I’m not looking. Absolutely not looking.

Hoolajerry · 08/01/2020 22:02

I don't think i can get away with high tops. I havs short legs which are quite muscular but definitely chunky. My ankles are quite slim though but if you take them out then I have definite tree trunks!
I am really coveting these trainers:

Can't justify them at the moment though!

happytobemrsg · 08/01/2020 22:08

Thanks Ella. They felt good tight. Looking forward to wearing them Friday (weather permitting). Might even be doing double denim too 😜

Oh I love high tops, but am also afflicted with stumpy, thick calves! I bought some lovely pink suede MV trainers last year, but being only 5ft they look like flippers on me. Ideals of love to be able to pull off DMs - but think the same would apply- any suggestions on shoes for a stumpy person much appreciated!

Sooverthemill · 09/01/2020 07:30

these are the ones I coveted for quite a while then realised I do not need them ( unless they go onto brand alley for £30!)

Sooverthemill · 09/01/2020 08:29

So today I am miserable because it's raining and I've had a very tough week with DD ( who is much better I think).

Jumper: hush AW 19
Jeans: old banana republic
Shoes: kurt Geiger
Necklace: posh totty

It’s sunny here - although I think the forecast is for more rain this evening. I’m wearing a mixture of old and new today (I bought the culottes in the Black Friday sale as an outfit for my trip to Iceland). I’m not sure whether the outfit is better with the top tucked in or not - what do you think?

Top: Karen Millen (old, 2015?)
Culottes: Phase Eight (AW 2019; 50% off)
Boots: Moda in Pelle (old, 2010?)

Tucked in. Imo. How come we always get the rain?

Ellapaella · 09/01/2020 09:18

@OublietteBravo tucked in šŸ‘Œ
You look great, I love those cropped trousers

LadyBundleBrent · 09/01/2020 09:20

Love your outfit oubliette - is it navy and black together? My favourite colour combination.

I think I like the top out! I'm in your line of work too (in house legal) but on mat leave at the moment. I'm enjoying the inspo for when I return though I'm taking the full year and then some. I'd love some boots to wear with cullottes like yours...But....no spend.

These are the ones I love:

Today is a day of dog walking (in the rain 😄) and various jobs I've been meaning to do for ages. Going to order some new carpet for my front room, need to buy a new laundry basket (thrilling stuff!) and then meeting a friend for coffee this afternoon.
Today I'm wearing Hush jumper, Gap jeans and the Hush high tops.

I love those culottes oubliettebravo - so tempted to make a trip to Phase Eight...I must resist.

Mmm not feeling so great about my outfit now...the jumper is one I spotted Meghan Markle in last year in another colour & fell in love with - whilst obviously it looks great on her, I am not blessed with the same figure & probably should not have kept it! Ah well.

Jumper - All Saints
Jeggings - Uniqlo
Boots - Aldo

@LadyBundleBrent - they’re actually dark green. But I can’t seem to take a photo that accurately represents that (they are these ones).

LadyBundleBrent · 09/01/2020 09:58

Lovely! I love the boots too.

And I'm sorry your feeling miserable soover and have had a tough week. I can't imagine what it is like being a carer but on a much lighter note, you look v stylish today in your darker hues.

Today's outfit. Tonne of boring jobs inside and walking the dog, so it's allbirds trainers (to be changed for hiking boots), me&em joggers (sale) and asos grey t.

Ellapaella · 09/01/2020 10:39

@Dazedandconfused28 you look lovely - I really like that jumper on you.

KiteflyingKat · 09/01/2020 13:55

Well I tried out jumper over midi-dress again. I don’t like the look on myself, despite liking it on others. It widens me and I feel frumpy. So I’ll be saving the dresses for summer with sandals.

  • dress - Oliver Bonas (charity shop)
  • jumper - Whistles (charity shop)
  • Boots - TK Maxx

I do like your loafers @Sooverthemill. Lovely.

Great outfit @OublietteBravo

That jumper looks amazing on you @Dazedandconfused28. I have serious jumper envy!

@KiteflyingKat I think the only problem is the jumper is too long. You either need a more cropped version or add a skinny belt to the dress, tuck the jumper in, then pull it through to make the jumper more cropped. There’s a tutorial online somewhere. Lovely dress though.

Today I’m wearing the mumsnet New Look dress Grin

@KiteflyingKat I wore a midi dress with a jumper over today. Although it was on and off all day šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

I’m rubbish at pictures!

Sooverthemill love your jeans. Been looking for some like that.
KiteflyingKat agree with happytobemrsg you could definitely wear that look with the right jumper.

Work day today.
Dress (unknown from Newlife although was £15 and feels expensive so must be a decent brand, no idea what though. Anyone seen it about?)
Boots: Rocket Dog
Black tights

@hoola thank you! They are really old, possibly 5 years old from banana republic online. Hush did a similar pair a few years ago. I do like them a lot!
