I prefer the dress with the belt @Sooverthemill. Although it looks fine either way.

itssquidstella · 15/06/2020 13:02

I vote no belt, @Sooverthemill!

Nice All Saints T-shirt @Softpebbles :)

As promised, I'm back in my Hush jeans, with an All Saints T-shirt - it has little chains on the shoulders which I really like!

Lovely outfits. @toastfiend love that Zara dress, you look amazing.
@happytobemrsg you look lovely - am rather jealous of anyone having nice enough weather for dresses!
@Sooverthemill I think I prefer it with a belt, but looks lovely without one too.
Blouse - Noanoa
Jeans - Phase 8

You look lovely @Ellapaella!

My lucy and Yak came. I'm not totally sure I've got extra weigh still to lose so I might return it all and try again. The Kia's I love but are tight across the bum. The alexa (belt was the first I came to) and Luna I've attached photos. I'm not sure

I like those Alexas, @Shadeslayer.

happytobemrsg · 15/06/2020 14:36

Looks like the Luna fit you perfectly @Shadeslayer. I think the fit & excess material on the alexas take a bit of getting used to but I love mine now. Which Kia’s did you buy? I think they are supposed to be an all round tighter fit than the alexas but I wear the same size in both.

@toastfiend will you be grabbing some Addisons????

OP posts:
Shadeslayer · 15/06/2020 15:10

These are the Kia.

The are just a little snug when sitting. I think the extra weight is making it hard for me to see anything but belly tbh.

happytobemrsg · 15/06/2020 15:51

Have you posted a pic of the Kias @Shadeslayer? I can’t see it.

Shadeslayer · 15/06/2020 15:56

Oh it didn't attach.

Loving everyone's outfits. Feels like summer finally.

Love that shirt and jeans combo @oubliettebravo and yours @EllaPaella that blouse is gorgeous.

@sooverthemill I personally think without a belt but it really suits you either way. Hope your dog is better soon.

@happytobemrsg I love that dress, it looks very cool and floaty. And live your earrings too. I do like Missoma jewellery I've been trying to persuade myself that I should get some bits to cheer me up (not that I'm fed up or anything but I'm a magpie. I love shiny things.)

@Toastfiend that dress looks perfect for a work event. You look v smart.

Everyone else looks lovely too.

I've noticed more jewellery In outfits, I Think I need to wear more of my jewellery. I always feel more me with jewellery but haven't really bothered in lockdown.

@judystilldreamsofhorses I like those whistles jeans. Are they the barrel ones?

Warm but thundery here so just jeans and t shirt weather. Top, jeans and sandals - Matalan, belt - Mint Velvet

happytobemrsg · 15/06/2020 16:55

Oh I love those on you @Shadeslayer! I’d also recommend the black floral Kia’s - I love mine and surprisingly goes with a lot of tops.

Definitely check out Missoma @MerlinsButler, although I tend to wait for sales/Black Friday

happytobemrsg · 15/06/2020 16:55

@MerlinsButler you could check out Alighieri too. DH & the DC have bought me a beautiful necklace from there for my birthday

@happytobemrsg I'm keeping the Lunas sending the others back but I think I will get pair of patterned Kia once I'm working more.

Shadeslayer · 15/06/2020 17:36

@EllaPaella I love that blouse

toastfiend · 15/06/2020 18:10

Thanks @sickoffamilydrama, @Ellapaella, and @MerlinsButler. It turned out to be fine and plenty smart enough, so that was good. I'm in my L&Y Alexas and an old top now as took DS for a walk this afternoon.

@happytobemrsg I bought a pair of the denim Addisons, yeah. I like them. Bit torn about the size. My stripes are a 30" waist but I bought them at around 5 months post-partum when I still had a baby belly (I mean, I still have a belly now, but not as much as then). These are a 30" waist too, but they're very loose around my legs and I've got quite a bit of spare material around my waist, too, so wondering if I'm better going for the 28". Equally, I don't think I've got 2" spare, and don't want to be uncomfortable in them all the time, so wondering if a more relaxed fit is better. I'm not totally sold on the new tie-dye Addisons. Think they'll look amazing on other people, but not sure I'd get the wear out of them, so think I'll leave them for now. I also bought the Coles and have amazed myself with how much I love them and their 90s vibes.

@toastfiend what are the Coles?

TheOnlyMrsW · 15/06/2020 18:29

Humid and horrible today, I wish the thunder and lightning we've been forecast would turn up I love a good storm!
@Sickoffamilydrama @EllaPaella love both of your tops today.
@Shadeslayer the L&Y haul looks great on you.
Just pj's again today for me which no-one needs a picture of Grin.
Could I ask DM Blaire owners for tips please, I have been looking at them since I saw someone wearing them at a festival a couple of years ago. But I have a pair of DM boots downstairs that I never broke in properly, and I also live in a fairly damp corner of the North West so couldn't guarantee them being worn all summer! I suppose my worry is not wearing them often enough to justify the cost. So I guess my question is how are they to wear straight away? And do you lovely ladies wear them lots? TIA

MerlinsButler · 15/06/2020 18:45

Thanks for the tips @happytobemrsg I'll take a look.

@toastfiend I love that denim and docs combo.

toastfiend · 15/06/2020 20:02

@Shadeslayer these are the Coles.

happytobemrsg · 15/06/2020 20:05

@toastfiend I’ve ordered the tie dye Addisons in 28/30 & 30/30 & the denim in 30/30. I also think I’m between the 28 & 30. Hoping I prefer them to the stripes. My last attempt at liking the Addisons! I thought it was worth trying one more time. I don’t blame you for not getting the tie dye - I think the print/colours are a gamble.

OP posts:
happytobemrsg · 15/06/2020 20:06

I bought the Blaire DMs @TheOnlyMrsW but I’m returning them. I have very skinny feet & the straps wouldn’t sit flush. They looked gorgeous on though & felt very comfy

KiteflyingKat · 15/06/2020 21:02

@toastfiend love the Coles! They take me back to my university days when my housemate always used to wear the most ridiculously wide leg jeans with Adidas Superstars and looked really cool

itssquidstella · 15/06/2020 21:34

I love the outfit with the flower T-shirt, @toastfiend
