A bit late as this was a few pages ago, but @28Dazedandconfused28 i really love that outfit on you, it really suits you.

I shop charity shop and ebay, only new things I need are black jeans (used are always faded) and some new trainers.
Two outfits from this week.
Old stripey jumper is debenhams, denim skirt is from topshop, tights are sainburys.
Second pic, star tights are from tights UK, skirt.. Not sure on skirt and jumper, both eBay finds and no labels.

@Ellapaella I'm a freelance musician so I do all sorts but yes lots of orchestra šŸ’•

cultkid · 11/01/2020 21:30

@Sooverthemill oh they look like some that I have and I love them but the brand has stopped making them!

Ellapaella · 11/01/2020 21:44

@timswifey so cool šŸ˜Ž what instrument/s do you play? (If you don't mind me asking)

Shannith · 11/01/2020 22:33

@happytobemrsg and I think @Ellapaella I just bought the Hush silver high tops because I love how they look on you.

I keep lurking and promising to post. If you'd like a daily shot of me in working from home, dog walking or riding gear?

I will at leat post photos of silver shoes. I love silver shoes and don't really have much use for them in sticksville but I love them so!

timswifey · 12/01/2020 08:07

@Ellapaella I'm a harpist 🄰

Sooverthemill · 12/01/2020 08:48

@cultkid well they are super comfortable and I'm sure you could get them from eBay.

@Shannith ooh yes, any real outfits are useful!

Hoping to get out today ( again, if DD well enough ) and am in clothes you've seen before!

Jumper: all saints
Jeans: jigsaw Hamptons
Shoes: Boden ( basically I wear backless loafers as slippers in the house!)

To go out will add suitable coat ( it's raining) and my new hush boots
Thoroughly enjoyed my fish and chips and glass of wine last night, first sip since Xmas day I think and I snuck in some secret chocolate I hid from DH

@timswifey when I was pregnant with DD our next door neighbour was in the chorus at Covent Garden and it was my joy to listen to her practice in the garden. She used to come round to use our piano as she didn't have one. She sang lots of songs from the Sound of Music at DDs welcoming and I have the fondest memories of her. I believe she is now Head of Music at a posh school and has twins. Her sister played the French Horn. I'm sure that is where DD got her love of music ( though gah DH plays piano and writes music as a hobby, he's not very good but loves it)

OublietteBravo · 12/01/2020 11:08

The harp is a very cool instrument to be able to play. I’m impressed (and a bit jealous).

I’m continuing to break in my new DMs. They’re already more comfortable than they were last weekend.

Top: Primark
Belt: Mint Velvet
Jeans: Gap
Boots: DMs

I’ll wear my Hobbs velvet jacket when I go out later. I may or may not remember to take another photo.

Uninspiring black jeggings and random grey asymmetric jumper. Been to watch ds play rugby and now off to watch dd play cricket so it's all about keeping warm!

timswifey · 12/01/2020 13:38

@Sooverthemill oh how lovely! I LOVE the Sound of Music. As a child I would watch the video over and over again.

Thanks @OublietteBravo 🄰

@Hoolajerry I like that jumper!

OublietteBravo · 12/01/2020 13:56

This time with the jacket

@timswifey very glamorous! I love the harp. I play piano but have always been envious of people who can play the flute and harp as my favourite price of music is Mozart's flute and harp concerto.
@Hoolajerry I really like your grey jumper and I keep admiring your DM's and having to tell myself I already have too many pairs of boots...
Today is a beautiful day. Started early with a walk on the beach, have taken the kids swimming and am just about to take the dog out again for walk number 2 and meet a friend with her dog. It's cool but no wind here so I'll just add a black scarf and black beanie for going out. Levi's jeans, harbour top from Joules and Allsaints cargo jacket.

Your jacket is beautiful @OublietteBravo and looks great with the DM's

mynameiscalypso · 12/01/2020 15:06

Is there space for another newbie? I really need to get better at wearing the clothes I actually have and not buying more especially as today is my last day of enhanced maternity pay (DS is nearly 5 months) and I've still got 7 more months of mat leave to get through! Said mat leave also means that I spend 90% of my time in gym wear on the off chance that I decide to do some exercise while DS naps. More often than not, this doesn't happen so there are vast swathes of my wardrobe which are going unused for no reason and I want to look a bit more pulled together. I have way too many clothes too and need to do a clear out but that's definitely a job for another day.

I'm also loving the high top chat; I'm just waiting for some converse ones to be delivered. I wore them in my youth (with bootcut jeans...) and am excited to try them again.

Ellapaella · 12/01/2020 15:40

Of course. Welcome @mynameiscalypso

timswifey · 12/01/2020 17:25

Top - Long Tall Sally

Loooove the jacket @OublietteBravo. I’m a sucker for velvet.

Welcome @mynameiscalypso!

Went to my parents this morning as it was my Dad’s birthday, then went out to lunch with DH & DC.

Sorry the pic is a bit dark.

@mynameiscalypso welcome!
@timswifey that's a nice treat! Enjoy. We went out for a little mooch, had coffee and watched insane surfers trying to stay upright! Sooo windy! I needed my hat

mynameiscalypso · 12/01/2020 20:40

Thanks for the welcome!

@happytobemrsg, I love the leather legging / high top combo!

KiteflyingKat · 12/01/2020 20:47

Hello everyone all looking lovely. No photos from me as I’ve been in cycling kit or slobbing about in a hoody. In the office tomorrow so will need to smarten up.
