@kiteflyingcat love the dress, it's a beautiful colour and very classy. Like you I've not left the countryside for months so I'm only up-to-date on the latest dog walking gear, but that's how I'd wear it. Same to you @justo edayatatime11

Could it be the new mumsnet —scarve— dress?

@sooverthemill that shorts and top combo really suits you.

Nice dress @toastfiend and even the non boring boring outfits are more stylish than I’ve managed today. Though I did train my sweet peas so nearly bean growing!

My DM has sent me some clothes for my birthday. They are... not really me. I’m not entirely sure what stage of my life she had in mind, but despite my advancing years, it’s not one I’ve quite reached yet. Possibly WI, bridge club, opening a church fete, mother of the bride?

I can’t tell her I don’t like them, she means well and I love her and she’s not very well at the moment , so I had a quick got at styling them so I don’t look like I’m a going to arrange roses with the vicar.

This jacket https://www.wallis.co.uk/en/wluk/product/clothing-265973/jackets-blazers-2181084/blush-ribbed-blazer-9562564

I can’t find the actual shirt, but it’s like this, except flowers with a standard collar and silver thread

I’ll post some of my attempts. Any ideas you have would be appreciated. To be fair, I’ll only probably wear it when I see her. But I do have to spend 2 1/2 hours on tube and trains to get there...

Thanks for all the dress love!

@Shannith I’d try the jacket with jeans, I’m picturing relaxed fit, (possibly even ones with a rip if you have any) with turned up hems, trainers, a cool t-shirt underneath. Is it the style or the colour you’re not sure about?

Shannith · 17/05/2020 20:59

@KiteflyingKat actually the jacket is ok. It's quite a nice cut and the blouse is a nice shape it's just maybe a bit too far actual granny than granny chic.

I must be the only person in the world with no mom jeans. I do have some blazer type jackets that I'd wear with ripped jeans, but they are a bit less weddingy

I think my mum might cry if I worse it with trainers, but I'll have a go and post pics (that's it these ones do, ever seems to work on the app)

@KiteflyingKat that dress is gorgeous.

@Sooverthemill jealous you got to wear shirts but live the top.

@happytobemrsg love the pattern in the dungarees

@Justonedayatatime11 love the twinning

@Oubliettebravo love your casual outfits. I always revert to Scruffs when doing those errands. You make me want to up my game.

@Sickoffamilydrama I think sometimes simple outfits are good. Sometimes we overthink things.

@Palacepaper I think you can just have one box then cancel. I've set my box duration for every 2 months. It was every 3 months but you choose what suits you x love today's outfit. That skirt and t is so relaxed and looks like such a comfy outfit.

@toastfiend that dress is gorgeous. Suits you so much.

@EllaPaella always love your casual outfits. Have ordered my hush jeans. Should have been in Tenerife this week so just feeling a bit meh too.

@Shannith actually I like how you've styled them but also @KiteflyingKat had great suggestions to dress them both down which I think would work great. . I've just come round to the idea of a great blazer so might be biased.

Also totally off topic. But I love love love your mirror.

Apologies for the bad picture i had errands to run yesterday so wore my new green jumper but forgot to post.

No picture for today yet as just about to take the dog out and nobody wants to see my dog walking gear.

I'm very excited - the lovely new look blue dress was out of stock in my size yesterday but I checked this morning and they had one in stock so I've ordered Grin

Thank you @KiteflyingKat and @Justonedayatatime11 for sharing your pictures as I probably wouldn't have chosen it without seeing how lovely it looks on both of you. Now fingers crossed it fits...🤞🏻

Morning. I apologise for the creased top - I
would’ve ironed it if I was going into the office. Probably. I’ve been considering getting rid of these jeans. But having rolled up the legs for a change, I think I like them again.

@PalacePaper I sized up for the New Look dress - mine is size 12 and perfect fit. I’m normally a 10.

@PalacePaper look forward to seeing your dress.

@OublietteBravo ironing - what's that? Really like those jeans on you.

Thanks for the dress love. Smile I've not worn it for a while, nice to get it out again!

Back to my usual suspects today. I've got a fairly important meeting later, but I'm hoping as they can only see my upper half. I'm going to test it on a call this morning and then decide whether I need to change or not! 😂

@toastfiend absolutely love your outfit !
The colour and style are gorgeous.
Unfortunately if I attempted to pull that look off ..I would look like I was a plumber off to fix a bathroom leak.

Wow you've all been chatty!@EllaPaella ( have you changed your name?) of course you are miserable! Just go with it. Sometimes I torture myself with photos pre illness, sometimes it makes me smile knowing that those times will come again.

Love that everyone is getting the blue dress!
@kite I love your dress @ toast gorgeous dungarees @oubliette iron? What is that?@shannith take them with love she intended for you. If she's unwell it's such a lovely thing to make time for her to do. An the jacket and blouse look good the way you've worn them. At least when you see her next you can wear them x
I'm all hopeful in shorts again
Shorts: m and s
Tee: hush
Sandals: m and s
Sweatshirt ( which I should have taken off for photo!) now hung over garden chair: hush

Am waiting for replacement cardigan to arrive plus 2 hush bits and if I get any free time this week I'm going to go through tees and tops to get rid of tatty ones rather than just shoving new ones on top

Good to see we have a new Mumsnet dress!!

I see what you mean @Shannith but there might be ways to style them (esp the blazer) to make it work. Not overly keen on the blouse.

Lovely & warm today & I’m working from my little office so I’ve got my legs out 😳 no judging please 😂

Morning all, cold again here today so I've reverted to my autumn/winter uniform!

Dress - FatFace
Cardigan - M&S
Boots - Monsoon

@MerlinsButler love your mirror, it's gorgeous. @toastfiend your dress yesterday is beautiful too. Finding things very meh at the moment, I can't really get motivated with nothing to look forward to except wfh, ferrying for mum and dad and keeping dd's spirits up. I know we're lucky compared to a lot of people but feel like a proper tantrum about it all 😞. Oh well, KBO!!!

@Kiteflyingkat I'm usually a 10-12 and ordered the 12 so hopefully it will be okay...clearly going to be far too long though, I'll have to get the sewing machine out!

Kiteflying and @happytobemrsg I love your dresses today, and your t-shirt @Sooverthemill

@MerlinsButler even in a blurry photo your green jumper is gorgeous Smile

I'm wearing my new mint velvet t-shirt, Levi jeans and cardigan from H&M as it's a beautiful day but chilly in the house.

@Shannith I like both the blazer and the blouse, they’re both quite versatile and can be worn with jeans, capris etc. The advice you’ve been given already is along the lines of what I’d give you too, blush pink is really nice on you, I’m jealous!

@toastfiend yesterday’s dress was so nice, I also had a wee look on anthropologie, I’m now obsessed, my bank account is not so much - I already have a fairfax and favor list that doesn’t need a friend! Also I love that you can rock a boiler suit, that colour is great on you.

@KiteflyingKat More dress love today, that’s gorgeous.

@Sooverthemill I’m very jealous you can wear shorts! You must be in one of those nice coastal places where the sea breeze doesn’t cause you to freeze Grin Also lots of sandal envy!

Very basic/casual for me today, I think I’m safe from cycling for today at least, I love it because it gets us out of the city and in the fresh air but my legs are feeling the 60km+ in the last three days
