@Sooverthemill I like your jumper, what does FWP stand for?

@Ellapaella it stands for French Wine Project! The woman who designs the tees and sweatshirts used to run a wine company and post divorce now produces ethical cotton tees and sweats. All have a link to wine ( I have : rose, Bon vintage, Provence and my knackered tee is from there too! I also have this sweatshirt bought to celebrate being cancer free and a plain cream one. I really love the quality Here's the link if you want to look. I love them and although Hush prices, so nice!

@OublietteBravo my DH rowed for Trinity college ( back in the 80s) and one of DD's friends rows for Oxford now. Love Oxford and the shopping is indeed good

Oops, I cracked and ordered some clothes online. I have invested in a jumpsuit and it’s all your faults @oubliettebravo and @toastfiend for looking so amazing in yours! Will update when they arrive (ordered a few different ones to see what works). Lululemon leggings for me today though (and the ubiquitous Marks slouchy socks) as its a walking the dog in the rain sort of a day here in Scotland

Thanks everyone. I don’t really feel up to posting much but I am following & enjoying everyone’s outfits. Overdraft interest rates are changing in March & DH has quite an overdraft so I’m focussing on paying that off - it’s helping me shop my wardrobe that’s for sure!

Oh & huge congratulations to @timswifey

@Ellapaella I love your leather trousers. Do you have a link?

Thanks for the congrats everyone 💕

I got £5 off mine yesterday as I had an offer for H&M members. I got a size 12 as even though I'm a 10 in most high street stores I am a 12 in H&M and TopShop.
Tim you can do 'what am I wearing today - Maternity wear' - I had a bump almost immediately with my second boy (I have 3). He turned out to be a big 9 pounder.

Very boring from me today:
-jumper Ralph Lauren via TK Maxx

• jeans Topshop

Boots - Timberland via charity shop

@Ellapaella I am looking forward to cute maternity outfits! It'll be when the weather gets warmer too so going to try and find some dresses that look nice and keep me cool.

Yes you'll have an autumn baby! How lovely 😊
Today I'm wearing the H&M jumper with coated black skinny jeans.

I’ve ordered the trousers! I’ve been looking for some relaxed faux leather trousers for a while. I hope I like these. @Ellapaella what size is your zebra jumper?

@timswifey I lived in maternity jumpsuits when I was pregnant last year. So comfy

@KiteflyingKat they do offer Klarna if you want to buy them to try. I think they're worth it just for the comfort, it's like wearing comfy, slouchy clothes all the time! 🤣 I put my old horse on loan when I was pregnant. Sadly he had to be put to sleep following an injury. The one I have now is a youngster who was my present to myself when I went back to work. It's hard fitting it all in, but I'm so much happier when I have my own hobby.

Congratulations @timswifey. I was out of my jeans almost as soon as I found out I was pregnant. I didn't have much of a bunp for ages, but I just couldn't tolerate anything tight on my stomach at all.

Today's outfit is a bit random.

Skirt - Zara, old. Not fitted me for ages as I'd put on a lot of weight before I got pregnant, but I've managed to lose some recently so it's a little loose now, which is nice!
Jumper - H&M sale buy, so it's new but I have been looking for a slouchy top like it for a while and it was cheap.
Tights - M&S. Managed to ladder them just now but can't be bothered to change them now as I'm not going out again today. I'll bin them later.
Boots - 14-hole DMs. New to me. Chuffed with these, bought them second-hand and they were (relatively) cheap as chips and I don't think they've been worn at all really. Wearing them around the house to see how much breaking in they need before I risk a trip out!

It's a medium @happytobemrsg

Love those pleather trousers @Ellapaella, you look better in your outfit that the model on the HM website!

I bought this plum velvet jacket/shrug thing to wear over a dress to the races. It didn't look right and I'm ashamed to say I never sent it back . Both DDs rejected it. It's been lurking in my wardrobe, making me feel guilty. I've decided to rehabilitate it as a more everyday thing.

Jacket- Nancy Mac
Top- Kaliko (ancient)
Jeans- Diesel
Belt- Mulberry (from the 90s)

than the model

I’m back home, and I’ve finally managed to take a photo of today’s outfit I know the light is awful). I also managed not to buy anything in Oxford (except underwear - which was on my permitted items list)

Jumper: Warehouse
Trousers: Gap
Boots: Celtic & Co

Congratulations @timswifey - I no longer remember what I wore when I was pregnant (DS is my youngest - he’ll be 14 next weekend).

Thanks Ella.

Love love love your outfit @cathyandclare. That jacket deserves to be seen!

Hoping I’ll be well enough to go back to work on Tuesday so until then I’ll be in M&S loungewear. DH has just taken the boys out to see his mum for an hour. After feeling so rough, the silence is bliss. Going to read my kindle 🤓

Yes Cathy I love your plum jacket 😍

Bit late posting today and failed completely yesterday as I went shopping in Manchester with DD and completely forgot!

Met up with family today for a late lunch, Skirt from kemmi Telford, pllo neck from Whistles, Office boots. Coat from Jaeger and massive scarf from Jospeh.

Spent the day coaching netball so trakkies for me. Been out to a comedy show tonight and had to get ready in 3 minutes so I'm very unadventurous
Jeans: G star raw via charity shop
Jumper: mint velvet via ebay
Boots: DM
Jacket: Protected Species
Hat:Brora
Fingerless cashmere gloves/ Hush

Fell off for a bit but no exciting outfits here really.

Today however, I’m back at work. After 6 months mat leave.

Wearing an oversized white shirt - jack wills
Blue patterned skinny ankle grazer trousers - M&S would you believe
Ballet flats - new look (need better wintery shoes but still haven’t spent on clothes shoes etc since Dec 30th so will get some shoes once I get paid!!)

Canary yellow scarf, yellow bag (both oasis I think) and red pea coat (asos).

Also taking my roxy/quicksilver overnight/gym bag with me as have my gym kit and about a billion things to go back to work. Bag is brown/turquoise and floral. It’s a bit of a statement.

@ememem84 best of luck back at work

@ememem84 - I hope your first day back goes well.

My weekend seems to have gone especially quickly, and I’m back in the office once again. I’ve got a lot to do - fortunately I’ve only got a handful of meetings.
