YY, I know what you mean about the bottomless cardis @thisonehasalittlecar!

I have one with buttons from Next, but it's a very fine knit, rather than cosy, snuggly. I actually got mine from eBay, but I think they do them every season there as I've had a couple of similar ones now.

Soft play was fun. Removing ds from soft play was not Halloween Hmm.

I remember those days Nancy, mine is much older now, nearly uni age!
So cold today, re. Cardigan with buttons do primark have them?

AliasGrape · 19/11/2019 12:06

Love that shirt dress Nancy.

Next trousers and Dorothy Perkins jumper both 18. Boring but practical

Ilovethekitties · 19/11/2019 12:28

@AliasGrape you look absolutely gorgeous!

woogal · 19/11/2019 12:28

@AliasGrape you look beautiful

Myshitisreal · 19/11/2019 13:03

😍🥰🥰🤩 That wedding dress is beautiful and so flattering. Just beautiful 👌

TheSummoningDark · 19/11/2019 14:15

That dress looks amazing on you Alias.

Lightuptheroom · 19/11/2019 14:45

Amazing dress. Why are some of the other threads so bitchy?? Think I'll stay here!

AliasGrape · 19/11/2019 15:56

Thanks everyone, I love it!

NancyEspana · 19/11/2019 16:03

Oh no @Lightuptheroom! Yes, mumsnet can be mental. You need a thick skin to even comment on some threads!

Lightuptheroom · 19/11/2019 16:16

Lol Nancy, I know, just wasn't expecting it on a style and beauty thread, at least all of you appreciate charity shops

NancyEspana · 19/11/2019 16:19

The Style & Beauty threads can get surprisingly vicious! And have you ever been on baby names? Yikes Halloween Shock.

Peachypips78 · 19/11/2019 16:20

Beautiful dress Alias!!!!

Also feeling the love for the red dress and lipstick from yesterday.

Lightuptheroom · 19/11/2019 16:20

Nope, thankfully my ds is nearly 18, I'm sure any thoughts I had would be way out of date lol

Peachypips78 · 19/11/2019 17:39

Which style and beauty thread got nasty?

I agree thick skin is needed- it's part of the charm of Mumsnet as welll as being a downfall sometimes!

Myshitisreal · 19/11/2019 17:43

My charity shop find 5 quid bargain. Can't find the brand online though 🤔.Will wear with the boots and thick tights. Not sure about top as the bib comes up high. Alias how will you wear your hair 😍

@thisonehasalittlecar re longline buttoned cardigans. I think Matalan, TU and Simply Be had some. I had more success online searching for 'boyfriend cardigan'.

thisonehasalittlecar · 19/11/2019 20:48

Thanks, will check out and report back!

TheSummoningDark · 20/11/2019 10:26

Doing jobs at home today so

Ancient Vintage Iron Maiden long sleeve t shirt, mens xl from a gig in 1995.
Old Next kick flares.
The skechers trainers I wear at home due to lego caltrops left by DS.

I'll pass on the picture for obvious reasons.

Myshitisreal · 20/11/2019 11:54

NancyEspana · 20/11/2019 12:21

Not sure if you can see the pic very well, but I'm in:

Sainsbury's, GF jeans, 16, this season
Sainsbury's, teal long sleeved tshirt, 18, this season
Uniqlo, red merino v neck jumper, XL, this season
Asos, flatform trainers, 7, old
Uniqlo, fairisle heattech socks on show, this season

Comfy and warm, rather than stylish, but hey ho.

Myshitisreal 🤘

I have a few Maiden t shirts. Some fit better than others. This one makes me look like a little girl who has borrowed her dad's clothes! Liked the boots you posted yesterday.

Nancy you look warm and stylish.

Want need more footwear. Spent my clothing budget for a while. Will have to live vicariously through you all.

Ilovethekitties · 20/11/2019 13:13

I'm feeling dotty today! Please ignore the stain on the front from my baked beans this morning 😂

Dress is a nursing one and is only £17.50 currently! Bargain!

Headband was £1 from Primarni. Hope everyone has a nice day! I have the heating on full force!
