I would if I wasn't so hot! Roasting here today

MerlinsButler · 28/05/2020 18:29

@oubliettebravo I love those sandals! Really summery and you can't beat leopard print. 

@KiteflyingKat great outfit. Very chic. @bigeegit great colour shirt.

@Sooverthemill that skirt is amazing.

@cravingthelook but jealous you got to get work dressed! One thing I miss now I wfh full time. I loved my office shoes. @justonedayatatime11 that is a gorgeous dress too.

@toastfiend great trousers and I agree re top. You should probably get it in all colours!

@itssquidstella @sickoffamilydrama love the shirts outfits. @Ellapaella I love that blouse. @cravingthelook lovely dress.

@ClientQ agree we need photos.

Been in my office all day so no sun for me. Luckily no meetings so casual look.

T-shirt- stitchfix own brand ( unironed I'm afraid)
Jeans - Hush
Belt - MV via eBay

@oubliettebravo can I just ask how you find Boden shoe sizing. I've just had a peek on the website and they have some lovely wedges and trainers but I have quite wide feet so wondering what sizes are like?

Sickoffamilydrama · 28/05/2020 19:34

@ClientQ I've had my eye on those M&S trousers so we definitely need pics 😉

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 28/05/2020 19:39

Jealous of everyone’s super hot weather!

I wore “lucky” t-shirt from Topshop, Whistles jeans, Adidas Continental 80s.

@Sickoffamilydrama I would say they come up long, I'm 5ft 10 and ordered the long and they're almost too long on me which never happens with M&S! Heavy fabric so not for summer but they hang beautifully and feel really good quality

EllaPaella · 28/05/2020 20:23

@MerlinsButler you will be like me and never take those jeans off now!
I ordered a second pair as I love them so much - I want to put them aside in case anything happens to them or hush never sell them again 🤪. But then I ordered a pair of Levi's I also love 'just to see' and love them too so I now have three pairs of light denim summer jeans and a very poor bank balance. It's a good job I've been doing lots of overtime and weekends recently.

ClientQ · 28/05/2020 21:03

Crap pics. I hate that I feel the need to apologise for lockdown shielding weight gain and the mess (don't clear out a spare room and get a bed ready to move the day before the tip shuts!!!)

@EllaPaella have you the link to the hush jeans. I love the Levi tapered leg so if you like a style I might too!

MerlinsButler · 28/05/2020 21:36

@Ellapaella I'll be your jeans twin!! It's so weird. I actually was looking at them today and thinking I should get another pair to have as holiday jeans. They are just soooo comfy and soft.

We've just rebooked our Tenerife holiday. We were supposed to go week after lockdown. Then they rebooked us for the end of June. Now that is cancelled and we're booked for September so I will need holiday jeans ( ignores the other two pair of Hush jeans already in the holiday box as they aren't new!!!Grin)

I've not had Levi's for years. I had a pair of vintage American 501s that I got when I was 18. They finally disintegrated about 5 years ago and I nearly cried and I've never found any I like since. What Levi's have you got???

EllaPaella · 28/05/2020 21:50

These ones @MerlinsButler in the pale blue - Montgomery blue

MerlinsButler · 28/05/2020 21:53

Thanks @EllaPaella I'll take a look.

KiteflyingKat · 28/05/2020 21:59

I find links like that so annoying @EllaPaella - how can I possibly tell what the jeans would look like on me from someone about 4 sizes smaller? Really wish they would show them on a range of models eg size 6, size 10/12, size 16 or something

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 28/05/2020 22:27

I have the 501 crops in black, @EllaPaella - actually two pairs because I love them so much, and I can get away with wearing them to work.

Right now my favourites are the Levi’s balloon leg jeans in blue. I really like the pleated front and the high waist.

Sickoffamilydrama · 28/05/2020 22:36

Thanks @ClientQ they look good on you. I might break my now spend rule for them 🤫

itssquidstella · 29/05/2020 08:06

@MerlinsButler Hush jeans are great, I bought my first pair recently and have been wearing them constantly when it hasn't been too hot!

OublietteBravo · 29/05/2020 08:37

@MerlinsButler - I have 3 pairs of shoes from Boden: 2 pairs of sandals (both from the kids section - they go up to 6/39 in some styles) and a pair of trainers. I’m happy with all of them. I don’t think of any of them being especially narrow (e.g. they seem wider than the ones I have from Jigsaw).

@KiteflyingKat - I know what you mean about the unhelpful photos. My particular bugbear is shoes which aren’t actually shown on anyone’s feet. How am I supposed to figure out what those will look like?

I seem to be in a variation of yesterday’s outfit. I definitely still need a jumper on first thing even though it will be hot later. I’m really starting to notice that I’ve put on a bit of weight during lockdown - it might be time to do something about it.

Jumper: Jigsaw
T-shirt: Oasis
Belt: Mint Velvet
Trousers: Warehouse
Sandals: Boden

Am I the only person who doesn’t like Hush jeans? They always seem huge around the waist - several inches too big.

itssquidstella · 29/05/2020 08:55

Off to sit in my mum's garden!

Boden shoes: I have several and I don’t generally TTS but I have narrow size 4.

Hush jeans: they are fab though usually roomy ( not all recently though) I did buy 2 pairs of the first years BF ones but decided to sell on the second pair as I had others I liked as much

I have the Levi 591 cropped in neutral ground. The only colour I could get in 26/26 because I’m short. John Lewis annoyingly only start their Levi’s st size 27! Why? If you want Levi’s look at La Redoute as they have 20% off at the moment as does Surfdome. Levi has a weird bit one get one free which I don’t understand but few smaller sizes available. But 10% off for signing up to newsletter. Brands for less often have less popular colours cheap . I did a LOT of Levi research! @Judystilldreamsofhorses with the high wasted ones did you buy your usual size?

It’s hot and sunny today
Shirt: hush ( love this cheerful colour)
Shorts: M& S
Sandals: new Birkenstock’s Eva Arizona. ( consortium were cheapest when I looked but schuh has an offer now) very spongy and soft and when I’m no longer shielding I can walk on the beach in them!

Oooh loving the summer looks this morning! Love the trousers @oublietteBravo, great outfit @itssquidstella, and wow, cant believe that dress is from Tesco @KiteflyingKat! Beautiful! I'm in a light cotton denim(ish) dress from Oasis, bought last summer. Will probably wear sandals later, currently in slippers Smile

It's super hot already here today.

We had Domino's last night and I'm regretting it because I now feel bloated and hate the way I look in all my clothes. 🤦‍♀️ So I've gone for a loose dress, which hides a multitude of sins!

Dress - Compania Fantastica, it has tie straps on the shoulders, which I think might annoy me over the course of the day. I love the pattern, though.

Like that dress @toastfiend
I don't know why I don't wear this dress more probably cause I have to wear a strapless bra.
