New silver chrome nails, bringing a bit of bling to my day. Same outfit as yesterday, with a bit of a homegrown blow dry. Lots of meetings today!

I’m making a conscious effort to dig out some of my older clothes so that I can decide what to keep and what to declutter.

Trousers: Gap
Top: Ted Baker
Boots: Bertie

@Sooverthemill - Warehouse have 30% off all knitwear at the moment should you want to have another go at finding a cosy jumper.

Sooverthemill · 12/11/2019 10:24

@Oubliette thank you! I'd already found that and have just ordered £150 worth of jumpers to try on! And a couple from mango hoping at least one will be nice. I love your outfit today and @upallnightpain's nails!

happytobemrsg · 12/11/2019 13:09

Wow @Ellapaella that’s surprising. There is a Shoe Zone in my high street. I might check them out.

I love your nails @upallnightpain. I wonder if gold would work as well... 🤔

That’s a shame @Sooverthemill. I’m quite sensitive too but I always wear a long sleeve heatech top underneath which helps.

happytobemrsg · 12/11/2019 13:11

Met my parents, sister & nephew for a coffee & soft play this morning (it’s at David Lloyd so DS1 & my nephew pretty much have the whole thing to themselves). Home now & going to get on with some TOMM jobs!

Nice outfit @happy
Yes I had high neck long sleeve top under but I'm incredibly sensitive to animal fibres. Very few I can wear except merino wool. It's a real pain. Sent back a stories jumper which said merino wool on website but in reality was just wool and I couldn't even bear to touch it

Hush cardigan
Ancient Boden Breton
Banana republic girlfriend jeans
Jigsaw trainers

I love that T-shirt @happytobemrsg.

Another set of ‘legacy’ clothes today.
Trousers: Reiss (2010)
Jumper: Karen Millen (2011/12?)
Shoes: Phase Eight (2018)

I think the trousers are going to go (I’ve put on about half a stone in weight since I bought them, and they feel slightly too tight).

@OublietteBravo I love your outfit, those shoes are fabulous

@Sooverthemill you look lovely.

I'm in running gear at the moment. Been for a run white the dog, stopped at beach cafe for a bacon sandwich for me and a sausage for her. It's freezing and I fell over and really hurt me knee. Will have to hobble home I think.

@Ellapaella thanks and I feel your pain. I put my shoulder/back out on Monday and I'm waiting for DH to come home on Friday so I can get to,osteopath. Meanwhile I'm eyeing up the dogs tramodol and using a heat pack! Ouch

Softpebbles · 13/11/2019 14:48

Oh no @Ellapaella

Today Topshop dress, do jumper and docs.

Out of my comfort zone.

Softpebbles · 13/11/2019 14:58

Oh @Sooverthemill that sounds awful too. Backs are horrible things when they start playing up. Hope you are feeling better soon. X

MonkeyGoneToHeaven · 13/11/2019 15:03

Softpebbles I like your outfit. I always forget maxi dresses can be effectively converted into skirts in the winter by putting a jumper over the top!

Sooverthemill · 13/11/2019 15:29

@Softpebbles thank you. I like the jumper over the dress! I'm embarrassed to say how many jumpers arrived today I have actually lost count, if one of these isn't right I'm knitting one!

Ellapaella · 13/11/2019 16:39

I’ve ordered these Mint Velvet boots. They are utterly gorgeous and I couldn’t resist. Used the 15% discount, I really hope they live up to expectations. Never had boots or shoes from MV and I have wide feet so they may be far too narrow and I’ll be disappointed, can’t find any online reviews. Anyone else had experience of MV footwear?

Oops missed your picture pebbles. You look great, love your outfit today.

I like that outfit @Softpebbles - it might be out of your comfort zone, but I think you look great.

@Sooverthemill - I think I might have those trainers. Are they the navy cord suede ones from last winter?

@Ellapaella my silver trainers from a few posts back are from there. Very comfortable and decent fabrics I thought.

innuendobingo · 13/11/2019 18:29

@Softpebbles my Ugg black boots came today in the post, my brown ones have been so versatile in the last year that I have high hopes for these too!

Sooverthemill · 13/11/2019 18:53

@OublietteBravo no they are the Olivia slip on cross over. Really comfy. I wasn't sure about them when I first had them but they've proved super useful

OublietteBravo · 14/11/2019 09:06

I’m quite enjoying being able to wear opaque tights again.

Skirt: Hobbs (old)
Top: Next (2017)
Boots: Bertie
