Hi everyone - such a busy thread, and some lovely summer outfits, all looking fab Smile

@happytobemrsg I really like your short dungarees. I totally empathise with the 'nothing to wear' moments, especially in the summer. I've never really got the hang of a summer wardrobe!

@Sickoffamilydrama adding my positive thoughts for the future of your business. Hope things start to look up soon.

@Sooverthemill I love all your dresses from the other day, lovely and summery

@Judystilldreamsofhorses fantastic print on your skirt!

@EllaPaella and @OublietteBravo both your dresses today look great, perfect for the sunshine

@MerlinsButler I'm wearing my hush harems today, I'm now tempted to get them in blue as well Smile

So a few parcels have arrived in my quest for a new, longer summer dress... I've narrowed it down but I definitely don't need three - what you all think? I'd definitely value some honest opinions.

First one is oasis with a John Lewis belt (I think I'm going to keep the belt either way) and the others are new look - as expected the blue one would need taking up but I reckon I should be able to manage that since I can't take it in anywhere at the moment.

Thinking I'd wear them with white trainers or sandals?

Love your outfit @KiteflyingKat

Lovely dress @OublietteBravo like the trainers too

I’ve never heard of Ruby & Daisy @TheOnlyMrsW

Working in the office today. Really warm so I tried on my shorts & hate them. Will be putting in the charity pile. Yesterday I ordered some fun dungaree shorts from L&Y. Stitchfix box is arriving tomorrow- super exciting!

Very boring look today.

T-shirt: New Look
Jeans: New Look

@PalacePaper I love the green dress - the others look great too, but that one is my favourite.

Thank you for all the skirt love. Those Monki midi skirts are great value, wash brilliantly, and come in about a dozen prints. I also have a green one with dots and triangles on it.

Today I am wearing red culottes from Miss Selfridge, spaceship t-shirt from Joanie, and Adidas Continental 80s. It is cold now, so might need to put on a cardigan.

@EllaPaella that's a lovely dress! It's nice to see everyone looking so summery after what felt like an ENDLESS winter!

cravingthelook · 21/05/2020 11:54

@PalacePaper

The blue is my favourite and I love that it's long ... might have to go look for that one

Top from New Look
Skirt from H&M about five years ago

@PalacePaper I like 1 best then 3 then 2.

happytobemrsg · 21/05/2020 12:21

@PalacePaper I agree with Sooverthemill

@PalacePaper I'm with Sooverthemill and happy

@happytobemrsg R&D are a local shop to me possibly outing but they deliver all over the UK as well Smile

Softpebbles · 21/05/2020 14:04

I think the blue one, then the red then the green!

@OublietteBravo I love the warehouse dress. I looked at it many times and wish I had bought it!

MerlinsButler · 21/05/2020 14:53

Lovely summery outfits again today. I'm just wearing my shorts from yesterday with an old t shirt so no picture from me. Am in clear out mode. It could take me a while. I have sooooo many shoes. Some are still in Their boxes unworn 😊. Must hide those again.

Love those dresses @Oubliettebravo and @Ellapaella. I can never seem to pull off long dresses unless I'm on a beach 🤷🏻‍♀️

@KitefkyingKat that whistles silk vest is gorgeous too.

@Palacepaper I think they're all lovely but prefer number 3 then number 1 then number 2. Do love the John Lewis belt too.

@happytobemrsg loving your casual look today. Can't wait to see your stitch fix items.

Terralee · 21/05/2020 15:09

@itsquidstella I do like your skirt pattern

Today I'm wearing the cotton dress I bought in Tesco on Tuesday with my Havianas from Schuh, which are really comfy & I love the design on the sole.

@PalacePaper I like pink dress best on you.

I think the green looks a bit big, looks like it overwhelms your frame although it is a nice dress.

DKanin · 21/05/2020 19:29

Hi everyone! Hope you don't mind if I join. Some beautiful outfits on this thread!

I wanted to ask @toastfiend are your loose fit Hush jeans the boyfriend or the relaxed fit ones? I have been looking at them on the website for ages and yours look like the exact sort of fit I was hoping for!

Sickoffamilydrama · 21/05/2020 19:58

Hi all i've just realised I didn't post yesterday but took a picture and expected it to magically post itself. Love all the skirts and dresses @PalacePaper the green and blue are the nicest.

Yesterday I tried a bralette underneath my low back floaty dress, think I need to get a navy one as this didn't work.
Dress is from local shop but have seen similar on eBay. It must iron that bow I've I ever go out in public again 😂
Today I'm in a Boden dress that has pockets

@MerlinsButler I missed your Alma jeans! They look good, I'm obviously such a short arse

MerlinsButler · 21/05/2020 21:11

@sooverthemill lol. I thought that about me when I saw @Ellapaella in hers. But you persuaded me. I think we all look great in them. The holy grail of jeans!!

PalacePaper · 22/05/2020 07:02

Thank you for the views on the dresses everyone, I really appreciate it. I'm going to keep the pink and the blue Smile I really like the green one as well but it doesn't fit quite as well and I think it would bug me, and then I wouldn't wear it.

Sunny again but windy and cold outside. @Terralee I love the pattern on your flip-flops, it's the sort of thing I'd love to have on a dress!

Top - Elsies Attic
Trousers - FatFace
Sandals - Birkenstock
Will definitely change into trainers to go out later.

@KiteflyingKat you look AMAZING today! Really lovely I can't work out especially what is good but it all adds up to fabulous!
@OublietteBravo love the jumper colour really nice
@softpebbles such a cosy outfit.

It's warm here though it's rained overnight and the forecast is good so I'm in a dress from last year. I've put on weight so trying not to be too down on myself but it doesn't look as good as last year. Oh well, as we have had a really hard couple of weeks I've fallen into comfort eating. DD is so bad I've ordered a home Covid test ( she's shielded) and I'm still shattered. Last time her symptoms varied from her standard range of weirdness she was diagnosed with cancer so I'm hoping it's 'just' covid. Also have mild symptoms myself , mainly nausea and a temperature. Which sucks as obviously we have been 100% careful

Oh dress Boden
Sandals ancient Birkenstock Sydney's probably 6 years old

Softpebbles · 22/05/2020 09:29

Oh Soover. Sorry to hear that. I hope it’s just a bug and not covid. Does make you wonder how we can catch them when we aren’t going any where. Your dress looks lovely. X
