Jumper: Eileen Fisher new sale buy
Jeans: old jigsaw Richmond skinnies
Shoes: kurt Geiger very old

Later: boots from hush sale with Xmas present coat if it's raining, pink Boden coat if it's not! Cashmere hat and gloves ( all Boden sales years past)

Just got a pair of Puma trainers in the sale for £18. I bought them along with a pair of Gazelles on sale for my husband's birthday in June so kind of justifying breaking the no spend rule.

It’s really rather windy here today. I’ve been on the go for ages already. So far I’ve walked DS to school, done some exercise, and dropped some parcels at the post office. I’m currently having a well-earned coffee.

Jumper: Hush (new, but a Christmas present from my sister so I didn’t spend any money on it)
Jeans: Mint Velvet
High tops: Mint Velvet (yes - I cracked, but they were such good value and I love them)

@Sooverthemill I really like that jumper. It looks so cosy.

Ellapaella · 11/01/2020 11:44

Love the high tops @OublietteBravo

Sooverthemill · 11/01/2020 12:09

@Veronicat thank you! It's actually cotton but is very cosy. I love it and will get lots of wear from it I know.
DD too poorly to go out today so fingers crossed for tomorrow as sitter very kindly let me rearrange

Sooverthemill · 11/01/2020 12:10

@OublietteBravo I also ,like the high tops!

ememem84 · 11/01/2020 12:12

Navy skinnies - M&S
Mint velvet leopard jumper
Oasis bottle green wool coat (last season - this was an absolute bargain I got it in the sale last January used a voucher to pay for the majority of it and actually spent £16 on it!!)
Next tan ankle boots.

timswifey · 11/01/2020 12:58

Just popping on to say hi and tell you that you all look lovely.

I agree with all the chat about wanting some high-tops!

I'm also tempted to treat myself to some flares... they are coming back apparently and I used to love them when I was a child.

Might get some boho-inspired ones for summer and channel my inner-70s-child.

OublietteBravo · 11/01/2020 13:01

(Makes a note not to get rid of the flares that have been languishing in my wardrobe for over a decade)

Veronicat · 11/01/2020 13:15

Off to the hairdressers . Its horrendous weather here so I'm wearing my Dubarrys , Jean's, a jumper from Joules (when I de-fur it thanks to the ragdoll using it as a bed) and a red meranporth seasalt coat.

I saw a teenager in a pair of pink flares yesterday, she was wearing them with white trainers. My 18 year old stepdaughter has a bright red pair. It's going to take quite a bit of convincing for me to embrace them again but I look forward to seeing them when you get them @timswifey and how you style them.

shadesofwinter · 11/01/2020 13:33

Hi all, please may I join you?

I found this thread a few days ago and you've inspired me to try and get out of this rut of wearing the same old things all. The. Time...

Although it has also inspired me to order the Hush silver high tops and the green culottes so stylishly worn by @OublietteBravo 😬

Today I'm wearing the beautiful new Hush jumper that my lovely DM gave me for Christmas, with black jeans. Soon to be completed by walking boots as we head out for some fresh air.

@Sooverthemill are your shoes from seven feet apart in the post from December 18 ?

LadyBundleBrent · 11/01/2020 13:50

Ellapaella I have a weirdly appealing pair of ankle grazing frayed flares from mango 2 summers ago. Probably the most "fashiony" think I own. Maybe it's that they are black but with a pair of tan sandals in the summer they look good! Not sure my brain could cope with dressing winter flares.

Ellapaella · 11/01/2020 14:20

@LadyBundleBrent yes I have a cropped pair and agree they look good with sandals and summer footwear, I'm not sure how I'd make them work in colder months but am interested to see how others do it.

Softpebbles · 11/01/2020 14:23

Gym wear! Just back from a long and muddy walk. Need to hose my walking boots!

happytobemrsg · 11/01/2020 14:58

You kept the jumper @Sooverthemill! I love it! Sorry you didn’t get to go out today.

I love your coat @Ellapaella

I was supposed to go to the Post Office today @OublietteBravo but being lazy. Fab high tops!

2 pairs of trainers are still on my list. Wondering if the black Hush high tops would work since I already have black/leopard print normal trainers from last year which I love.

@shadesofwinter That's a lovely top. I have a star thing going on at the moment!

Sooverthemill · 11/01/2020 16:36

@kultkid are your shoes from seven feet apart in the post from December 18 ?

No, looking back they are from jigsaw. The Olivia ( not sure if they still do them, super comfy)

@LadyBundleBrent sorry your kids have been sick. My week has been tough too! We are going to have fish and chips and open a rare bottle of wine which we never do tonight to celebrate getting through with no ambulance trip!

LadyBundleBrent · 11/01/2020 16:47

soover now if that isn't a reason to celebrate I don't know what is! Enjoy every drop and bite. And the jumper looks really good too.

Yes if timswifey can share winter flare styling inspo I'm interested too!

Sooverthemill · 11/01/2020 17:09

@ladybundle thanks! It was bloody hairy at one point and GP who visited was a little bit cross I hadn't done so and I promised next time I would! DH was away and I just didn't know what to do for the best. I may even eat chocolate

timswifey · 11/01/2020 17:29

I might start with some plain black flares that I can wear when I have concerts (standard concert dress is all black) and I think flares would be more flattering than the wide leg palazzo pants I've been wearing for the past few years.
