Another who is disappointed about Oasis and Warehouse. I really liked both of them, though did find them a little pricey for the quality when they were full price, so perhaps I'm part of the problem, really, as only bought from them during the sales.

DH has had to go into work today, so I'm wrangling a very grumpy DS and also trying to work from home. It's not going well so far. Giving in and going for a dog walk soon. Will catch up this evening when he's in bed.

Top - Juno Jack's nursing top, I don't fees in the day any more, but I also don't own a non-nursing stripy top like it, so...
Paperbag waist trousers - Lucy & Yak, not sure these do me any favours really. They were in my 'to eBay' pile (which had been put on hold until after lockdown) but I dug them back out for today as they're so, so comfy, so perhaps I'll keep them. 🤷‍♀️

@toastfiend those trousers look good...I'd def keep them. We have Oasis and Warehouse in Outfit at a retail park near us so geographically nearest clothes shop and next to supermarket but like you I had bought a lot in sales! Shall wear something from there today...

Hairydogmummy · 15/04/2020 11:20

Homage to Warehouse...actually just the top is from there. Shorts are M and S and Converse trainers!

I haven’t bought anything from Oasis in years, but I have a lot of dresses from Warehouse so am really sad about that.

Today I am wearing Idles cat t-shirt, Whistles Hollie jeans, ridiculous fluffy cardigan from Oliver Bonas, and Stan Smiths.

I'm sad about oasis and warehouse. I think the quality of the fabrics has definitely gone down over recent years which is part of the problem - higher prices than shops like primark or H&M but still lots of polyester/ acrylic/ thin fabrics. It looks like we're going to end up with far fewer mid-range options - either cheap fast fashion or premium prices if you don't want that. We've been going that way for a while, the current situation will accelerate the problems for retailers in trouble.

Anyway, I mis-judged the weather today as I am chilly! I think I'll go and get changed shortly. I bought this skirt in the winter (coincidentally from warehouse) and this is the first time wearing it with bare legs but I quite like it I think. T-shirt is old from hush. I was planning to wear either Birkenstocks or white trainers and maybe denim jacket when I go for a walk later, but not sure that's going to cut it! I'm wishing my sweaty Betty hoodie had already arrived Grin

Looks like my L&Y bits should be here by the weekend not that I’m counting the days or anything

Since lockdown I’ve been wearing my headbands more & I really like them. A great pop of colour & great at hiding my unwashed hair! Here’s a close up of today’s one.

I to like the other stories dinosaur cardigan, having seen it in the shops it would be easy to copy, as it has poppers and the dinosaurs are just decoration.

Today I'm not sure if I should tuck in this top of not, I think tuck in.
Top Dorothy Perkins
Trousers Tesco
Cardigan Sainsbury's

@toastfiend those trousers suit you!

itssquidstella · 15/04/2020 21:26

I wore my Hush dress again today as I went into work this afternoon (on a rota to supervise key workers' children) and thought I'd dress up a bit!

I'll try to wear something different tomorrow and post a picture.

OublietteBravo · 16/04/2020 09:24

Another lovely warm day here. I have my 'ahem, vintage' shorts on from Sainsbury's when they first started selling clothes, homage to Oasis top and my beloved Converse lite. They don't do them much any more. Getting difficult to get hold of!

Insertdeadcatsnamehere · 16/04/2020 12:56

Love the top @Hairydogmummy

I've not made it out of loungewear for far too long so got my Lucy and Yak trousers on with an ancient top from H&M today.
