I keep forgetting to take photos and now I'm in pyjamas already!

Today was jeans with a Seasalt patterned tunic over the top and a long navy cardigan from Sainsburys last year. And handknitted socks because it's freezing out there.

Hi Everyone,

I haven't been here in a while! Life got kind of intense! Glad to see all you lovely ladies continue to hold down the Fort.

Some fab outfits on the go here! I'm currently on the market for a Christmas day outfit.

Hi op! Nice to have you back Smile. Hope all is well.

I love planning my Christmas Day outfit!

I have a midi length, pleated skirt from New Look for Christmas Day. I'm planning to wear it with fishnetty / cable knitty tights from Asos, a black body suit, black, suede ankle boots with a block heel. Secondhand, black leather jacket, (I'll confirm that when I see it though...it's arriving soon from eBay- £20 including postage Shock).

Skirt is like this^^, but dark green.

Today I'm the same as yesterday but a different coloured tshirt.

Lightning bolt jumper, Debenhams, 14
Fat Face cord jeggings, 16

Evnin' all.

Today I have a pinny from Bravissimo- in 'super curvy' which suits my massive breasticles! I also have a seasalt stripy top and navy snag tights. All via a charity shop as usual!

Ooh I love that dress peachypips

Not been on for a bit ladies sorry, I’ve not worn anything I’ve not posted before I don’t think.

NancyEspana · 28/11/2019 19:52

I keep forgetting to take photos!

I'm in skinny jeans with knee boots and a merino v neck today (again) anyway, so you aren't missing much! I'll up my game tomorrow. I'm even going out for drinks in the evening, so I should make an effort.

TheSummoningDark · 28/11/2019 20:08

I forgot as well.
Pinafore dress earlier, with a plain red top.

Jeans & jumper now, went for a paddle walk.

bridgetreilly · 28/11/2019 21:39

I'm in my 'thin' jeans (size 18 but very stretchy) with a cream long sleeved top that has a lovely red floral print on it. Navy cardigan. Red raincoat and red mary-jane shoes.

My style is mostly 'grown up toddler' and I'm fine with that.

NancyEspana · 29/11/2019 10:39

Here I am in an ancient New Look pinafore. Excuse the wrinkles on it; I was about to send it to charity and then changed my mind at the last minute!

I'm wearing it with fleece lined leggings, (ancient front Long Tall Sally), a Uniqlo tshirt (this season), another tshirt underneath (Mountain Warehouse, last season), M&S hiking boots (this season) and Uniqlo, fairisle heattech socks on show.

@bridgetreilly, I am also partial to the overgrown toddler look! I have two pairs of Lucy and Yak dungarees, which wouldn't look out of place on a one year old and I also just rescued a pair of red Mary Janes from my charity pile!

Another Fat Face shirt today.
I'm wearing non stretch jeans for the first time in ages and wondering if I should have sized up to the 18.

Is anybody doing the Black Friday sales this year? I just picked up a striped top in Oliver Bonas instead of the dress I was going to order (because I couldn't make a decision).

I am making no comments about my sense of style, as I have neither style nor sense Grin.

Are the jeans quite new summoning? I reckon they'll stretch with a bit of wear. I bought jeans which fit me really well in Sainsbury's a few weeks ago and after a bit of wear they were enormous! I'm hanging on to them, because they're so new, but I'm not pleased with them and can't find the pesky receipt to try and return.

I am not doing any clothes shopping in the sales as I have bought so much recently. I have enough at the moment, which is something I never thought I'd say! The only thing I'm looking for is nappies, (we do cloth nappies and DS has just outgrown the birth to potty range I invested so much in 😭. Beautiful nappies, which we now can't use. He's not even two yet and not ready for the potty, but he's quite big, so I've sold my beloveds and am replacing them with the boring ones, which is all I can get in his size). Also, will look for some christmas gifts in sales. My sister likes clothes. She is a fit and toned, petite 12/14 I think, but very naturally curvy Envy. so I might look in bravissimo for her. I am the absolute opposite shape to her, so I quite like the novelty of shopping for that shape!

Lightuptheroom · 29/11/2019 13:31

Picked up some nice cord skirts at Laura Ashley.
Summoning - the jeans look good. We appear to be wearing the same socks!
Dress down day at work so in cords and a hoody.

TheSummoningDark · 29/11/2019 13:57

I think they'll be alright, I can do them up without breathing in and they don't give me a muffin top. It's the knees that feel tight. I'll persevere with them, I'm sure they'll give a bit.

Socks are thermal from M&S, essential for me at the moment. I forgot yesterday and my fingers and toes were a disturbing shade of blue when I got home. I've got pins & needles now and it's 21° at home. Bloody Raynaud's.

bridgetreilly · 29/11/2019 16:19

I have been lusting after a Sophia and Matt handbag for months, so I have bought one for 30% off in their Black Friday sale, but I don't need to look at clothes at the moment.

poorremus · 29/11/2019 19:05

I blame you all for the White Stuff denim pinafore that came through my letterbox this week. I will be debuting it tomorrowGrin

NancyEspana · 29/11/2019 19:17

Yay! Was that the one alias had on? Or was it summoning? Whoever it was, it was fab, so I'm not sorry we made you buy it mwahaha!

About to get ready for drinks out... a rare occurrence! Will post a pic in a bit and hopefully I won't look a disgrace.

NancyEspana · 29/11/2019 22:57

Here I am (or was?) in a New Look dress, snag tights, an m&s top and clarks mary janes. Lovely evening out Smile.

Oh sorry, the skirt is a new ebay purchase! Size 16, by someone called Mackay, secondhand.

Ilovethekitties · 30/11/2019 13:55

Hi ladies,

How are we all doing today??

I have on a black Friday Asos purchase that desperately needs an iron (38 weeks pregnant and I cba to do it atm). Its a maternity and a nursing dress which is super handy at £22.00. Product code: 1524727

Headband is another asos purchase (as I buy everything from there!) At £6.00! So a nice, cheap outfit today.

Have a good day everyone.

Nancy Mackay is now called M&Co
What are the sizes for uniglo?? I'm normally a 16, tried looking at size charts but no clue!

bridgetreilly · 30/11/2019 16:12

Cardigan: Sainsburys
Top: Boden, from ebay
Skirt: Boden, from ebay

I am particularly pleased because I bought the skirt last year and it was too small. Today is the first day I have worn it. It's gorgeous wool tweed, with a green and pink tartan pattern.

NancyEspana · 30/11/2019 16:18

@Lightuptheroom

I'm a 16 too and wear a L/XL at Uniqlo, depending on how I want it to fit.

Here I am ready for the opera. Dress code is smart casual...is this smart casual?

Block heel boots and pleated skirt (new look), body suit (asos) and ancient jacket from M&S with asos fishnetty tights.
