What are you wearing today? Countdown to Christmas

[Ellapaella]

Hello all

Outfit #2. Time for dinner. Only in the hotel restaurant this evening. Dress code: smart casual.

Jumper: Boden
Silk trousers: Jigsaw
Boots: Dune

I love those trousers @OublietteBravo

Love love love your sequins @Talisin

@Sooverthemill SBS do glasses analysis - might be useful? The before & after pics on FB are really good

Great day back at work! Felt very confident. Please excuse the toilet photo

Looking good @happytobemrsg and glad you had a good first day back.

I ordered some trousers for Zara - not sure whether to keep...

I must have missed that thread!! I’m a size 10-12 😮

Love them on you @Ellapaella

Glad the first day back went well @mrsg

So glad the first day went well @happytobemrsg. No judgement here, you have to do what feels right for you and your family, I was definitely very ready to go back after maternity leave. 2 days a week sounds perfect 

Love your sequin skirt @Talisin and your t-shirt @Sooverthemill. @KiteflyingKat I think you always look fab. Those trousers are lovely. I like your trousers too @Ellapaella and they look great on you. I can't cope with the idea of bare ankles at this time of year! I did brave shoes instead of boots today though - I was feeling brave 😂

D'oh I meant @OublietteBravo's trousers are lovely - love your outfits too though @KiteflyingKat

Oh I like those shoes @PalacePaper

@happytobemrsg I’m glad your first day back went well. I went back to work after maternity leave when DD was 5.5 months old and when DS was 9 months old (I had to find a new job as I was made redundant). I definitely wasn't cut out to stay at home with the kids. In fact I still remember how amazing it was to have an adult conversation and drink an entire cup of tea whilst it was still warm.

I like those trousers on you @Ellapaella.

Outfit #1 for today. I have a conference session (dress code: smart casual) before I go out into the wilds later this morning.

Base layer: Hobbs
Shirt: Boden
Jeans: Gap
Trainers: Jigsaw

You look lovely @OublietteBravo - that shirts is great. What will you be doing out in the wilds? Sounds exciting!

I’ve bought quite a lot over the last year. Mainly due to being on mat leave and browsing the charity shops loads and also needing to replace stuff where body changed post-baby.
I’m considering no spend in 2020 - maybe for a few months? Anyone else?

The trousers look good, @Ellapaella Keep em if you have the room.

Today I am sparkly on the top half:

Gunmetal Becca jumper (Phase Eight)
Wide leg Camila trousers (Finery London)
Boots (DM)

@KiteflyingKat I'm with you! I have too much stuff and not enough time or occasions to wear it all! I really want to try a no spend for at least a few months of 2020.

I’m definitely aiming for a no spend January to hopefully stop myself from buying things in the sales which I don’t actually need!

Lovely outfits everyone. I've spent a small fortune in the last 15 months going from no clothes to far too many. But I'm going to get wear out of everything and purge purge purge. My main 'need' now is trainers. I've actually emailed a blogger to ask if she would do a piece on different trainer styles! Looking in sakes at cafe last, mint velvet and Hobbs but no idea really. Want a black/grey/ navy pair for winter to go with jeans etc. Kicking myself for sending back the jigsaw ones @OublietteBravo wears!

Anyway today I'm most stylish
Jumper: all saints BF ( with total credit to @Ellapaella)
Jeans: ancient Frame
Shoes: as ever kurt geiger

Just read an article in who what wear and this is how I'm going to be dressing this winter (hint, I'm lying)

I’ve done a complete clothes overhaul in the last 6 months so I have spent a small fortune. Luckily most of my clothes come from New Look or H&M. I’ve got a personal shop in March so I really want to have a no spend rest of December/January/February.

Still in my pjs. Not feeling great as DS1 was a nightmare when I got home from work, then I had to feed DS2 as DH had to work & before I knew it, it was 9:30 and I hadn’t eaten dinner. So feeling weak and yucky this morning. Hoping to make breakfast soon & then put the Christmas tree up

My leopard print Joanie dress is arriving today. I bought it in 2 sizes. I’m looking forward to seeing it!

@Ellapaella I do love the trousers. I think you should keep them

Outdoor gear on (with and without coat). Snow today.

@Oubliette love the coat! Not so keen on snow but I guess it's Iceland! Did you see Rick Steins weekend break show in Iceland? Was brilliant. I did Old Norse as part of my degree and always wanted to go!
