We don’t really drink alcohol at home @TheOnlyMrsW - DH is teetotal & I only drink occasionally when at restaurants etc. But I found myself craving red wine tonight.... so have a glass for me 🍷

You should know by now @Justonedayatatime11 that we’re a lovely group - no judgement here! Just crop out your face 😀

@MerlinsButler - I absolutely love both the skirt (you have great legs) and the jumpsuit when worn the right way roundGrin

Sickoffamilydrama · 16/05/2020 08:25

Love the jumpsuit @MerlinsButler I might have missed it where is it from?
At the moment I'm in a fluffy dressing gown with our youngest squirming on my lap whilst watching Dino Dan so won't post that picture.

EllaPaella · 16/05/2020 08:54

Lovely sunny morning here. Up early to do the supermarket shop and off out to walk the dog. Will spend as much of the day as possible in the garden.
Top - Zara
Jeans - Hush
Birkenstock vegan sandals

@Sickoffamilydrama thanks. It's from stitchfix but is a brand called YAS. Never heard of them before this.

MerlinsButler · 16/05/2020 09:31

@Sooverthemill that cherry cardigan is lovely. Hope it fits.

I don't think any of us are doing very well at shopping our wardrobes at the minute. I keep browsing the hush website too. So many nice things.

Not sure why you can't see both posts. Very odd.

@Oubliettebravo thank you. That made me laugh. It's a good job it was so low cut as otherwise I probably wouldn't have realised it was back to front! I blame lockdown brain.

@Ellapaella that outfit looks so summery. Raining here today but you have reminded me I need some new jeans. My fav Mint Velvet ones have finally died. What style are those jeans from Hush?

Sooverthemill · 16/05/2020 09:33

@MerlinsButler I think John Lewis sell their stuff

Today it's not warm and it's not sunny! Hurumph. Might do some gardening or I may just read my book around very poorly DD. Last night was exciting as we had fish and chips which reopened yesterday with Facebook bookings only. And watched final episode of 'national treasure' on all4 which was very good ( though depressing). Enjoy the weekend all

Tee: comic relief ( finally arrived)
Trousers: Boden ( these are so comfortable, I really recommend them)
Sandals: Birkenstock ( ancient)

@MerlinsButler they are the Alma. I have them too and initially was a bit 'meh' but they are very very nice, in my top 5 jeans , they kind of mould to you in a relaxed kind of way. I've work them 3 times this week so you can see them on a different body shape

MerlinsButler · 16/05/2020 09:46

@Sooverthemill love that comic relief T-shirt.

Didn't realise you had the same jeans. Off to check out those Hush jeans now. Thanks Smile

Did you make a decision re the white dress?

Sooverthemill · 16/05/2020 10:11

@MerlinsButler yes. Asked both DDs who said independently I looked like I was an extra from the sound of music! So sealed up going back Monday

VioletCharlotte · 16/05/2020 10:46

Hello, long time lurker on this thread. I love looking at all your outfits and getting ideas.

@Ellapaella would you mind posting a link to your Hush jeans? I've been desperately trying to find some new jeans, I keep ordering them and returning them!

TheOnlyMrsW · 16/05/2020 10:56

@MerlinsButler love the jumpsuit and the skirt, could you wear it with leggings underneath? Cold again here today, taking my hangover to the garden centre, am hugely excited!

Trousers - Lucy and Yak again!
Top - Nine at Debenhams

Have a good day everyone!

Eek, here goes nothing.
Jumpsuit - Warehouse. Miles out of my comfort zone as I live in jeans and jumpers every day. I seem to be buying an awful lot thanks to these threads, I'm just not brave enough to wear any of it!

@VioletCharlotte here but few sizes left. They put up reruns each weekday at 8.30 so check then if your size isn't available. They are generous but not so generous as other styles of BF jeans they do but with only 1% elastane they give a lot so get better as you wear them.

Sooverthemill · 16/05/2020 11:15

@Justonedayatatime11 well done! I love your jumpsuit, it's lovely, definitely wear it!

OublietteBravo · 16/05/2020 11:27

Good morning. I’m late posting today because I got up and exercised first thing (I’m not subjecting you to photos of me in exercise gear). It was sunny when I got dressed, but seems to be back to being overcast now.

Dungarees: Boden
Top: Primark
Trainers: Jigsaw (it’s taken me about a year to wear these in, but I think I’m finally there)

Your jumpsuit really suits you @Justonedayatatime11

I can see the photos of the T-shirt & skirt when using the app @MerlinsButler. I really like both! I signed up to Stitchfix last night. I’ve not chosen any particular frequency so I can see how it goes. I’ve got my first box coming next Friday. If I like it I’ll order another for my birthday at the start of July.

Really like your stripe T-shirt @EllaPaella. I really like Zara T-shirt’s.

Once you start wearing Lucy & Yak @TheOnlyMrsW it’s hard to stop! The Alexas are so comfy & well made.

Weather is colder than I was expecting today so I’m wearing my new leopard dungarees. What do you all think? Too much?? Could I wear them outside with real people?

Jumper: Only
Dungarees: Run & Fly

Great jumpsuit @Justonedayatatime11. I know what you mean - it’s always difficult starting to wear something a little out of your comfort zone. But in my experience a lot of this type of outfits actually end up being my favourites.

OublietteBravo · 16/05/2020 11:32

I like the dungarees @happytobemrsg.
(Grin at the implication that we’re not real people).

@happytobemrsg love those dungarees!! I'm sure the "real people" will be very jealous!!

Excited that you've signed up to Stitchfix. Look forward to seeing what you get!!

I've decided to keep all my items. Be careful - it's a bit like getting a present except you pay for it yourself but it is good fun. I would never have tried that jumpsuit but wore it last night ( right way around!) for my zoom family quiz. So comfy. Will definitely check out more of YAS.

@Justonedayatatime11 really like that jumpsuit.

@sooverthemill I've ordered the Hush jeans. Had to go for a 10 so may be too big if they're generous but will see.

@TheOnlyMrsW love those trousers. Will try the skirt with tights underneath. Good idea.

EllaPaella · 16/05/2020 12:54

@VioletCharlotte https://www.hush-uk.com/alma-relaxed-fit-jeans-light-blue.htm?trackterm=Alma
I am a 10 and went for my usual size. I think they look slightly baggier around the thighs on the model than they do in real life.

EllaPaella · 16/05/2020 12:54

@Justonedayatatime11 lovely!

EllaPaella · 16/05/2020 12:55

Dungas are fab @happytobemrsg

EllaPaella · 16/05/2020 12:56

@MerlinsButler sorry, the jeans are Alma relaxed fit (see link below)
