Things we are looking forward to wearing/purchasing when all this is done

[SummersMahoosiveClipOnFringe]

I don't know about you but I could use a frivolous thread to ease the relentless bombardment.

I'll start ..

I have bought some tan Fairfax and Favor driving loafers which has given me the urge to go all preppy.

I have lost 2 stone recently and am excited about my summer wardrobe. I have had a lot of joy at Next for some great basics. So far I have built a new capsule and like wide legs at the mo.

What's on your radar?

Nice cheerful thread! I’m very jealous you’ve lost 2 stone .

Planning on getting to a casual jumpsuit but haven’t decided from where yet.

OOOH ! I love a jumpsuit- any contenders?

I have bought 2 bandeau culottes ones from Next for the summer in black and navy. Well chuffed with them - am going to wear them with my White Company lace up sandals and lashings of red lipstick!

Will find a pic.....

My mother of the groom outfit. With a fabulous big hat, expensive shoes and a gorgeous clutch full of tissues.

These threads are better with pics!

More of my finds I am looking forward to busting out...

and....

Botox, was planning some for April, I have it twice a year

with...

Plus.....

Makes me want to get thin.

just - any pics?

Never had botox Doncha. - how long have you done it for?

I’ve put on over 2 stone but I’ve quit drinking & intend to work on my fitness so I can get into my summer clothes. I bought a shed load then ballooned so have a lot of nice things to choose from. I am also looking forward to buying a decent primer, foundation & brush ( can’t afford them at the mo as I’m not earning).

I'm 40. First time was about 5 years ago - my 11 lines between the eyes bothered me..I've done it about 6 or 7 times in total. It doesn't last 6 months but not too far off it for me and I've settled on twice a year as my pick-me-up number. I am not desperate for it (last had it in October), not addicted, I don't need to be permanently frozen or wrinkle free, but it will be a treat. I think it looks fairly natural though maybe I'm deluded and it doesn't. I don't really care. I just love how rested it makes me look and how much easier make-up goes on. So that's something I'm looking forward to.

I’m wearing nice clothes to work from home -lecturer, so doing lots of video stuff with students - but am looking forward to bringing out all my lovely summer dresses, skirts, and t-shirts. I recently bought two great pairs of jeans (Levi’s balloon legs in black, and some blue ones from Whistles) which I will enjoy wearing outside of the house/garden/my allowed daily walk.

I’m due a fancy airflow tooth polish thing at the end of April, so looking forward to that at whatever point dentists re-open.

Haircut.

I have my eye on a silver ring I saw featured on a blog recently, the new Chanel rosy highlighter, and some Tauer perfume.

Something super glam to go out on the town... well, as much as an old gimmer can

Blimey the Chanel link has given me major shoe and ring lust......

Love this Whistles bag...

Currently loving these from TheWhite Company too...

Summer dresses in the sunshine.

Two lovely summer midi dresses I got in the sale last year from Whistles and Jigsaw and it quickly got too cold to wear them - if they still fit!

Yay! More links please...

OP love the black maxi dress, where’s it from?

Hi Shiny - it is unfortunately from Next. It is a lovely dress- flows without being voluminous and a good weight to it. I think it is called a 'trapeze maxi'. Will be perfect the it heats up :)

Link for when they are trading again...

I want to go and spend a weekend in my favourite vineyard. Coffee on the terrace, seafood for supper, warm evening sunshine.
