@Sooverthemill that's really good news, what a relief. I didn't see your update before as I had a long gap between writing and posting due to an unfortunate incident with a cup of tea and an outfit changeConfused

itssquidstella · 17/04/2020 13:22

@Sooverthemill glad to hear things are going better!

@PalacePaper post a picture of your new Sweaty Betty stuff when it arrives!

I've given up and conceded I now live in sports kit, so here's a picture of me taken in the loos at Tesco.

Leggings are Adidas
Vest top is New Balance
Hoodie is Sweaty Betty

Happy Friday, everyone! Today I am doing #dressupfriday in a Warehouse dress, and my Veja trainers. Still too cold for bare legs, and mine would get sent to the gorilla enclosure promptly.

Hello! Work is suddenly crazy, so I didn’t get round to posting earlier. I’m dressed for (virtual) meetings - so many meetings!

I’ll have to leave catching up on everyone else’s outfits this evening.

Shirt: Boden
Belt: Mint Velvet
Jeans: Gap
Trainers: Mint Velvet

Thanks @Sooverthemill I might give them a try 😀

itssquidstella · 17/04/2020 14:21

I like that shirt, @OublietteBravo. I've never bought anything from Boden; do you rate them?

Sooverthemill · 17/04/2020 14:54

@happytobemrsg yes they are soooo comfy! Like walking on air. Already decided that I will bet another pair in the autumn for winter. I wish I had bought these really than the 4 cheaper pairs I have! ( though I love my jigsaw ones especially).

Sooverthemill · 17/04/2020 14:57

@itssquidstella I am a terrible Boden buyer I reckon half my wardrobe is from there ( always on discount). Their fit and quality is very consistent and customer service is great. They have responded to coronavirus by giving clothes to patients and staff that have nothing decent to wear home. They make a fortune I know and are expensive but I wear things I bought in 2006 still ( Breton, trousers, jumpers). I don't buy their silk because it's too much money and my animals would ruin in but take a look. 20% off H6N9

Sooverthemill · 17/04/2020 14:58

Haha @PalacePaper hope that didn't burn you

Shannith · 17/04/2020 16:15

@theonlymrsw Welcome - you look fab and I love the trainers - they seriously rock,

Shannith · 17/04/2020 16:19

@Sooverthemill that's great news about your DD.

The trainers and top work really well together, I'm having trainer envy today, would you and @theonlymrsw mind doing some close ups or links to them?

Sooverthemill · 17/04/2020 16:45

@Shannith here's a close up which I took the day they arrived. They have a platform sole. I truly love them

Hi All. Just catching up. Had a rubbish morning. DH spilled strong black coffee all over pale wool loop pile carpet just before a zoom meeting so I had to clean it up before rushing off the work. This was my outfit. Skirt from Oasis, top from Shein (everything else I bought from there was truly awful and I regret it), shoes are Dune.

They're great trainers @TheOnlyMrsW.

Love the shirt @OublietteBravo.

I missed where the platform trainers are from@Sooverthemill but yes, really cool. What are you wearing them with?

Hairydogmummy · 17/04/2020 17:16

Sorry forgot picture. Again!

Thank you for the welcome and the trainer love, you're a fab and lovely bunch! @Shannith seem to be having issues with photos at the moment but will try later........they have been at the back of the wardrobe for a while so not sure if it's a current style

Sooverthemill · 17/04/2020 18:18

@Hairydogmummy how annoying but I love your new outfit! And @itssquidstella nice outfit for dinner! Dinner is my cut off for being allowed to get into my PJs as soon as dishwasher is loaded...
@hairydogmummy they are air and grace. Only had a few weeks but wearing with all my jeans and will wear with dresses/ skirts too. Was thinking about a dress/ jumper combo tomorrow with them

Terralee · 17/04/2020 18:31

Dark pink Superdry hoody
Grey New Look slogan T-shirt

Hairydogmummy · 17/04/2020 19:21

@Sooverthemill they're fab and that sounds like a good plan. Thinking of platform trainers but feel like I'd have to try them on in a shop to see what they'd be like. The extra height would be handy for me with midi skirts I think?

Love the idea of dressing for dinner @itssquidstella there is nothing else to dress for apart from the supermarket or the odd trip to work! Might suggest a restaurant take out and dressing for dinner to DH tomorrow eve. He might get the wrong idea tho!Wink

happytobemrsg · 17/04/2020 19:29

I’ll look into your trainers then @Sooverthemill, I’m always on the look out for comfy trainers which look good.

Really like your skirt @Hairydogmummy. I have one midi skirt which I LOVE but it’s silky & not really practical on a day I’m with the DC. Maybe I’ll wear it on one of my work days if I can face wearing tights!

I like your jumper @itssquidstella

I have a question - so many of you post photos at home wearing footwear. Do you wear shoes around the house? Or is that just what you would have worn?

OP posts:
itssquidstella · 17/04/2020 19:33

@happytobemrsg thanks, I live &other stories knitwear! It's to my eternal sadness that I'm too tall for their jumpsuits :(

I don't wear shoes around the house as a rule but I've taken a couple of pictures when I'm about to go out so I can show them along with the outfit.

Hairydogmummy · 17/04/2020 19:48

I often wear shoes yes, especially in summer cos I always put Birkenstock's on. I wear slippers in winter though but only when I've been out and come in! Rarely barefoot these days. My feet get too cold!

Terralee · 17/04/2020 20:00

I wear my uggs or flip flops round the house depending on how warm it is!!

I usually take my 'outdoors' footwear off inside unless I feel lazy.
