How are you feeling about clothes right now?

[notonmywatchyouwont]

Are you....Bored so buying loads (currently me) trying to nail that elusive perfect summer wardrobe so buying loads (me) staying at home not seeing anyone so not buying any? Saving tons of money waiting for the next season you'll be "seen"?!

I’m living in leggings or shorts and T-shirt’s/vests. My work is casual anyway so usually it’s jeans and T-shirt’s. It’s made me realise I don’t actually need anywhere near the amount of clothes I have. I have treated myself to some run and fly dungarees though, it’s just too warm to wear them at the moment!

Things are getting a bit tighter so need to rein in the wine drinking and start doing some proper exercise rather than having a stroll and calling it a brisk walk. At the start of lockdown I bought a couple of bits from Zara and 3 pairs of wide legged trousers from Uniqlo. Found they were more comfy for WFH than sitting in jeans all day. Over the last 3 weeks or so I've been wearing some of my work dresses with a little bit of make up and jewellery just to get me in work mode.

I was going to buy myself a new bag - Naughtipidgins Nest has opened again - but looked at what I've already got and decided against. I did buy a lovely Alexander McQueen scarf/wrap though. Had a busy and meh sort of week so decided I needed a treat.

Annoyed that nothing fits

[tobermoryisthebestwomble]

I'm still at work. I've bought a couple of work dresses from wallis and m waiting 2 handbags from kurt Geiger as I found they are doing 50% off for nhs staff! I also bought some sandals online and returned them as I have very narrow feet. I really need the shoe shops to open so i can try sandals on. I m trying to make n effort with hair and make up for work and have started wearing jewellery daily. I have decided there is no point saving stuff for best, and I will enjoy my things every day.

I don't think I'll bother with new summer clothes. I have things that fit from previous years and my holiday is already cancelled. I'm eating and drinking a bit more than usual but no real weight gain as I'm rushing about lots at work and taking super long walks most days. I am missing the gym and cant motivate myself to exercise regularly excepting the walks, so I'm probably heading towards 'out of shape' which affects how I feel in my clothes.

[AsCoolAsLangCleg]

Bought a lovely silk blouse in the sale but it's a bit tight on the arms. Size is my usual in that brand. Not sure whether to send back or hope it fits when I've got rid of the lockdown lard, which I am now working on.

I just bought a couple of things in the Toast sale, first clothes I've bought for myself since February (normally buy something most months). Doesn't feel like much point buying new clothes if no-one can see them. My spending is all on the house and garden at the moment, trouble is the delivery isn't as fast, bought a hanging chair for the garden in April and it's not due to arrive for another couple of weeks. And things for the house tend to be more expensive than a clothes so I have to restrain myself (although our bank accounts look very healthy).

I tried to buy some basics from Gap and am sending all but one white t-shirt back. I really want thicker, longer white v necks if anyone has any ideas.

I've added three Boden items to the "sell" pile but happily one of my favourite dresses fits so I'm wearing it. The zip is stiff but maybe a candle will sort that out?

[Yorkshirelass04]

I've spent a shit ton of money on clothes since lockdown. I think it's my link to the outside world - and a reminder I can look good!

I'm with the poster that said they browse clothes on work zoom calls!!

[MrsHuntGeneNotJeremyObviously]

I've just been on the Next site - it's so laggy I gave up looking at clothes. I did get some of that nice Paradise perfume though - cheap as chips and so lovely.

[BillBaileysBum]

Rainallnight I think treat yourself to something lovely, you’re having a shit time of it. I’m so sorry about your Mum.

[Buggedandconfused]

I’ve bought a dress and some jeans that I wouldn’t normally be able to afford because the sales have been so good.

[Rainallnight]

But now that I see that written down, maybe I’d feel better if I had some nice new clothes? The weight thing is a problem, though.

[Rainallnight]

I’ve lost interest and I LOVE clothes. I’m temporarily a SAHM, my mum has just died, I’m in lockdown and I’ve put on lockdown weight. There’s no point.

[Blankscreen]

I'm not feeling the clothes love at the moment I don't really see what the point is of buying anything new.

I need some new t shirts but I hate buying clothes online so won't bother unless the shops open.

I really could do with some new exercise clothes so will get some of those.

[drspouse]

My DS HT has a great rainbow T-Shirt but I can't ask her where she got it, can I?

[CloudsCanLookLikeSheep]

Basically buying anything rainbow themed. I love rainbows.. got rainbow shoes, cardi, nightie, bracelet. Can you tell I'm furloughed and bored?

[notonmywatchyouwont]

Mediterranean granny look, bingo wings and all.

😂

[Ardnassa]

I adore beautiful clothes. But spending all day at home means I can no longer escape the realisation that I have so many. So have stopped buying (and sold some stuff) as the thought of adding to the several wardrobes' worth of clothes ( which all "spark joy" at least) is just too much.

[Splodgetastic]

Tight. I feel they are tight. I am rocking the boilersuits in the manner of a minor dictator. If it is really hot I am going for the Mediterranean granny look, bingo wings and all.

[BobbinThreadbare123]

Tubby!
Got some new running trainers coming in the post....

[GenuineKlatchianPottery]

I’ve genuinely got nothing that fits, I donated all my clothes that no longer fit me at the start of the year, which left me with a couple of jumpers and 2 pairs of jeans. My plan was to get down to a 12/14 for Summer. It hasn’t happened and I’m still a 16.
So this week I’ve ordered a load of cheapish things that should see me through to Autumn.
3 pairs of trousers, 2 dresses, denim jacket, 2 white shirts, 3 white t shirts, 2 pairs of sandals and a pair of mint green loafers. And 10 pairs of cotton granny knickers.
I’m overdue my eyes testing so as soon as I’m able I’ll be getting my new glasses and a haircut. I refuse to carry on looking like an old frump just because I’m a few sizes bigger than I’m used to being.

[TheHumansAreDefinitelyDead]

I love having the right clothes for the right occasion, in terms of comfort and style

As I am now doing long walks every day, I have splurged on Hush girlfriend chinos as they are super comfy and breathable with a bit of stretch, perfect for hiking. They also fit nicely around the hips, no elasticated waist, don’t look boring, and wash well

So I now have 3 pairs

I also hunted high and low for the perfect denim shorts: mid rise , not tight, real denim but with a tiny bit of stretch, not teenage-short, not Bermuda long.... I found them

All my pretty work clothes are hanging unloved at the back of my closet as I embrace my new middle aged hiking style....

[gingersausage]

I just don’t care at the moment. The only thing I’ve bought recently is a pair of trainers I’d been coveting that I couldn’t afford, so when they popped up on eBay I grabbed them. Other than that I haven’t even looked at any clothing websites which is unlike me.

I got my summer clothes out last week and most of them were practically unworn, so I’m not in any rush to buy any more. Like PPs have said, I have way too many clothes already for my lifestyle.

[woodhill]

Online obviously😊

[woodhill]

I did buy a top and bra in Debenhams.

While I'm at home I tend to wear my old stuff from other years. Rarely leave the house
