Oh my Mint Velvet haul arrived!! Absolutely LOVE the faux leather leggings. So comfy. For those who already have them @Ellapaella I think)? Do they wear well? Should I buy another pair for back up? I can see me getting so much wear out of them. Also very happy with the oversized white shirt, black jumpsuit & gold lariat necklace (perfect for breaking up high necklines for this hourglass).

Racheyg · 28/10/2019 19:47

@happytobemrsg yes it is. I have so many of their bits. 😁

Racheyg · 28/10/2019 19:48

I love the black/leopard print reversible @happytobemrsg

Hoolajerry · 28/10/2019 20:23

happytobemrsg there are a few New Lifes' around. The biggest one is in Cannock. If you are ever in that direction it is well worth a visit. I have a lot of whistles, mint velvet and super dry stuff which is a from there.

@peaceanddove love the sound of your outfit, do you have a link to the All Saints cardigan please?

twosoups1972 · 28/10/2019 22:01

Is it the drina ribbed cardigan @peaceanddove?

goose1964 · 28/10/2019 22:05

I went into town to buy some Hallowe'en stuff so I wore navy spotted harem pants, gold trainers old but pretty next t-shirt and an old purple Jersey cardi.

peaceanddove · 29/10/2019 08:27

I'm not sure twosoups1972. It might not be because it has a row of small buttons all down one side and it hangs asymmetrically.

Talisin · 29/10/2019 08:29

Have the cold from hell and back to work :(

@Sooverthemill I remember Haircut 100! Loved me a bit of Nick Haywood, back in the day.

@happytobemrsg sorry I am only just catching up with thread as I've been away and just saw your question about the MV leggings. I got mine maybe about a year ago and they still look fine, I don't wear them an awful lot but they do seem to wash ok etc.

@happytobemrsg, that jumper looks so cosy, I love it! Smile

Can I also ask how you put your outfit pictures together (like the one in the post above)?

Thank you for starting this new thread Ella

Today, I’m wearing dark blue spanx jeggings (jean-ish is the model, I think - they’re lovely), white t-shirt from Asos and white, blue and black patterned cardigan from Bottega Veneta.

When out (for long walk with dog and baby in pram), I was also wearing a khaki Hush jacket, Burberry scarf in black and purple tones, and Timberland boots.

@happytobemrsg love the green jumper, where is it from?

littlepooch · 29/10/2019 16:37

Hello!

Today I'm in Top shop Jamie jeans, grey slogan sweatshirt from h&m and my Stan smiths. Popped my new black teddy bear coat from Zara when I went out earlier and I am in love! I went to a crafting thing with my eldest so was worried about paint etc going on a nicer top.

Those with the MV leather leggings - true to size? I have v skinny legs (shame rest of me isn't) so wondering if I should size down?

historysock · 29/10/2019 16:44

Can I join please? I've had a few rubbish years where I lost interest in dressing nicely and looking after myself-something that had previously been important to me. I feel like I'm just getting my mojo back a bit... Tb is thread will help keep me motivated I hope Smile. Plus I love seeing everyone's outfits...

I have a black cord pinafore dress on today from Joy the store, over a jumper from Oliver Bonas (nice autumny stripes and a bit of sparkle which is not like me at all), thick black tights and chunky low heeled boots.

Hello all.
Fab outfits from you all! @Talisin, where is your dress from? It's lovely.
I'm wearing a TU pinafore, organic cotton tee from Dorothy Perkins, black opaques and blowfish boots. Wore my new teddy coat when I ventured out, it did the job...it was bitter today! 🥶

Some great outfits, keep them coming!

I’ve been at work today.

  • Jacket - Whistles, via charity shop
  • Blue jersey dress - Jersey Dress Company
  • Shoe-boots - M&S

I’m re-thinking my work wardrobe a bit. I have a lot of these jersey type dresses but I’m not sure if my work style (ie tight dress with heels) is a bit dated? Honest opinions appreciated Grin

KiteflyingKat · 29/10/2019 17:41

Sorry the picture would help..

@happytobemrsg I’m also interest in the style book app. Is it easy to set up? I’m not sure I fancy having to photo & edit pictures of all my clothes.....
