Shopping our Wardrobes! Outfit of the Day Thread

[happytobemrsg]

Looking forward to seeing all the lovely outfits we can make by shopping our wardrobes. I’m day one of my no spend & pretty pleased with myself 😂

(Sorry if I’ve missed anyone)

@ememem84 good luck going back!

@Ellapaella the jumper looks fab ( a bit all saints to me) what a bargain

Jumper: H&M
Trousers: Boden velvet skinnies
Shoes: Hobbs ( old)

Ooh forgot to say I'm leaving the house today, have a haircut booked. First haircut since May and only 4th time out of the house since Xmas...if DD is well enough

Work day for me today. Enjoying a peaceful house (bar squeaking puppies) after a busy weekend. I often tease my DH about always wearing the same thing, but this thread has made me realise I pretty much always wear some kind of variation on the same style, too. 🙈

Top - H&M
Trousers - Lucy & Yak (vast tracts of my wardrobe come from these guys, so I usually have at least one thing on from them!)
Belt - Lucy & Yak
Shoes - 14-hole DMs

Good luck back at work Em.
Hope hair looks fab and does your outfit justice Soover
Love the relaxed but stylish work looks Toast and Oubliette

Crops- Whistles, Polo neck-Jigsaw, jacket Day Birger and Mikkelson (?sp)

@PalacePaper I find that for ankle or mid calf boots you do need chunky or quite a bit of hardware to look right with those skirts. Anything too sleek or ‘pretty’ just doesn’t work (at least for me).

@Ellapaella I absolutely love those pleather trousers on you and will probably have to try them myself if my local H&M has them. I can pretty much guarantee they will not suit me, sadly.

@timswifey Congratulations!

@KiteflyingKat But, Ralph Lauren! You can’t call that boring! Anyway that whole outfit is a total ‘I just threw this on and look great by accident’ look.

@cathyandclare That plum jacket is fantastic and really works dressed down with jeans. Bet your daughters regret turning it down when they see it styled like that. I also really like your leather jacket with buttons from today.

Hope you’re feeling a bit more the thing today, @happytobemrsg

Home and not planning to go out now thanks to the rain (a quick cinema trip to see Little Women was mooted earlier but nah) so comfy in jeans, courtesy of Lidl and a black velvet shirt with glitter stars by Jaded London (it’s a mans shirt actually)

Thanks @Talisin

@happytobemrsg how are you feeling?

@ememem84 how was return to work?

@Sooverthemill how did the haircut go?

@cathyandclare you look very sleek & stylish, again

@toastfiend I checked out the Lucy Yak website, am definitely tempted by the trousers. All the rainbow dungarees are definitely a step to far for me though

it’s interesting what you were saying about feeling you only have one style - I often feel the opposite, like I don’t know what my style is - I have everything in my wardrobe from causal, smart, girly, sporty, country..... I really don’t think I have a style - do I need one though?

• mom jeans Topshop
• cardi - Levi’s
• T-shirt - Look Look
• high tops Diesel (ready for replacement)

Here is a pic. Am pleased @kite

Return to work was fine. I was missed. My assistant gave me a huge hug which is very unlike him.

Good day.

Managed the gym after work too and have made a decision to only replace current gym stuff with leggings from gym shark. My M&S ones are good. But they’re not gymshark good.

So today’s gym outfit - dorothy Perkins basic Burgandy T-shirt, black gymshark leggings (mid calf length) addidas trainers (years old and probabky should replace at some point) then an old under armour hoody of dhs over the top for the walk there.

Tomorrow’s outfit is hanging on the wardrobe door:

Blue button down shirt with white cuffs (will wear tucked in and sleeves rolled) - H&M I think
black skinny trousers - monsoon
Leopard print flatties - dune
Bottle green wool coat - oasis
Yellow scarf - oasis
Yellow bag - oasis

@KiteflyingKat haha, I won't lie, I do own a few pairs of colourful dungas from them! 😂 I do appreciate they're not for everyone, though.

