@Nixee2231 I know what you mean about the cold weather outfits. It's the same when you look at the collections in the shops who actually wants a 3/4 or short sleeved thick jumper in the depths of winter, I want the whole of my arms covered!

Don't even get me started on the open toe sandals in the snow although my sis in law did surprise me once by coming out for a meal in the snow with high heeled sandals on, she's obviously harder than me!

Sickoffamilydrama · 01/07/2020 22:03

Thanks @TheOnlyMrsW I probably need to have more confidence or just not care.

Terralee · 01/07/2020 22:06

@TheOnlyMrsW the sandals do feel comfortable; I have a similar flat pair that I bought last year in River Island & I can walk for a long way in them, so I'm hoping these will be the same.

@Sooverthemill had to check with the instructor whether the boards were anchored down (they are) as had visions of floating off mid down dog.

I’ve paddled before but never hugely successfully. Either way it should be fun.

OublietteBravo · 02/07/2020 07:56

@Nixee2231 - welcome. I know what you mean about having more autumn/winter clothes. I definitely find summer the trickiest season to dress for.

I seem to be doing a week of outfits based on these jeans (I don’t think I really planned to - it just seems practical to keep wearing them until they need washing). You can’t see it in most of the photos, but they have stripes down the sides.

Shirt: Hush
Belt: Mint Velvet
Jeans: Boden
Trainers: Mint Velvet

(Yes - I have a wide selection of horrible carpets. They came with the house. One day I’ll sort it out).

Nice dress, @Wildernesstips :)

I've only worn this Topshop dress once since I bought it so I thought it deserved another outing today.

@ememem84 ooh report back, it sounds fun! We have yoga on the beach in the summer but it's at 8 am and on the beach across the estuary so would take too long to get there for me to be out of the house. If it was on our beach I could probably manage an hour out of the house ( post shielding obviously). I wish I could get to a class, but it's too hard with DD.

@oubliette I'm doing the same!

Sold a hush dress in under an hour yesterday on FB so going to go through my stuff later if DD not to bad today. I need kitchen tap money!
Top : last years white stuff sale, it's linen jersey back and linen fabric front and it's navy
Trousers: fat face old
Sandals: Birkenstock navy big buckle

@Nixee2231 I'm another with a mainly autumn/winter wardrobe - one of the perks of the drizzly NW Grin. My summer things are mainly "holiday" so not always suitable for the times when it does warm up.

Trousers - H&M
Top -FatFace
Trainers - Ruby and Daisy

We to had awful stained (but clean) carpets @OublietteBravo we had them done last year it's so lovely to actually not be embarrassed by them anymore.

I'll have to tell my Dsis about Yoga paddle boarding. I am actually on the look out for a board myself my Dsis has one and I love it. I have been trying to find a decent bikini as well I need a bit of tummy coverage but haven't seen anything I like. Also been looking for some board shorts the ones I have aren't stretchy so not really that comfortable for being active in.

T-shirt Rapuni
Skirt pretty little things

Today I've got my new yellow alexas out for a second wear teamed with a long sleeve sainsburys top. Also I got these Run & Fly dungarees delivered this morning. What do you all think to them?

Ah my favourite.. I want that boiler suit so bad!
PurpleDaisies · 02/07/2020 10:09

I am ordering space dungarees right now. Love those.

AnUnlikelyWorldofInvisibleShad · 02/07/2020 10:17

@PurpleDaisies

I am ordering space dungarees right now. Love those.
I found them when I was looking to see if they had leopard print dungarees on there that a couple of people on here have worn. Sadly no leopard print but the space ones are gorgeous.

Thanks for the positive comments on my dungarees everyone. They will definitely be a keeper.

Terralee · 02/07/2020 10:58

@itsquidstella like your Topshop dress, & @toastfiend like your boilersuit!

Terralee · 02/07/2020 10:59

I'm just wearing jeans and T-shirt with Havianas again

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 02/07/2020 14:19

Feeling really overwhelmed and sad today for no reason, so put on a fancy blouse to cheer myself up. Zara blouse, Boden dungarees, Stan Smiths.

@Judystilldreamsofhorses I'm so sorry to hear that. It's a lovely blouse. Xxx

Shannith · 02/07/2020 18:32

@Judystilldreamsofhorses sorry you are feeling down. I hope you have been cheered by what is indeed a very fancy and very lovely blouse.

Wildernesstips · 02/07/2020 18:37

Hope you feel better soon @Judystilldreamsofhorses. Love the colour of your boiler suit @toastfiend.

Handmade dress today with cut out back (from the front it’s suitable for WFH).

Hi all, I've been AWOL sorry, but you are still looking fab as ever.

I was in the office today and I wore a Tesco dress. Peek of grey vest so I don't look ALL boob and a silver grey belt I've had in ages and the trusty superstars
