@moominfan, that's a very photogenic backdrop you have there... not quite like my cluttered bedroom.

Does someone take the pics for you? I haven't yet managed a pic that was in focus and properly lit.

picklemepopcorn · 13/11/2019 21:48

And yes, fabulous cheekbones too!

NancyEspana · 13/11/2019 21:57

Oh @Moominfan, that jumper was a steal! Love it. Looks fab with the skirt and agree, you have an amazing bone structure. I also love the decor behind you. God I want to redecorate my house.

Love the pictures today, especially @NowWeSuckingDiesel Halloween Grin. You definitely win the "who wore it better" there.

Moominfan · 13/11/2019 22:08

It's the only painted wall in my house so far. I just set my phone to a timer and prop it up on the kitchen side x

picklemepopcorn · 14/11/2019 08:12

Right. Thank you Moominfan.

I am determined to live my life better- everyone else is 'adulting' better than me! Grin

You rock a cuffed jean, Nancy! :) I'm heading out soon to look for some ankle boots, and some Chelsea boots are tempting me.

Moominfan · 14/11/2019 09:53

Lovely outfit summoning! I love your necklace!

Lightuptheroom · 14/11/2019 12:16

Summoning... what waist measurement is fat Face for a 16 please

TheSummoningDark · 14/11/2019 13:04

Lightuptheroom The website says a 16 is 33 1/2 inches on the waist and 44 on the hips but the outside of the waistband is 40 inches. They are Westbury mid rise slim leg, but they also do other fits.

The website isn't helpful so I've just taken them off and measured them. I could probably have gone down to a 14, but I like to put things in my pockets. Tbh, I measure between a 16 and an 18 in the hips and I can take them off without undoing them.

I often find the sizing is quite generous in there, to the extent that I've sized down in tops to a 12 occasionally, and I haven't been that size for 20-odd years. I think they only do regular leg, but it's long on me at 5'7.

TheSummoningDark · 14/11/2019 13:09

I don't work for them, honestly! Although the staff in my local one know me by name Blush.

Lightuptheroom · 14/11/2019 13:14

Lol, love their stuff, so will have a look round when they have a sale, particularly like their bags

TheSummoningDark · 14/11/2019 13:20

I have no comment on the bags.

I should have stayed away from the mid season sale.

Love it!

Peachypips78 · 14/11/2019 16:50

Moomin - I feel like you are my charity shop sister!

Got an amazing jacket for work this week for £6 and a dress for 4.50.

Love the fabric that bag is made from. Would make a nice skirt or dress.

sandandc · 15/11/2019 03:16

Moving back to the UK today from somewhere very warm and really feeling down about winter and winter clothes but your posts have helped inspire me about shopping so thank you all you lovely ladies Smile
@cerys you mentioned outdoor clothes to watch son play rugby...I would welcome some suggestions of what and where to get as it'll be me on the football sidelines..

NancyEspana · 15/11/2019 08:10

Ah sorry to hear you're having to leave the sunshine behind @sunandc! It's not so bad here. There's always Brexit to look forward to 😂😂😂😭😭😭.

Ahem, sorry.

Here I am in leather hiking boots (this season M&S - 7), this season Sainsbury's skirt (20) and an ancient jumper. Not my finest hour, but it's vaguely pudsey colours for CiN!
