I’m setting up a Contracts Management company which reviews & negotiates service contracts, handles legal disputes etc. I do this now self-employed on a very small scale (one regular client who insists I’m in the office 3 days a week, 9-6). Now I want to set up a Ltd & step outside of my current industry, grow my client base so I can work from home on an ad hoc basis. Much more flexible now I have 2 DC. I’m 31 & in a very fortunate position (free childcare, no financial pressure) so I thought I’d give it a go.

👍🏻 sounds good! Good luck!

Hope it went well today with your planning @happytobemrsg @Talisin I'm seriously lusting over all your footwear. Are those DMs fleecy inside?

Talisin · 09/09/2019 15:05

@cheesenpickles they are on the leg, yes, but not in the foot which I always found a little odd. In the end I got some fleecy inner soles from Celtic Co. and now I walk around in a little fleecy cocoon.

Is there a free Stylebook app? Or just the £3.99 one?

Ellapaella · 09/09/2019 16:52

@Talisin I am loving your outfit today. I bought some cherry red DM's in March which I fully intend to be permanently attached to my feet this autumn/winter. Loving the ruched skirt - I have one from Boden in black which I will be pairing up with my DM's for sure, I want some interesting tights to complete the look.

@Ellapaella Cherry red DMs are on my lust-list, along with glitter ones. One day...

I think I have the same Boden ruched skirt as well in both black and navy but tend to default to the Hush one in winter as it’s shorter and I think it looks better with thick tights.

SuddenBeetE · 09/09/2019 18:19

Cold here today, so this with Uniqlo heat tech vest under. Car boot bargain hush cords (£1!!)

Today, because it was wet and cool, and I have a fit dog to exercise followed immediately by an exercise class, it was Ronhill running tights (black), a cashmere V neck sweater, orange socks, a ruched tube skirt (also black). Wellies for dog walking with a waterproof, then changed boots for the supermarket and making dinner. No make up, no style points but a bit better than atrocious.

XingMing · 09/09/2019 20:40

All black apart from the socks; I'm back in love with black.

AdoraBell · 09/09/2019 22:25

Black jeans, cream top, purple cardigan, green/purple scarf.

Earlier, work, black trousers and jacket, cream top, black loafers.

Yesterday, navy blazer, blue scarf, white/pale blue dress and nude sling back heels. Out for lunch with DH.

Once I’ve cleared the cost of work clothes I’ll get a navy blue suit. I like some black clothes but I need colour too.

Ellapaella · 10/09/2019 08:12

First go with Style Book. Jeans from Jigsaw, Earrings from Whistles, t shirt from H&M, long grey cardigan and Trainers. It's good cardigan weather at the moment - not cold enough for a coat or heavy jumper but not warm enough for just a t shirt.

My little DS has gone for his 1st day at nursery.. think this is the 1st time I’ve not had at least 1 child hanging around me in ooh a decade or so?! Anyway, the sun is back so out for lunch with my Dad, he always wears a shirt tie and jacket so thought I’d dress up, too.

That’s beautiful Sudden

Ellapaella · 10/09/2019 11:24

@SuddenBeetE lovely dress. Enjoy your day, my youngest is now at school full time (just started reception) so I now get two full days to myself a week when I'm off work - bliss.

SuddenBeetE · 10/09/2019 11:26

@happytobemrsg thank you, it’s whistles. Very swishy, trying not save my nicer stuff for ‘best’

happytobemrsg · 10/09/2019 11:42

Odd weather today. I really wanted to wear a snuggly chunky jumper but think I’d overheat. Equally I need to pop to the shops & don’t want to be cold 🤷‍♀️

I wore a lovely swishy dress the other day Sudden & felt fabulous

AdoraBell · 10/09/2019 13:22

Dark jeans, purple top under darker shade purple cardigan, black boots. Overcast here and a tad chilly. No work today so I can relax post dentist. She removed and old filling and refilled the gap. Other than feeling lopsided all is well 😁

Talisin · 10/09/2019 20:28

Velvet swing dress (Asos)
Velvet buckle shoes (Topshop)
Pineapple necklace (Hush)
Burgundy biker (Next)
Scout hobo bag (Coach)

I was freezing today - my workplace has about 4 days a year where the temperature is perfect, rest of them time I’m too hot or too cold.

Long shot, but does anyone remember the series Years and Years on BBC? One character, Celeste I think, had a brightly coloured silk dress.

Would anyone know the brand/designer or stockists? Google is no bleeding help Hmm

BarrenFieldofFucks · 10/09/2019 21:09

Loved the series. Stayed with me for ages. I remember her dresses...

Talisin · 11/09/2019 07:37

Dress (New Look)
Velvet jacket (Amazon)
Boots (Deichman)
Moon/Star necklace (Hush)

Also have a heattech top underneath so hopefully won’t freeze today!
