[quote toastfiend]@thetrinityishite if it was cotton twill in a bright turquoise-y colour it's a Lucy & Yak Frankie boilersuit. If it was a paler sagey green in corduroy then it's a Lucy & Yak Eddie boilersuit. Smile Sadly, the Eddie in mint green sold out a while ago, although I'm not sure if they'll be making any more of them - but they do pop up on depop sometimes. Smile[/quote]
@toastfiend - thank you. It was the bright turquoise one. I'm off to search the Facebook resale pages!

toastfiend · 28/06/2020 08:27

@thetrinityishite good luck! I think they re-released that one this year, so you have a good chance as it's not a rare limited edition or anything. I think I got mine last year through an ISO of post on one of the groups, so that's worth a try. Smile

I bought new hangers & sorted out my wardrobe yesterday. Looking at it makes me so happy!!! Also shows me I really don’t need any more clothes & I feel an eBay purge coming on.

Wearing the brightest outfit I have today 💛🧡😅

Crop top: Lucy & Yak
Trousers: Lucy & Yak

mrsg I did the same - except I didn’t buy enough hangers so am waiting for the rest to arrive. I bought the velvety skinny ones from amazon. Which make it seem like I’ve got way more space.

Today’s outfit:

Topshop skinnies
Newlook Tshirt - tucked at the front
Newlook leopard espadrilles

I bought white wooden hangers from Dunelm @ememem84 which look lovely but unfortunately take up more space than my previous mismatch plastic ones 🙈

Definitely a day for happy and cheerful lucy and yak dungarees today.

OublietteBravo · 28/06/2020 11:08

Thanks for the input yesterday. I’ve decided I’m keeping the jumpsuit, and the blouse is going back. This was my initial instinct, but DH has the opposite opinion and that made me doubt myself.

I’m loving all the cheerful colours today. @AnUnlikelyWorldofInvisibleShad - I especially love dungarees - which I’d never be brave enough to wear.

I’m not quite sure what the weather is going to do today. So far it’s sunny and windy. I need to get changed into decorating clothes soon anyway.

Shirt: Hush
Jeans: Mint Velvet
Shoes: Clarks (they don’t photograph well as they’re aubergine and a very similar colour to the carpet which definitely needs replacing)

I haven't posted for a few days as just not wearing anything different, just in black leggings, T-shirt, hoody, denim jacket.
Just got no reason to dress up really.

But tomorrow got a work meeting actually at work so may make an effort as there may be men around!!

TheOnlyMrsW · 28/06/2020 11:44

@OublietteBravo belatedly adding my agreement to the yes jumpsuit & no blouse to the others from yesterday.
Trousers - Lucy and Yak
Top - Next
Trainers - Next

@Lobsterquadrille2 - I like the dress. I think it’s a keep.

AnUnlikelyWorldofInvisibleShad · 28/06/2020 12:54

@OublietteBravo I adore my dungarees, wouldnt be without them now but I do think I look like a Child in them. Especially todays rainbow ones.

toastfiend · 28/06/2020 14:54

Dungarees - Run & Fly

Love the Rainbowz @AnUnlikelyWorldofInvisibleShad. Smile still kicking myself for not buying them when they were on the site!

AnUnlikelyWorldofInvisibleShad · 28/06/2020 14:55

@toastfiend I LOVE those dungarees

AnUnlikelyWorldofInvisibleShad · 28/06/2020 14:56

Haha cross post! Thank you. They are fantastic summer dungarees.

happytobemrsg · 28/06/2020 17:21

I’m planning on wearing my leopards tomorrow @toastfiend!

spencermoon · 28/06/2020 20:22

Also a big fan of your dungarees! @toastfiend

Top - superdry
Jeans - (ancient) Next

Posting these pics has had the unintended consequence of reminding me how much I hate my bedroom Confused Grin

Those leopard print dungarees are amazing!

Lucy and Yak people, the dungarees aren’t for me, but I am tempted by the Alexa trousers. I am a size 10, but big bum/hips - what size would I need? I fancy the black ones but reviews say they really pick up lint, does anyone have those? We have a very hairy white cat, so maybe they would be a disaster?

OublietteBravo · 28/06/2020 22:41

These are a similar style to the Alexa and the blurb says they don’t pick up lint as much (they’re tencel rather than cotton):

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 28/06/2020 22:53

Thanks @oubliettebravo they look like they might be too slim in the legs for me. Maybe now is not the time to crack my L&Y virginity!

toastfiend · 28/06/2020 23:02

Thanks for the dungaree love! Got to love a bit of leopard print!

@Judystilldreamsofhorses you'd probably be best in a small in the Alexas. I wouldn't go for the black if you have a fluffy white cat, though. I don't have the Alexas in black, but have a Juni boilersuit and an Eddie boilersuit in black, same fabric as the Alexas, and they pick up every bit of fluff going! Would the grey be any good? I have them and they're a 'sensible' colour, can look smart, and don't pick up lint and fluff etc. Smile

happytobemrsg · 28/06/2020 23:45

@Judystilldreamsofhorses definitely avoid the black - they pick up so much fluff! They all do really, it’s just more noticeable with the black. You’d be a size small though, like me. I love wearing my orange & dark grey ones. I enjoyed the yellow today too. I have some ink blue coming (they sent me the wrong size so I’m waiting for a replacement pair)

Talisin · 28/06/2020 23:48

@Judystilldreamsofhorses I have the black Alexas, can confirm they are total dustcatchers and would be a disaster in any household that contains furry things. You would end up covered in more fur than the cat.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 28/06/2020 23:57

Thanks @toastfiend @happytobemrsg @talisin I think I will abandon that idea! I swear the air in this house is 50% fur at any given time, she just drifts it around, no matter how often she is brushed.
