Thanks all agree about shorter jumper but even with shorter jumper the look is not ā€œmeā€ at all ! I’m definitely more of a jeans or shorter / tighter skirt person. But it’s good to experiment & that’s one reason I love charity shops so much as I can try stuff I’m not sure about cheaply & without killing the planet.

@MrsG you look lovely but I hope you wore shoes not just the M&S socks Grin

KiteflyingKat · 09/01/2020 19:35

@Hoolajerry love that dress I’m jealous of the Newlife shop sounds great

KiteflyingKat We are very lucky although it has ruined me slightly as I can't bare to buy regular priced clothing. They do have branches in different towns so worth a google to see if one near you.

KiteflyingKat · 09/01/2020 21:57

@hoola I had a look but they are all in the Midlands & I’m near London.

To be fair we have excellent charity shops here and I’ve had some amazing finds. I also struggle to buy stuff full price and 95% of my wardrobe is from charity shops / eBay with bits from TK Maxx.

I’m wearing a jumper over a jumpsuit today. I’m not sure it really works - at least not on me. Perhaps I need a shorter jumper (but no spend)....

Jumper: Warehouse
Jumpsuit: Phase Eight
Shoes: Clarks

@Oubliette I think it looks great! Sometimes it takes a couple of wears to feel comfortable in a new thing( or way of wearing)
On TV this morning the bloke just asked what 'high tops' are @Ellapaella @happytobemrsg! @happy yours look great... glad you didn't spend £8000 on them like some of the total idiots interviewed

Today:
Jumper: H&M bought last year
Jeans: old jigsaw richmonds
Shoes: jigsaw Olivia old

Taking baby DD into my office to say hello and thanks for our generous gifts today. (I work in a team of 23 men and their response to maternity leave was chuck a load of money at a JL sales assistant and have her pick out all the things Wink) These m&s relaxed fit T-shirt’s are my new favourite thing, don’t lose shape or get holes in and only Ā£6 or so.

Ā£8000 Shock - who has that sort of money to spend on clothes?

I really like your jumper @Sooverthemill

Ellapaella · 10/01/2020 09:08

Nice trainers happy SmileWink

Ellapaella · 10/01/2020 09:09

Love the look happy
Everyone's outfits are lovely, soover love the jumper too.

Ellapaella · 10/01/2020 09:09

Ā£8000 on high tops??

Sooverthemill · 10/01/2020 09:12

Yes! I think they were high tops they didn't look very nice to me....the segment which I saw ( very unusually for me to catch the news but I confess I wanted to see more of the H&M debacle) was about the economics of 'athleisurewear'. People buy trainers straight on release day then zoom to specialist shops and sell at a huge profit! Who knew? And there were so many at well over £1000.

Sooverthemill · 10/01/2020 09:13

Thanks for the jumper live, it has 5% alpaca so I'm finding it slightly itchy but have taken an antihistamine and am hoping I will get used to it as I live it too

Sooverthemill · 10/01/2020 09:15

They also had the cellist from H&Ms wedding and I just bought his new album 'Elgar' for DH as an anniversary present ( later this month 21 years yikes). It's so beautiful

Dazedandconfused28 · 10/01/2020 09:57

Love your dress down look @happytobemrsg! So tempted by high tops now....damn chunky legs!

I had an extra half hour in bed, as wasn't on nursery drop off, but also resulted in having to throw an outfit together & scramble around for clean bits to wear:

Jumper - White Company

  • it has a key hole back & ties with a bow, I love it, but not looking great with my thermal vest underneath!

Jacket - H&M

Jeggings- Uniqlo

Trainers - Russell & Bromley

Scarf - Zara
