I love Junarose alias. I've had some really lovely things from there.

Trying for about the four hundredth time today to post my outfit photo! It was our staff Christmas meal, but I also had to trek to London for a long meeting first, so it's not super glam, but it is a bit sparkly.

Sequin jumper: Sainsburys
Jersey dress: Weird Fish
Scarf: Handmade by me

Shopping trip and nice lunch today up north and heavy rain forecast all day in terms clothing and practicalities what would be best (Knee length skirt & tights n boots or trousers n boots) my jacket is only bum length?

TheSummoningDark · 05/12/2019 07:42

Daddylonglegs you've probably sorted it out by now. Looks wet but warmer than it has been, so I'd be tempted by tights because they'll dry more quickly.

Great outfits everyone. Hope you had a good Christmas meal bridget.

Good news Alias. Hope you managed to get some sleep.

Daddylonglegs1965 · 05/12/2019 08:05

Oasis shirt.

Daddylonglegs enjoy your trip. Just realised I made it sound like I was up in Scotland. I'm not, I've just been overinvested in the weather up there.

NancyEspana · 05/12/2019 10:04

Lovely outfits^^!

Enjoy your lovely trip out daddylonglegs! I'm Envy.

Out to the shops for groceries now and then tidying up my house. Dh is out tonight for work party and dc1 has an after school activity. So a fairly ordinary day here.

Here I am, trying to dress down my pleated satin skirt from New Look! With Merry and Bright top from Tu, Next cardi and DM Joy Lynns.

I love how you stand on your loo GrinGrinGrin

NancyEspana · 05/12/2019 11:52

Grin rouge. All fun and games till I go through it 😂😂😱😱.

Sprinklemetinsel · 05/12/2019 20:18

I'm back, having been wearing very boring clothes.

Can you stylistas advise me? Hotter is having a sale. I need flat comfy shoes and boots, with a good squidgy soles.

I don't rate my shoe taste- it doesn't seem to align with anyone else's!

What should I get? Can you look for me? It's not a huge range.

Sprinklemetinsel · 05/12/2019 20:22

Sorry, this is the link.

There's a few I like, but I can't decide!

Daddylonglegs1965 · 05/12/2019 20:48

Love your skirt Nancy. Had a lovely day all thanks.
Sprinkle I have got bad feet and DH who would love me to totter around in 6 inch heels and be 6’6’ says I have got terrible taste in shoes. I have an old pair of Hotter boots but I wore my newer Joseph Siebel boots today which were super comfy and warm for an all day shopping trip.

NancyEspana · 05/12/2019 21:06

Not sure if I'm stylish enough to advise you, but I really like the Pixie boots, sprinkle.

Sprinklemetinsel · 05/12/2019 21:12

You're def stylish! Thank you-

I've decided after a lot of mental anguish to go into the shop kn a couple of weeks. I need to try things on, I think. Even if I end up making a note of what's comfy, and waiting for another sale!

TheSummoningDark · 05/12/2019 21:46

I'm definitely not best placed to advise either, but I do have experience of these.

I have some of the Whisper ankle boots in purple suede. They aren't my favourite boots in terms of style but they are really comfortable. I had to size down a half size in them, they are quite wide.

I tried on the Pixie boot at the same time. They were a slightly narrower fit. I think I preferred the style (they didn't have my size in the colour).

If you're not set on leather, it might be worth looking at heavenly feet as well. They have memory foam soles. There might be sales in some stockists. Main site is

TheSummoningDark · 05/12/2019 21:58

Aargh, advise others, not either.

RougeVinEtFromage · 06/12/2019 11:02

Maybe at a push I'd wear the Tenby boots, but non of the others I'm afraid. It is a comfy flat boot your looking for? Ankle?

RougeVinEtFromage · 06/12/2019 11:07

Today I'm wearing a comfy outfit, jumper from primark and velour bottoms are ancient juicy coutures! Must get changed later though as I have a wreath making class 🤷🏻‍♀️

@RougeVinEtFromage I'm not fussy, I just want to walk for half an hour without feeling pain! I'm quite happy to fit the rest of wardrobe around them, if I have to! I'd probably happily get a pair of ankle boots and a pair of shoes. I'll go and look at the Tenby.

I saw some nice red Mary Jane's today and am trying to calculate how I'd make them work!

NancyEspana · 06/12/2019 15:02

Love it summoning! Such a great pinafore.

Love your trousers too rouge!

Here I am in Gap GF Jeans, DM Joy Lynns, Uniqlo tee and a M&S vest underneath.

tinsel I have red Mary Jane's and think they look great with jeans and dresses. Sadly not my beloved dungarees though as I really look like a toddler in the two together Xmas Grin.

Sprinklemetinsel · 06/12/2019 15:14

What do you do about socks? I wear black socks with my black MJs, I'd be happy with no socks in the summer, but what about winter?
