I’m going to the theatre for a matinee performance later. In the meantime I’m at the climbing wall watching DD climb. It’s very cold here - I have thermal leggings on underneath my trousers.

Jumper: Hush
Trousers: Hobbs
Shoes: Doc Martens

The photo doesn’t really show the pattern on the trousers (they’re velvet) or the colour of the jumper (it’s quite sparkly). So I’ve added close-ups.

Hello new people. Love your look (and your bedroom! @happytobemrsg

Today wearing my all time favourite jumper from zara with river island hot pants and black tights from m and s.

Hi everyone. @oubliettebravo I love your sparkly jumper Smile

I started the day in jeans and a sweatshirt (and a very big coat - brrrr) to watch DS play football – but somehow ended up covered in mud Confused Now changed into dress from Dorothy Perkins, fleecy tights from Aldi, jumper from monsoon and DMs.

@KiteflyingKat, thank you. 😊 They're very comfy. The Alexa trousers come up big so depends what fit you'd like. I'm a 10-12 and mine are the mediums as that was all that was in stock in the grey when I ordered. The brown were second-hand and have obviously shrunk a bit in the wash, so fit more like a small now. They're cotton so do get creased so probably would need ironing, although I'm lazy, hate ironing and prefer a more relaxed, slouchy look so I tend to just hang them up to dry and that gets rid of enough of the creases for me (don't tumble dry them unless you want to drastically shrink them). I'd probably say to go for the small if they're in stock as they are very oversized.

Dressed for boring Saturday morning chores today, like the food shop and a Post office run.

Jeggings - M&S
Top - Raspberry Republic
Boots - same as ever. I pretty much solely wear these. My DMs turned up today. Going to try them later. Then I'll probably wear only them. Creature of habit. šŸ˜‚
Coat - Banana Republic

I'm off riding later so will be ending my day in scruffs!

@Talisin I really like the look of your outfit with the hush ruched skirt. I also have that skirt in black and in green and have never really figured out how to wear it with boots so don't get as much wear from them as I'd like, but I'm wondering now if I should give it a go with my DMs...

@cathyandclare your skirt today is gorgeous - I have definite skirt envy! I think we may have similar taste in skirts Smile

Softpebbles · 25/01/2020 14:41

Some lovely outfits.

Sorry you aren’t feeling well @happytobemrsg hope you are feeling better soon.

@PalacePaper I like the trainers with tights and denim skirt, one to try. Other outfits great too.

Coated skinnies - RI
Blonde T-shirt
Gazelles.

Have been cleaning mostly and will be going to the supermarket at some point!

@Sooverthemill mine arrive on Monday. I managed to get an 8. I need to sell my blue 10’s! They look nice. X

Ellapaella · 25/01/2020 14:53

Lovely outfits today everyone
Cathy what a lovely skirt šŸ‘Œ
I'm wearing H&M pleather trousers, Mint velvet boots and an old grey polo neck.
Feel better soon Happy - I bought your H&M zebra jumper today for Ā£7 in the sale šŸ™ƒ - I am not doing so well on a no spend January

Hello all,

Sorry I've not been posting, it's been a big week.

I have discovered that I'm pregnant! Only 5 and a half weeks but already jeans are uncomfortable so I'm in leggings and long tops mainly. The bloat is real!

Ellapaella · 25/01/2020 15:26

Ooh congratulations 🄳

Miseryisabutterfly · 25/01/2020 17:00

I always intend to keep joining in as I love this thread but I forget!

@Ellapaella those trousers are amazing, you really suit them! Pleather trousers are my favourite thing šŸ˜‚

@happytobemrsg I hope you’re feeling better today. I have been poorly for a good while now too (anaemia) and it sucks. You always look fab.

@toastfiend I love your style. Everything you wear looks cool.

@OublietteBravo I hope the theatre is fun! Love those trousers.

I am missing lots of people out but you all look great. I love seeing what everyone’s wearing and getting ideas.

Me today in an & other stories dress and Zara boots. Only time I’ve left the house all week except for a brief supermarket run.

Miseryisabutterfly · 25/01/2020 17:01

Congratulations @timswifey! šŸ’•

Ellapaella · 25/01/2020 17:43

@Miseryisabutterfly thanks! I was inspired by you yesterday. Found these in H&M and I love them.

KiteflyingKat · 25/01/2020 17:54

Everyone looks fab Grin

Huge congratulations @timswifey ! When I was pregnant I was out of my normal jeans about 5 weeks in!

Purplecatshopaholic · 25/01/2020 18:08

Popped into town for lunch with a friend and a wander round the shops.

Blue and black stretch leather leggings found in a Pucci sale; shoes from Pied de terre, black tee, and black Armani jeans jacket

Congratulations @timswifey! Lovely news for another grey day

Sooverthemill · 25/01/2020 18:18

@Ellapaella I love them

KiteflyingKat · 25/01/2020 18:59

Thanks for the trouser info @toastfiend
I’m tempted, but not sure I’m cool enough to carry them off Grin argh it’s so difficult, I don’t want to be a frumpy mum but don’t want to look too try hard either. I’m late 30s.
Also jealous of your horse by the way, mine (on loan) went back a couple of years ago now, really miss riding but I just couldn’t fit it in with a baby & work. I cycle a lot but it’s not the same Smile

thebestever · 25/01/2020 19:26

I follow this lovely thread but I've never posted!
@softpebbles, I don't know how to PM but I'd be interested in your Hush star jeans. Would you be able to message me?

Sooverthemill · 26/01/2020 08:49

So, everyone is still under the weather and DH must have at the very least the plague so I'm not making much effort today

Sweatshirt: FWP by Rae
Joggers: Tesco very old
Slippers: ugg, also very old

I haven’t had chance to take a photo yet - hopefully later (everyone was still asleep when I left home this morning, and I couldn’t access a mirror without waking somebody up). I’m heading to Oxford for the day - mainly for the rowing society meeting. I’m a bit worried that I might spend money if I’m somewhere with real shops...

Ellapaella · 26/01/2020 09:38

@OublietteBravo I grew up near Oxford and went back to see my parents over Christmas. Me and my Mum went in to the city for a days shopping and it was amazing, they have some excellent shops that weren't there when I last went. The new Westgate centre is fantastic (not that I'm encouraging you to go and look obviously Grin).
