Boiling again and my work building is going to be a nightmare so will be wearing the omnipresent Next linen dress because for days like this, there’s a reason it sells.

Dress (Next)
Birkenstocks
Star choker necklace (Hush)
Bracelet (Swarovski)
Watch (Skagen)
Bag (Mulberry)

I want autumn back!

Argh. Air conditioning in the office on the blink again. Today am wearing:

La Redoute dress (saved up for when I was 16, still looks good as new)
Kate Kuba shoes
Mikimoto pearl studs
Aspinal hobo bag/Reiss black blazer (not seen)

Autumn, come back please!

That’s reassuring! My DS1 was 5lb 5oz @ILikeyourHairyHands - he’s 3.2 but in size 4-5 clothes already! Although small, both boys seems to love their food!

Another boiling day.

Peacock bandaux mini dress (H&M)
Mustard sandals (New Look)
Tan crossbody bag (Accessorize)
Jewellery: gold choker (Brighton Lanes); gold hexagonal hoop earrings (Rachel Jackson London); gold wave bangle (Oliver Bonas)

Hippy bothyday Lobster

happytobemrsg · 27/08/2019 17:06

Happy birthday @Lobsterquadrille2!! 🎈

SansaryaAgain · 27/08/2019 17:37

@happytobemrsg I have that dress! Have had it about 10 years but it's not really good for anything except the house and the beach now!

happytobemrsg · 27/08/2019 17:57

Oh my goodness @SansaryaAgain how funny! I’ve had mine for YEARS & only wear it on crazy hot days lounging at home but it’s doing well. So comfy for days like this.

Summersummershine · 27/08/2019 18:05

Happy birthday @Lobsterquadrille2 ! Hope you've had a lovely day...🎉

Thank you for the tip about style book pictures @happytobemrsg Here's today's outfit - my cropping skills have improved since I did the necklace, that was a very early effort 😂

I had to go for trousers for work today to cover all my mosquito bites 😟

I think those asymmetric hemlines are going to date badly. I believe in buying classically viable garments.

Ellapaella · 28/08/2019 11:00

Thanks for your input @NoTheresa
I don't really mind if it's considered dated. I wear what I like.

Ellapaella · 28/08/2019 11:04

I saw your quite unpleasant comments about the 'beige, bland, boring, stained carpets in tiny bedrooms with Next decor' on another thread. You were referring specifically to this thread. It would be nice if you could think of something positive to contribute.

Sooverthemill · 28/08/2019 11:07

I think it's lovely ellapella

SansaryaAgain · 28/08/2019 11:16

Cute pattern and I like the green @Ellapaella. And hey, if it does date then a) so what? and b) I'm sure it'll come around into fashion soon enough. Who thought we'd ever see t-shirts under slip dresses again?

Once the 90s revival is done then I wonder what we'll see? I'm struggling to remember the fashions of the early 2000s apart from very low rise bootcut jeans!

YesQueen · 28/08/2019 11:17

Yeah all my outfit pics are in my messy spare room which does have a beige carpet. It's used as a laundry room and I have mirrored wardrobes. My own room doesn't have a mirror. Soz 🤷🏽‍♀️🙄

Handbag101 · 28/08/2019 12:42

Ellapella. Your dress looks fab. Sounds like NoTheresa might be a bit jealous......

Ellapaella · 28/08/2019 13:02

Thank you 😊I don't really care what she thinks... a hem line may well become dated, most things do eventually.

Lobsterquadrille2 · 28/08/2019 18:12

Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes. Love the dress @Ellapaella - I have never heard of Joanie and am off to google. My work style is very plain and boring and could probably be a bit livelier.

BarrenFieldofFucks · 28/08/2019 19:30

Don't feed it 😏

All looking lovely as ever. Birthday wishes and happy baby arrivals to all concerned!

Odd day here,a bit showery but warm.

Wore this hemp dress, with saltwater sandals and gold hoops.

Hello I've been so busy with birthdays this last week I've not been on.

Happy Birthday for yesterday @Lobsterquadrille2
@Ellapaella hope the claws didn't tune your lovely hemline Wink

Today was rainy here and cooling down. My office is always freezing even when its warm so I mostly wear boots or trainers theres.