It's weird. I have all different styles in my wardrobe, and, as you say, never really felt I have a specific "style" that's my own, although I err more towards the grungy side of things, I suppose. Which is why this thread has surprised me really as actually seeing my daily outfits laid out like that has shown me that the stuff I feel happiest in is all very similar. I think it'll broaden up as I go through my wardrobe, though. I don't think anyone needs to have a style, though, no. I'd look totally different at an Agricultural Show or a Point to Point, for example, than I look in any of these and pictures. Dressing in what makes you happy and is appropriate for whatever you're doing is the most important thing, I think. I just buy clothes I like these days, having spent years feeling crap in clothes I didnt think suited me in order to fit in. 🤷‍♀️

@Sooverthemill I love your hair, it looks fab. 😊

Thank you @toastfiend!

Very uninspiring today, had to get ready in a hurry so variation on yesterday!

Jumper: old Boden
Trousers: old Boden skinny velvet
Shoes: old Hobbs

Nice hair, @Sooverthemill

I don’t think I have a style either. I chop and change as the fancy takes me and I tend to get bored fairly quickly if I’m wearing stuff of a certain ‘look’ for more than two or three days in a row.

Anyway, today:
Izzie jumper (Hush)
Portia skirt (Hush)
Boots (New Look)
Coat (Hobbs)
T-Bar necklace (Label Mix @ Next)

The skirt & jumper look like they don’t really go together in the Stylebook layout but in r/l they tone really well.

Oh look - another variation on my standard ‘jeans and a jumper’ outfit. Perhaps I need to try and be more adventurous....

Jumper: Jigsaw
Jeans: Boden
Trainers: Mint Velvet

Dressed a bit like an overgrown toddler today. It is my baby's birthday, though!

Dino pinafore - Run & Fly
Top - H&M
Tights - M&S
Boots - DMs

Oops, forgot the picture!

@31OublietteBravo love your boots!

Congrats to timswifey such lovely news.

Jumper was a Christmas gift and I wasn't sure at first as it's a box sort of shape and quite baggy, not normally something I would wear, but I like it and it's comfortable and warm!
Denim faded black skirt from God knows where!
Charcoal tights are from tu and I'll be swapping slippers for grey flat tom tailor boots later on.

@01toastfiend beautiful pinafore!

@toastfiend Awesome dinos! 🦕🦖

Thanks @Chipsahoy 💕

I absolutely love a pinafore @toastfiend in fact in a previous job I started a 'pinafore Mondays' tradition that people actually joined in with and enjoyed! 😂

Thank you @Talisin and @Chipsahoy. 😊 I love it, I feel a lot like an overgrown toddler in it, but who doesn't like dinos?! 😂🦕

@timswifey I love the idea of 'pinafore Mondays'! I got massively into wearing then just after I'd had my DS as I found lots of breastfeeding specific clothing made me feel really frumpy. He doesn't feed that much any more but my love for pinafores is here to stay, I think!

@Talisin I love your outfit

Hi everyone, work day today so dress from Sainsbury's and cardigan from TKMaxx (I think it's Benetton). Plus long tan boots.

@talisin your green skirt is beautiful 
@sooverthemill fab hair!
@toastfiend love your Dino dress
@timswifey congratulations!!!

Oops forgot the photo - plus a close up of the print on my dress

Love the bird and dino prints! Hair looks gorgeous @Sooverthemill.

Ancient Anglomania dress off EBay
All Saints jacket and Daniel boots

Love that print @PalacePaper

Everyone is looking lovely

I’m wearing a Banana Republic dress - it was on its last warning but it’s failed and is on its way to the charity shop . It doesn’t flatter, it’s short and rides up and clings to the wrong part of my stomach

Apart from the fact it doesn’t fit right, it’s just so average and why waste our time wearing average clothes when we could wear something that makes us feel fabulous?

I saw a lady I know today who always looks amazing She’s 40, and yes she’s slim and pretty (but not outstandingly beautiful) but she is always so well dressed. She wears a lot of colour - definitely doesn’t stick to “safe” options - but she always gets it so right. I want to know her secret! which I suspect is spending a fortune
