Great find with the trainers @Ellapaella. What are the soles like? I could do with a pair of tan sandals as mine have butte the dust.

@Sooverthemill nice jeans. You obviously have better behaved dogs than me as mine get trashed in seconds!

I'm in running gear standing in the remains of the inside tent as I've just taken DD and her friend for a morning run. Their idea. I believe they got 45 mins sleep and have gone mad.

Today I have a new dress from Tesco, Gap cardie from a charity shop and new earrings also from Tesco that I love!!

Like the yellow jumper @Ellapaella - I love bright colours.

Newbie here but I've been lurking for a while, thank you for the inspiration! Apologies for the photo I'm rubbish and was trying to avoid the heap of crap down the side of the bed!

Today I'm pushing out of my comfort zone in my first jumpsuit (FatFace sale), bee necklace (Clogau) and flat sandals (old Asda).

I think I'll keep the jumpsuit it ticks the pockets plus machine washable boxes but I have a long body and stubby legs so would appreciate any wisdom?

I’m wearing my dungarees this morning. Definitely my favourite lockdown purchase. Although I’ll be getting changed into painting gear shortly.

Top: Primark
Dungarees: Boden
Trainers: Hobbs

Well and truly left my comfort zone behind for this! Was my John Lewis bargain, Alice Temperley dress down from £149 to £39!
Am in love. Hope everyone's having a lovely weekend

@Ellapaella love the sandals and @Justonedayatatime11 the dress is gorgeous! It's very sunny at Tonbridge Castle. All M&S (again) but I like the square neckline.

@Justonedayatatime11 lovely dress, what a find!
@Lobsterquadrille2 I love a square neck line too.

@Peachypips78 just seen your dress, lovely! Very summery. Colours are just right for you 👌

Full on L&Y today & the colours make me smile

toastfiend · 12/07/2020 12:28

Thanks @Shannith and @Talisin. Smile @Talisin, the jumper/top was from the H&M teens/young women's section. I wandered in their by accident and beat a hasty retreat when I realised just how much I didn't belong there, but I picked up the jumper whilst there and I do actually like it. It's handy to throw on and v comfy.

@Wildernesstips that's so kind, thank you so much! It's only edited highlights I put up here. On the days I don't post I'm generally wearing holey leggings/jodhpurs, one of DH's old t-shirts, and a hoodie with unidentifiable staining on it, accessorised by hay/straw/horse and dog hair. A woman at the yard once held me up as an example of someone her husband would be horrified if she dressed like... 😂

Off for lunch with family today. Hopefully the nice weather holds (and I wouldn't usually say that, winter lover that I am!) as I've gone summery today.

Skirt - Never Fully Dressed
Top - goodness knows, Tesco, maybe? It's so old, and I think it was one a friend gave me about a million years ago, too...

I have no idea what shoes I'll wear with it. Something that enables me to sprint across the garden and prevent DS from falling into one of my parents' many ponds, which he's obsessed by. So trainers, I expect.

toastfiend · 12/07/2020 12:29

Helps if I post the picture... 🤦‍♀️

Today's outfit

Trousers - Oasis
Vest top - Zara
Sandals - Can't remember!

The trousers were originally a jumpsuit, but the top part ended underneath my boobs! So I cut the top off and made them into trousers!
Popping out later so I'll probably team it with a denim jacket.

@Shannith I only wear my white jeans ( I have several pairs) on days when there's no rain. Wet dogs and cats do not mix with white. Today the dogs are accessorising their coats with fox poo. Thank god for washing machines...

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 12/07/2020 14:43

Just dossing about the garden today - it’s not raining!

Cos t-shirt, Topshop culottes, Primark flip flops.

I love the square neckline, lobster

Today I look a quick pic on the way out. The same Next peplum top I wore the other day and Ganni trousers. They feel like I'm wearing nothing (in a good, floaty way, not a nightmare-forgot-my-pants way!)
Such a gorgeous day outside today.

Today we went to a local mini theme park for kids. I wore Saint and Sofia burgundy trousers and a double layer Bam top. I love that Bam tops are usually UV protective.

@andynarwhal love that jumpsuit!

No photo as wearing same shorts as yesterday and a Hush T-shirt.

itssquidstella · 12/07/2020 22:41

@andynarwhal I think that jumpsuit suits you!

@Justonedayatatime11 that's a bargain. Some Alice Temperley stuff is so beautiful but it always feels a bit too spenny; you did well there!

@toastfiend what a gorgeous skirt. I need to start wearing more bright colours, I think.

My Levi's balloon jeans arrived but, as I suspected, they were too small. I'm going to send them back and order a size up, but I think those will be too big on the waist...we'll see!

Ellapaella · 12/07/2020 23:22

@itssquidstella Levi's grow! I'm
Not kidding, they grow by at least one size.

I'm going to join in, I've made a commitment to dressing 'properly' during lockdown - and we've just been sent back into our second lockdown where I live, so now's the opportunity to test my commitment.

Today I'm wearing a grey cashmere midi dress by Joseph, black leggings, Michael Kors black leather trainers and a pair of big stupid yellow tassel earrings to cheer myself up on work Zoom calls.

OublietteBravo · 13/07/2020 08:15

I briefly wore this outfit with a jacket on - mostly to remind myself that I already have a jacket (so that I’m not tempted to buy another one in the sales). I don’t think I’d have worn the outfit with trainers if I’d been in the office - I’d almost certainly have dug out some heels.

Blouse: Uniqlo
Jacket: Hobbs
Trousers: Warehouse
Trainers: Jigsaw

I always think I look a bit like I'm wearing pyjamas when I put this outfit on, but it's comfy and nice and cool on a warm day.

Top - Lucy & Yak
Trousers - Lucy & Yak

@Ellapaella I couldn't get these one over my hips at all, though!

Sooverthemill · 13/07/2020 09:41

The weather is warm but overcast. Annoying

Hope everyone had a good weekend. Ours was quiet as usual but not unpleasant. I'd did chop 5 inches off my pink Levi's which was exciting but it's still a bit warm ( they are standard winter weight 100% cotton)
@Judystilldreamsofhorses - love the Cos tee

Tee: hush linen
Jeans: hush
Sandals: air and grace
