though! Luckily I don’t have to be smart for work so denim mini and leggings mean ‘no jeans’ again today.

Today's outfit is navy chinos with a coral coloured cotton knit boatneck top, plus cream brogues.

Was going to be a navy White Stuff dress but when I put it on I realised that I don't actually like it and it doesn't suit me. So that's going to the charity shop.

Argh I'm really struggling! Nearly gave up and wore some black jeans today but put them away and am wearing a grey jersey skirt with black tights instead.
The weather needs to warm up a bit because I'm running out of warm clothes that aren't jeans!!!

Yeah, this isn't really the weather for it! If it was sunny, I'd have loads of lovely dresses to wear.

I'm in workout gear following a Pilates class and think I may just stay in it rather than having to think of another outfit!

Argh I’m also running out of warm but not jeans clothes. Yesterday grey biker trousers with a cream jumper and leather jacket and gold converse.

Today grey and cream Hush sweater dress, black leggings and black ankle boots.

Struggling now. Come on summer!!!

Really stretching the boundary of what counts as jeans today with pale grey jeggings, but IT'S STILL BLOODY RAINING!! Also I needed to wear suitable clothes for my days activities - working on the theatre box office in the morning, so need to look reasonably smart, but going for a swim afterwards, so needed clothes I can get on and off quickly. Trying to get tights back on to slightly damp legs is no fun.

When will it stop raining???

lilpumpsmum · 13/06/2019 10:23

Tell me about it! It's so bloody miserable.

I'm in a 'lounge' coord set I got from Zara a few months ago, with a teddy jacket and black and white slip on shoes and I'm heading to get a pedi!

Very monochrome so I've jazzed it up with a blue bag Smile

Nooooo I’ve failed (ish) non stop rain so I’m in Timberland Nellie WINTER boots and burgundy jeans with a white vest top and flannel shirt. At work so layered up with styley work fleece over the top of everything. When. Will. It. Stop. Just ordered 2 summer dresses and some racer back vest tops last night. Ever hopeful!!
