Oh no @Sooverthemill hope it arrives soon.

Ella hope you’ve removed the label?! I once wore a gap cardigan for a day before realising I still had the sticky label on it. Just can’t see them 🤦‍♀️

Love the pink dungarees.

I am boring today, gym leggings and top with a hoody. Working from home, hoping to squeeze in a bit of cooking! Tonight I have an online yoga class so I am looking forward to that.

Still a bit cold here, if the breeze dropped it may help x

happytobemrsg · 06/04/2020 10:42

I think I’ll get a jumpsuit from L&Y when this is all over @toastfiend they seem so comfy. The pink Adissons would look great with your new hair!

Very chilly today which I wasn’t expecting after yesterday.

Jumper- New Look
Trousers- Lucy & Yak
Belt- Lucy & Yak
Headband- Next

Would you believe I last washed my hair last Monday??? I’m trying to stretch it to once a week

Not everyone’s taste but I’ve realised how much I LOVE the 90s trend so this article is my idea of heaven

@Softpebbles haha yes I didn't take that photo today, I took it when I first got them. Rest assured it has been removed Grin
Currently rocking the look with cosy Toms slippers!

Thanks @Softpebbles. 😊 @itssquidstella they're not super long in the body so as you're tall I'd be inclined to size up for the extra length if you try one. My pink one is an old-style 'Frankie' boilersuit, which is only just ok for me and I'm 5'6, but I think the Eddies are a bit longer in the body and less 'crotchy'.

@happytobemrsg they are SO comfy! Especially the corduroy ones. Smile I'm really regretting not ordering either of the new Addisons when I had the chance. Sad Totally with you on the 90s trend front.

Softpebbles · 06/04/2020 12:10

Ha ha. Just checking! 😊

Wow @happytobemrsg I have to wash my hair once a day. It’s terrible. Trying to use straighteners less though. That’s great if you can wash less. X

itssquidstella · 06/04/2020 12:16

@ellapaella I love those dungarees!

itssquidstella · 06/04/2020 12:18

Gym wear today! Leggings and cropped hoody both from Sweaty Betty. I did an online HIIT class this morning and will head out for a bike ride after lunch - the sun is out again!

I can’t find your dungarees online @Ellapaella 😢 will just have to wait (im)patiently for my L&Y ones to arrive.

I think I’ve realised I just want to wear dungarees, jumpsuits, high waisted trousers & mom jeans. Forever.

happytobemrsg · 06/04/2020 12:33

I really wanted the rust cord jumpsuit but they didn’t have my size @toastfiend. I love olive green but wondering if that’s a bit much for a jumpsuit.

Once a day @Softpebbles?? That’s crazy. The more I wash my hair the more greasier it gets I find. Try to stretch it out to every other day by using dry shampoo/different styles.

OP posts:
Ellapaella · 06/04/2020 12:47

@happytobemrsg I got them from an outlet store and I tried to find them online when someone asked me about them but couldn't find them either. Think they must have been end of line from a previous season.

Today sat in garden

Dark pink Superdry hoody
Pale pink ugg style Primark boots
Burgundy Crew v neck jumper
Black M&S vest top
Black Tu leggings

I washed my hair last night & I am wearing a bra as usual!!

Insertdeadcatsnamehere · 06/04/2020 13:17

Enjoying the Friends article but not the weather! Not as warm here yesterday as we were promised and raining on and off today. Toast trousers and top yesterday (added a jumper for our garden picnic!) and dungarees again with another Toast top today.

I was in lounge wear all weekend. Today I am wearing a t-shirt from Joanie, Levi’s balloon leg jeans, DM church boots, and added a sage green cardi from Arket.

Thank you, happy. Unmade bed because cat, as ever!

Sickoffamilydrama · 06/04/2020 16:47

Love the dress @itssquidstella and the pink @toastfiend
Yesterday I had a really productive day were I organised and tidied my whole wardrobe, I've got all my summer stuff out (it all needs ironing and shockingly still smells of fabric conditioner) and put my heavy coats away.
What I'm noticing is that I have hardly any versatile more casual bottoms or tops for summer. I seem to have few nice dresses though I'm not going to buy anything yet but start taking pictures so I actually know what I need.

Today is Jasper conran t shirt
Next jeans

Hi everyone. I absolutely love all the boiler suit/ dungaree outfits, they all look fab! I'd love to wear dungarees but I'm quite short and curvy and they just don't look the way I want them to on me 😭 I find the same with pinafore dresses, but I did find one which I like from Dorothy Perkins - it doesn't have the open sides iyswim, I think it's the open sides I don't like on me (but love on everyone else!)

@ellapaella thank you - I decided to go for bright cheerful nails to perk me up. Not so groomed today though as I picked one off yesterday Grin

@itssquidstella I love all your sweaty Betty clothes, I've been browsing the website...how's the sizing? I'm a 10-12 usually - would you go for small or medium bottoms?

@Sooverthemill hope the guitar has turned up

Here's yesterday's outfit - hush harems and oasis jumper. It was a bit chilly yesterday, but sunshine forecast for today Smile

itssquidstella · 07/04/2020 08:22

@PalacePaper I'm addicted to SB, I need to stop buying stuff!

I'm a tall size ten (5'11") and everything I have from there is a small; I like things to be relatively snug-fitting though so I could probably wear a medium too if I wanted things a little looser. So I'd say you'd be okay with either; it depends how you want it to fit 😊

OublietteBravo · 07/04/2020 08:25

Good morning. It’s sunny here and I’m looking forward to virtual choir practice at lunchtime. Plus I have proper coffee - DH works in head office for Costa and had barista training as part of his induction.

I’m wearing double velvet today. Is that allowed? (I know double denim tends to be frowned upon). The second photo gives a better idea of the colour/texture of the top. The outfit really isn’t as dark as it looks in the full length photo.

Top: Phase Eight
Leggings: Mint Velvet
Trainers: Mint Velvet

Jumpsuit: Hush
Necklace: Brighton Lanes/Rachel Jackson

Jumpsuit definitely needs an iron but (1) who is gonna see it & (2) I don’t actually iron so 🤷‍♀️

Sooverthemill · 07/04/2020 09:28

It's sunny but chilly here still though hoping to sit in sunny sitting room later if DH has a break from endless calls( we don't have a home office so until it's warm enough to use summerhouse he's in a corner of it). He is till very much doing 14 hour days trying to organise the NHS response from our sitting room ( obviously with colleagues).

I have on a midi dress! This is old ( 2018) and I forget about it and I've realised that it's tighter than it used to be! 6 weeks of low activity shows. And I definitely eat more when DH home everyday , usually he's away 3 nights a week and I just have a boiled egg or similar for dinner. Hmm, who knew eating more makes you put on weight? 🤫

Dress: next
Sandals: Birkenstock

Gorgeous morning here!

Lovely morning here too. Wearing Toast jumpsuit and Primark hoody today. I'm pregnant, very early and not told anyone in real life yet but, wow, the bloat! Had forgotten this part of it. I think my jeans have been shelved for the foreseeable future and I'm mainly concentrating on not scaring the neighbours until I can go shopping for proper maternity clothes.
