Looking forward to seeing all the lovely outfits we can make by shopping our wardrobes. I’m day one of my no spend & pretty pleased with myself šŸ˜‚

I live the tights too! They are very lively. I changed my top, decided not to keep the Boden one as it's too long in the body ( I can send it back as I had only tried it in a couple of times and still had labels on). Stopped s top instead and feel sooo much better. Loved the colour of the other one but I'm little and it was just too long. Shame but hey ho

@Sooverthemill that pink jumper looked lovely on you. Showed off your figure beautifully.

I have the jigsaw Olivia trainers. Mine aren’t that comfy. I think I needed half a size bigger!

@happytobemrsg The no spend isn’t going to well is it šŸ˜‚

Lovely outfits. I’ve nothing nice on so won’t report!

Sooverthemill · 07/01/2020 11:52

@softpebbles, do you think so? I just wasn't sure. I can actually post it back until Friday anyway as DH away now back at work. I did get lots of refunds back today thank goodness as I always worry stuff will get lost in the post

Sooverthemill · 07/01/2020 12:03

@Softpebbles my jigsaw Olivia are so comfy now. I think it took a few wears with thick socks for them to get 'worn in'. The whistles ones I have in today are definitely going to be comfortable but this is only my second time wearing them so a little hard in one place. I can only wear comfy shoes!

Moonfacebiggins · 07/01/2020 13:09

Everyone is looking fabulous today. @Talisin I love your outfit. I wear something very similar but not thought about a blazer/ more fitted jacket with it so I'm going to steal that idea.

@Sooverthemill I think that pink top looks lovely on you too but it's whether you feel comfy in it that matters.

@Dazedandconfused28 you look gorgeous! Those tights are definitely not naff! I have them and they do perk up simple outfits I agree.

@OublietteBravo you look lovely. I have a very similar skirt that you have inspired me to dig out.

No picture today as no one needs to see me in my trackies bottoms, old t shirt with reindeer on and baggy cardigan!

Oh and Sooverthemill I too think the pink top really suited you

Sooverthemill · 07/01/2020 20:55

Thank you everyone. I like the colour but it is really long! I will have another go before sending it back

Talisin · 08/01/2020 08:34

@Talisin - I love that skirt. Such a great combination of colours.

I’ve dug out a really old pair of work trousers (from 2014ish). My conclusion is that they still fit, but I either need to get them shortened or go back to wearing them with heels if I’m going to keep them.

Jumper: Hobbs (old)
Trousers: Ted Baker (old)
Shoes: Clarks (recent - from the sale)

@talisin love the skirt
@OublietteBravo
Testing out new coated jeans today. I don't often wear very skinny skinnies ( more slim) but I bought these sent them back and then grieved so I reordered.

Cardigan: warehouse sale end of year
T shirt : Tesco ( so has to be 2012 or older)
Jeans: Boden black waxed super skinny new sale buy
Trainers: Stan smiths old

Btw if anyone is a size 8 I am going to be selling a whole load of perfectly good jeans that I just don't wear ( hush and Boden mainly I think) PM me otherwise I will eBay/ Facebook them ( is that allowed?)

I sort of have new clothes. I say sort of because they’re new to me. But they are a necessity.

I’ve been after a second paid of jodhpurs first a while. My riding instructor had a pair of waterproof ones which don’t fit. So she gave them to me to try. I’ll give her some cash for them at the weekend.

I feel a bit silly in leathery pants. But. Necessary.

Dazedandconfused28 · 08/01/2020 10:31

Love that shirt ememem84!

So technically a lot of these were sales purchases...but am not buying any more! Not at work today, so finally get to wear something more comfy!

Sweater - Whistles Sale
Jeggings - Uniqlo (jeans don't seem to fit post c section Hmm)
Trainers - Russell and Bromley Sale
Bag - Estella Bartlett in Topshop

Can I join plesse?! Hoping for a low spend 2020 - bras (once my boobs and weight have completely settled post breastfeeding #2), new trainers and replacements (e.g. new spotty tights for an outfit rather than a new outfit!!). My husband has been drafted in to police...went a bit mad when I got back to my normal size and I have plenty of nice clothes to wear. Not to mention then endless consumption makes me feel a bit sick and stressed...

First attempt at posting photo, so please bear with me while I figure out how...

Dress is navy from cos (favourite shop) and trainers are Ash

Sooverthemill · 08/01/2020 10:49

@ladybundle welcome! I find photos very challenging too but yours is fine. Nic eoiytfit. Good luck with no spend I'm struggling

LadyBundleBrent · 08/01/2020 10:54

Thanks! Not sure how COS will photograph since its all so simple but it's the little details like the rolled collar and sleeves which I love.

Oooh I understand. I love clothes!

Softpebbles · 08/01/2020 11:02

@Sooverthemill I’d be interested in hush jeans. Have never had Boden ones. X

Lovely outfits. I’m wearing an oasis mini to today and had lots of nice skirt comments. It’s at least 3 years old!

Just a quick post as at work 🤫

ememem84 · 08/01/2020 12:06

Been to the accupuncturist. On my way out someone stopped me and said they loved me outfit

Hoolajerry · 08/01/2020 12:08

Have a poorly dc so an unexpected day at home for me. Spent doing jobs so not looking glam.

Dark brown jumper (unknown brand. I like it as it's fitted at the top but flares out which suits me)
Black skinny jeggings (unknown)
Dr martens boots

Still finding no spend difficult. I almost slipped up and bought some more clothes whilst I was processing a return. But I came to my senses and deleted everything out of my basket. I do not need any more clothes, I do not need any more clothes, I do not need any more clothes....
