I’ve just counted - it’s already been 12 weeks since I last went into the office. It’s no wonder I feel like I don’t wear a big chunk of my work wardrobe. My diary for this week looks amazing. No meetings on Monday, Wednesday or Friday and only one meeting tomorrow. I’m hoping to actually get some work done.

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

@oubliette that must be weird, like maternity leave!

It's still raining and the dogs go to groomers today thank the lord

Tee: ancient Boden
Dungarees: fat face
Trainers: jigsaw

I'm not exactly smart today, but I don't smell like horse (yet!) 😂

Frida Khalo Top - Tinyfibres
Trousers - Lucy & Yak Alexas
Belt - Lucy & Yak

Do I look about scruffy today? I was desperate to wear my new T-shirt but also feeling cold & bloated so comfort won over style.

T-shirt: Lucy & Yak
Cardigan: Oliver Bonas
Trousers: Lucy & Yak
Belt: Lucy & Yak

You look great @happytobemrsg

I love the lucy and yak trousers but don't know if they would be flattering on a big bum.

@happytobemrsg No, you look great. Anything but scruffy!

Thanks both. I wasn’t sure 😂

@Shadeslayer I don’t have a big bum (pretty average I’d say) but the excess fabric there gives me a bigger one

@sooverthemill those dungarees are very nice indeed.

@obliettebravo great shirt. I've not been in an office for about... god 3 1/2 years now I think about it.

@happytobemrsg if you look scruffy then there is no hope for me! Fab t-shirt.

@happytobemrsg I do not need any excess bum I have plenty

Went for a walk twice!

I was working today so I very casual (childminder) but tomorrow we are having afternoon tea so everyone has been asked to come in their garden party attire. I intend to wear a black and white tea dress.

Another cold day here. Wearing Joanie t-shirt, Levi’s ballon leg jeans, Stan Smiths, Other Stories cardi added shortly after.

@ClientQ so sorry you lost your beautiful girl, she looked gorgeous. So many cute, cuddly, fury critters posted - love them all!

@quantumdog I gave in and bought the sandals - just hope they fit!

@Judystilldreamsofhorses I really like those Levi’s.

@Talisin Awesome! Which style did you do for?

Evening all, been doing project management docs all day & eve absolutely hate them, even if they are a necessary evil.
Thought I might have to take a head & shoulders picture so hence the smart blouse.
Jumper & other stories
Blouse Primark
Trousers Boden

@quantumdog just the plain black ones. Not keen on animal print or patent or studs and I’ll get more wear out of black than any other colour.

@quantumdog I love your outfit.

I wish I had a pet to contribute to the thread - I'm loving all the dogs and horses!

@Sooverthemill how's your daughter today?

We have a lovely spaniel. A bit worried when we all go back to work and school he will miss us and I think he has got used to us being here.

Today white blouse new look and Levi’s. Wish I’d got a size down in the jeans as have to hoik up with a belt. 🤦‍♀️

It’s still chilly. So I’ve gone for a jumpsuit with a top underneath.

Top: Boden
Jumpsuit: Boden
Trainers: Clarks

My new Lucy & Yak Eastons arrived yesterday. I'm a bit torn. I like them in profile but straight on I think they make me look a bit blocky/like I don't have any waist. The colour is lovely, but very summery, and they're actually a heavy cotton, so I think too warm for summer, really. Probably going back, so I might invest in some Tillora Camdens or a Blake fleece instead!

The duck egg blue are the Eastons I'm unsure about. Today I'm wearing my teal cord originals as they're so lovely and comfy. Very overcast here today.

Dungarees - Lucy & Yak
Top - Juno Jack's, I keep saying it but I need to buy some striped tops that aren't nursing tops. 😂

If you aren’t sure send them back toast. That’s the rule 😂

@OublietteBravo I had a cardigan to walk the dog but ended up taking it off. Overcast but not particularly cold here. Did you keep the green jumpsuit? X

Isn't the weather weird? It's warm now but earlier we had the heating on!
@toast I like both.
@Softpebbles love the top
@Judystilldreamsofhorses I really like those jeans

DD is terrible. I don't know what to do. I cried on the phone to the GP yesterday. And then when I told DH and then when DD sobbed because she just feels so ill and she's been ill since 2013 and she just wants to be normal and have her body work. Sadly DD1 put up in instagram a sweet photo of a congratulations on graduating to her brother at her mums who is the same age as DD ( DD1 is my step aged 27 but she lived with us 50% since age 4 and we have never bothered with 'half') and has just finished his degree. Usually these things wash over me but this just broke my heart and DDs. It's so tough sometimes, yesterday she said all she wants is to go swimming or ice skating ( her toe favourite things). She can't even get out of bed. And this current virus or whatever has slain her really. My DSis is sending some USA drink supplements ( she's a former paediatrician USA based) in case she's not allergic.

Oh well

Blouse: mango ( I thought a bit sezane at tesco prices!)
Jeans: gap
Sandals: Eva Birkenstock

Sorry for my sporadic posting, been workout gear/comfy clothes lately as I succumbed to the PMS, and also went a bit crazy cleaning and reorganising! Just away to get properly dressed, so will post an outfit in a bit.

@quantumdog I love your style! And I want to steal your cat, and maybe those piggies!

@Terralee more cat love! I have a very soft spot for tuxedo cats.

@Judystilldreamsofhorses She is absolutely gorgeous!

Very jealous of those with horses, I’ve always dreamed of having one but I don’t have the time to commit to one right now and I’d have no idea where to start.

Am I too late to contribute to the pet pictures? There’s the matriarch of the house, my darling cat who turned 18 last month (no one has told her she’s old). x 3 springers which are permanent, 6, 8 and 10, younger two are failed fosters that never moved on... Finally, our current foster dog (who will be moving on, she’s currently being matched with a home) who is 18 months and absolutely off her head! I’d forgot how crazy a young spaniel is, but she’s a darling wee thing and I will be very sad when she leaves.

Hello All can I join you? I had an initial Zara splurge at the beginning of lockdown but am now trying to make more of my existing wardrobe. No pics due to lockdown weight gain but am in stone coloured jersey combats with a plain white t-shirt, together with Sketchers flipflops. Earrings and bracelet from Accessorize. DH was lovely and bought me an Alexander McQueen bag from Naughtipidgins as a lockdown treat but am not planning on getting anything else.....
