@Veronicat that looks like a very cosy place to be, hope you feel better soon.

@Talisin amazing boots (again) - seriously you have the best boot wardrobe!

@bettybea loving the mom jeans and converse combo.

I've had a long (stressful) day at work but finished it off nicely by taking the kids out for tea. My 8 year old came back from a 3 day residential today so I'm loving having him home and hearing about his adventures.

To the pub for tea I wore black skinny jeans (Superdry) sparkly jumper from Wallis, AllSaints biker jacket and a black sparkly hat from Espirit (bought in Amsterdam a few years ago).

@Talisin @twosoups1972 I have the bag in black, Oxblood (which looks more like dark brown to me) and a pale stone colour. I bought them all at half price as my gift to myself when I was pregnant, sick Envy and miserable

happytobemrsg · 22/11/2019 20:05

I’ve heard some good things about Snag tights so I’ve ordered a couple of pairs & will report back!

Sooverthemill · 22/11/2019 20:06

Okay, where's the bag from? If it's that good I should look!

KiteflyingKat · 22/11/2019 20:17

Coach Scout Bag

uk.coach.com/coach-designer-purses-large-scout-hobo-in-pebble-leather/34311.html?dwvar_color=LIBLK

But I definitely paid much less than full price

KiteflyingKat · 22/11/2019 20:19

The reason I think it’s great is it has a short strap plus a long one so I can sling it across my body when I need to pick up a toddler.

It’s also not absolutely massive.

hammeringinmyhead · 22/11/2019 20:29

I have a Scout Hobo in khaki. In fact I think I started a thread on it? I love mine.

Talisin · 23/11/2019 08:43

That bag’ll turn up on the next MN recomends email nowGrin But yeah, anyone looking to buy, wait for the sale when it’s pretty much always around half price.

What a horrible, grey Saturday - still looks dark outside.
Emanuelle dress (Hush)
Green velvet jacket (Next)
Triumph boots (Dr Marten)

I bought this a few weeks ago but still undecided on it. I have my beloved Dubarry bag that I use daily but this is bigger to fill with more crap.
And now I've just seen its reduced by £50 thanks to Black Friday. Hmmmm, I could send it back and reorder it in the blue which I've also just spotted!

@Ellapaella I do love the fire. Nothing better when under the weather than cuddle up with the cats in front of it.
@Sooverthemill Waves Hello back

Ellapaella · 23/11/2019 11:26

@Talisin love today's outfit. I'll be wearing a similar dress to yours with knee high suede boots today. Miserable day - I've been out for a run with the dog, came straight back for hot shower and will soon be getting ready to go out for a treat lunch at Hotel du Vin with the family. I was going to wear my red faux fur coat but I anticipate getting drenched - it's hasn't stopped raining all morning.

How many coats do you have @Ellapaella? I hardly have any. Loving the outfit - especially the boots.

Today I’m in pleather leggings (Mint Velvet), with a cashmere jumper (Boden) and trainers (Hobbs).

I’m in Lucy and yaks love em.

KiteflyingKat · 23/11/2019 12:50

I put on my pinafore dress but wasn’t feeling it, so changed into the wool Cos skirt I got from a charity shop this week.

  • pinafore dress - Tesco
  • wool jumper - LK Bennett via charity shop
  • skirt - Cos via charity shop
  • Boots TK Maxx

The jumper (wool) has shrunk a bit in the wash , despite having been washed before on the same setting ggggrrrrrrr

DH (who never comments on clothes) said the socks with the boots looks weird - what do you think??

You’ve got me looking at my coat collection now! It’s rainy and I’m bored!

I find I’ve collected coats over the years. I tend to buy good quality & styles that are not too “high fashion” - such as this year’s teddy coats - so they last and last. Many of my coats are over ten years old and many I got second hand.

I’ve got:

  • My “main” winter coat by Allegri from TK Maxx bought 7 years ago and still going strong. And it’s machine washable yay!!
  • Reiss wool coat, black speckled - charity shop bargain
  • Reiss black wool coat, EBay bargain, - over ten years old

-Jaeger navy wool coat - TK Maxx bargain

  • Topshop duffel coat - about ten years old
  • Lands End super thick coat - ugly but insanely warm so reserved for seriously cold days when I don’t care about looking stylish!!
  • mint Velvet parka - charity shop bargain recently
  • Whistles mac - charity shop bargain
  • Ralph Lauren short quilted jacket via TK Maxx - couple of years old
  • Reiss short wool coat - over 10 years old
  • black leather jacket from Religion - over ten years old
  • brown suede Dolce & Gabanna jacket - TK Maxx bargain
  • about 6 blazer / smart jackets from when I used to work in a very very corporate environment. Mainly from charity shops
  • couple of gillets
  • various outdoorsy rain jackets, sports jackets etc

I feel well enough to contemplate a little wander around town so we have a sitter booked for midday. And it's so nice to wear actual clothes after weeks of jogging bottoms! I have on
Jeans: brown soft cord jeans by current Elliot ( eBay bargain at £8 last winter!)
Thermal vest by M&S at least 20 years old
Jumper: hush Clara this season

I will wear comfy low suede ankle boots and add an ancient Hobbs padded gilet and a french convection puffa coat and cashmere gloves and hat( I feel the cold). DH has just whinged because I asked him to change out of filthy dog walking clothes to accompany me!

Hoping to get stocking fillers and have a light lunch if town not too busy and maybe even see the sea!
