Jeans M&S, top TopShop, cardigan M&S.

Dress Next - not sure whether to keep it. Work require jacket and tights but DD said the pattern is middle aged. I am 50 and was more concerned about it being too short.

Wide legged jeans from zara
Long military green cardigan from primark
Black baggy t shirt
Hideous sparkly earrings that were my mums in the 80s, and she hated them because they were vulgar.

#IhaveALooBrush
You made me laugh,with your comments about the earrings.

Ellapaella · 01/09/2019 16:50

You have an amazing figure @Lobsterquadrille2. Love both your outfits.
I would love to see some examples of wide leg trousers outfits, I do have one pair of wide leg jeans but haven't really been able to make them work for me, not really sure what to wear with them. It'd be great to have some inspiration, I like the sound of your outfit @IhaveALooBrush
Today I'm wearing Hush harems, TopShop sandals and a Richard Allen t shirt from H&M. Earrings are Hush.

Aw thank you @Ellapaella - I've put on a fair bit of weight and have felt self conscious about going out recently in case people think "hmm, Lobster's looking chunkier than she used to". Love your outfit, especially the sandals! I always have shoe envy - hate buying the things but admire others.

SansaryaAgain · 01/09/2019 22:25

But you look tiny @Lobsterquadrille2!!

Lobsterquadrille2 · 02/09/2019 07:35

@SansaryaAgain thank you - I think it's relative! I'm a stone heavier than I was but objectively probably look better!

Workout leggings from Matalan, vest from H and m, thin baggy jumper from a charity shop, hiking boots and a waterproof coat from Millets. Ugly but practical, Going for a walk in the hills.

YesQueen · 04/09/2019 15:07

Boring. Matalan dress, Office boots, snag tights

Ellapaella · 04/09/2019 17:03

I know I'm being really daft but what are snag tights? Are they super thick tights that don't get ladders? Nice dress @YesQueen

Today I'm wearing a dress I bought in the summer from Matalan but it's cold and wet so wearing with boots and a cosy cardigan.

@Ellapaella they're sized differently so actually vary in width and length. I'm 5ft 10 and all tights are never long enough or constrict me around the crotch Grin
I found snag and haven't looked back, I only wear their tights now

Ellapaella · 04/09/2019 17:53

Thanks both! They look great. Definitely a winter essential. Will give them a try.

YesQueen · 04/09/2019 17:55

They don't fall down and I like roomy tights so my size comes up to my bra Grin
Life changing for me, I wear dresses nearly every day now for work

happytobemrsg · 04/09/2019 18:22

Fabulous outfit @Talisin

Love the t-shirt & harems @Ellapaella. I saw that T on the H&M website & thought it looked cute. What’s the sizing like? Is it boxy/loose?

I’m waiting to lose the baby belly so I can start tucking things in! I feel like I’ve not left the house in days so I have no interesting outfits to share. I’m waiting for a final delivery from &OS & then will hopefully have my Autumn capsule wardrobe sorted (based on Project 333 but not including coats/jewellery in my 33 items).

Ellapaella · 04/09/2019 18:29

@happytobemrsg it's not boxy, lovely soft material that doesn't cling. I'm a size 10-12 and got the medium which is my usual H&M size.

Thank you @happytobemrsg ! That lace top is by far my most hard working wardrobe item (I have it black too) - it goes with pretty much everything.

BarrenFieldofFucks · 04/09/2019 21:01

Centre parcs at the moment so working with a very very capsule wardrobe 😂

Bouledeneige · 04/09/2019 21:11

Work day so: a cos straightline dress in spatter pink, dark and light blue with opaque back tights and black heeled ankle boots. Worn out with a pink M&S raincoat and my large black Mulberry bayswater bag.

happytobemrsg · 04/09/2019 21:24

Annoyingly it’s out of stock now @Ellapaella - I should have got it when I first saw it!

@Talisin I love versatile clothes like that! That’s why I’m trying the capsule wardrobe route - I have too many things I never wear.

Enjoy Centreparcs @BarrenFieldofFucks! We go there every year
