Shoes would be Birkenstocks

Excuse the slightly odd pose - I had to go and rescue the toddler from a Teams meeting so I was in a hurry!

I really, really like your outfit today @Sooverthemill. You’re looking especially stylish!

AnUnlikelyWorldofInvisibleShad · 25/06/2020 09:49

Very thin dungarees from hollister today with a pale blue sainsburys t-shirt. I think I'll be boiling whatever I wear.

Loving all of the outfits. The last few days have just been shorts and T-shirt’s. It’s been beautiful hasn’t it. Makes me wish I lived near the sea!

Today - dress. Might be it’s last wear as I’m not sure.

@Justonedayatatime11 the play suit looks lovely.

@Justonedayatatime11 you don't look wobbly thighed at all & even when my thighs were literally all muscle they still wobbled it's normal.
@Sooverthemill I agree you are looking good not that you don't normally.
I'm not sure about this outfit don't know why.

I just ordered a pair of those lovely yellow alexa trousers from Lucy & Yak. The cropped top i wanted was out of stock but I guess that saves me some money. I wasn't really meant to be buying anything. Oops

TheOnlyMrsW · 25/06/2020 10:31

@Sooverthemill I love hot weather but DH and DD are not fans, makes holidays interesting especially when factoring DSS2 who loves the heat but burns to a cinder in seconds 😊. I was disappointed with the Hush sale too, just as well as I've too many clothes as it is!
@Shannith & @Planetaryexplorer I love both your floors!
@Justonedayatatime11 you look amazing!

Dress - FatFace
Sandals - Birkenstock thanks @happytobemrsg they came up beautifully!

Thank you everyone! I’m sure the postman appreciated my outfit!

Justonedayatatime11 · 25/06/2020 10:38

Softpebbles I LOVE that dress. Can I ask where it's from please?

toastfiend · 25/06/2020 10:47

@Sooverthemill 2 paddling pools is definitely a good shout! I love your outfit today, too. Smile

@AnUnlikelyWorldofInvisibleShad I have a definite Mum tum, so definitely not an ideal candidate for cropped t-shirts, but I find them much cooler under dungarees, and I like them with high-waisted trousers, which hide the evidence of my love for pizza... 😂

It's so, so hot today already, and I'm hugely grumpy about it. Roll on winter! (I know I'll be in the minority on this one). DS sleeps so well usually, and has done since he was around 11 months, but he really struggles in the heat. He was up last night from 10.30pm until 2.30am, then again at 5am. Bless him, he's still pretty cheerful today, but we're all knackered.

I have my loosest, coolest dress on as I have some meetings today, so can't just walk around in my pants, which is what I would ideally like to do.

Dress - Compania Fantastica

@obliettebravo I love the gold sandals with that outfit. You don’t need to buy any new clothes! You have loads of lovely ones already.

@sooverthemill that top is amazing and really suits you. Good news in a way that they can’t find anything bad but it must be so frustrating.

@justonedayatatime11 kept it on! You have perfect legs and it really suits you.

@kitmarlow excellent top and pose.

Lovely outfits everyone. I briefly wore an old gap midi dress that is light as a feather and was still too hot so bikini in the garden it is (no one can see me)

happytobemrsg · 25/06/2020 10:49

WFH today so I’ve got two fans blasting at my face 😅

Top: Lucy & Yak
Linen joggers: H&M
Necklace: Missoma

As I kept the vast majority of my recent L&Y haul I need to be be specific on what I need to buy going forward. All I really need this summer is some chunky black sandals. If I can limit my spending to that, I’ll be amazed!

Nice top @piscis!

You look fab @Ellapaella

Sooverthemill · 25/06/2020 11:03

@Shannith it is so frustrating and DD is really upset because she feels the medics don't believe her. I feel similarly and just wish they would come out to see her! She has been super ill now since around DHs birthday ( 10 May) with blinding headache, nausea, vomiting, enlarged tonsils with white pus ( sorry) and extra fatigued so much so that even the basics like cleaning teeth and chewing food is going by the wayside. It's not her 'normal' which we've learned to live with. Apologies

I also love the tank and have ordered the grey one in the sake ( at the weekend I caved) as it seems like such a good buy!

Softpebbles · 25/06/2020 11:05

@Justonedayatatime11 it was top shop last year. I don’t like how it is around the tops of my arms. Always seem to have a flap 🤦‍♀️

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 25/06/2020 11:47

Everyone looks lovely and summery! I’m wearing Kodak logo t-shirt from H&M, Topshop culottes, and leopard print Nikes.

Lots of lovely outfits, agree @Shannith has amazing legs!

Honest opinions please - is this swimsuit ok? I’ve always been a bikini girl but I’m not feeling at all confident since having my baby and have put on a stone in lockdown. I’m currently a U.K. 10-12 (5”7 tall) so appreciate I am not huge but I used to be a tiny Size 6/8 so am still getting used to my current shape. I actually don’t dislike being slightly bigger but don’t think I’m confident in a bikini these days.

Hoped this costume would disguise my slightly wobbly tummy.....

@KiteflyingKat it's gorgeous, as are you! Don't forget we are Our own worst critics...

happytobemrsg · 25/06/2020 12:03

You look incredible @KiteflyingKat

AnUnlikelyWorldofInvisibleShad · 25/06/2020 12:23

@KiteflyingKat you look fantastic in that swimsuit!!

Softpebbles · 25/06/2020 13:00

@KiteflyingKat you look amazing. X

Shannith · 25/06/2020 13:20

@kiteflyingkat you look amazing - perfectly proportioned and toned and you have excellent legs!

In terms of size pre and post baby we are about the same. (though it's been 9 years here so hardly a valid excuse for me)

I get the feeling uncomfortable because it's not what you used to see but embrace what you have because you've got an amazing figure and I bet look even better than you did before.

Justonedayatatime11 · 25/06/2020 13:20

KiteflyingKat* you look fantastic and I love the swimsuit, can I ask where it's from please? We seem to be a similar shape, I'm also 5ft 7 and used to be a 6/8, now I'm more like a 10/11! You look amazing though

KiteflyingKat · 25/06/2020 14:18

Thank you Everyone

It’s this one @Justonedayatatime11

Also I’ve ordered the other colour combo too. It comes up quite small & probably not good for anyone with a large bust as the cups aren’t massive

Peachypips78 · 25/06/2020 16:30

@KiteflyingKat the cossie looks fantastic. You could def pull off a bikini too. You look just the right size and weight for your height.

Of today's offerings I particularly like @Justonedayatatime11 's playsuit. Wonder if it's still in stock.

Working today but too hot for anything more formal so wearing a jersey culotte jumpsuit from Sainsbury's and gold sandals from fitflop. I have to have closed-toe as I work in a psych inpatient unit and it was really hard to find comfy closed-toe sandals. I quite like these though- feel like trainers on.
