I was going to try to retake the photo later in better light but my top now has a muddy toddler handprint on it!

Top: Boden
Shorts: H&M (same as yesterday)
Shoes, if I were wearing them, would be Birkenstock Mayari

An old pic but this what I’m wearing today. It’s really hot here. DH is working in the lounge with all the shutters closed in a bid to keep cool. I’ve taken the opposite approach - I’ve opened all the doors to the garden & I’m sitting in front of a fan!

Top: New Look
Dungarees: Run & Fly

L&Y dropped a new collection yesterday? What does everyone think? All the recent things have not been my cup of tea at all but I really like this. I have some bits arriving tomorrow.

Great trousers @AnUnlikelyWorldofInvisibleShad

Oooh lovely dress @Spasandstripes

Absolutely LOVE the colour of your trousers @OublietteBravo!! What colours do you usually wear with them?

We had a CP trip booked at the beginning of June which obviously got cancelled. Gutted. We go every year with SIL & BIL

Today it has pissed down all day and we had a surprise of the deputy first minister telling us schools are going back full time with zero other info sending everyone into meltdown so I'm wearing black to match my mood and comfy Jean's because it was to wet to leave the house.

Top - shein
Jeans- tesco
Toddler in background - homemade

@happytobemrsg - thanks. I tend to wear them with navy tops (but then I tend to default to navy quite a bit anyway). I’ve also gone with white, black or dark green. I suspect I could be more adventurous - I have a couple of pattered shirts which have yellow in them.

Forecast to be hot today, so time for a summer dress.

Dress: Warehouse
Sandals: Boden

Very hot here already.

Top: Boden
Shorts: Uniqlo (cotton poplin - they rustle)
Belt: from a Yumi dress that shrank in the wash Angry
As ever, if I had shoes on, they'd be Birkenstock Mayaris

Morning all, I really picked the wrong week to be back in work, my normal desk at home is in our conservatory so need to relocate!
@Spasandstripes your dress is lovely
@happytobemrsg I had a look at the new Lucy and Yak drop but the colours aren't really me, I'm naturally fair (more grey than anything now!) and tend towards pink/purple dye so citrus shades don't do me any favours at all 😂. Looking forward to seeing your new stuff!

Dress - FatFace
Sandals - New Look

Oh lovely summery outfits!

I had an amazing lie in until 8.24 today. I cannot remember when I last slept in so late. It was so good. Now of course I want to go back to bed. I also had a croissant for breakfast just to continue the holiday feel. Poor DH has been on the phone since 7.30, the NHS struggling to work out how to work the next phase ( and I know how lucky we are that he's management).

Tee: Boden ( not sure how old, in a drawer with label on but I don't think it was this year) I like this shade with white
Shorts: Boden sale bargain
Sandals: LK Bennett last years sale

Boiling here already! Think I'm going to set a table, chair, and the paddling pool up in the shade and have a garden office today so DD can play in the paddling pool whilst I work. It's too, too hot for me!

Dungaree shorts - Lucy & Yak
Cropped t-shirt - Lucy & Yak

Excuse the wet hair, today is a low-effort day. Actually, I can't remember the last time I blow-dried my hair, so every day is a low-effort day! 😂

@happytobemrsg the new L&Y collection isn't right for me. Thank goodness, as I've spent a fair bit this month on the new jeans and limited editions. I think the items will look great on other people, but the colours aren't for me. I have Gilbert's Syndrome, so yellow/citrussy shades aren't for me as they can make me look very sallow. My new limited editions arrived the other day and I adore them, though. Pastels and neons are definitely more my thing!

spencermoon · 24/06/2020 12:12

Very hot here too! We’re having some new french doors fitted today but once that’s done I think work in the garden and the paddling pool is a great idea @toastfiend

Chino shorts - superdry
T-shirt - from my stitchfix box (on balance I think it’s probably a bit baggier than I’d like)
Birkenstocks

Gah, my phone keeps autocorrecting DS to DD. So frustrating! The paddling pool has proven popular, although I reckon the dogs might try to join in. 😂

I like the top @spencermoon.

Sooverthemill · 24/06/2020 13:30

@toastfiend our first ever dog loved paddling pools! We had to have two! One for him one for the babies. He would dig a hole in them inevitably

AnUnlikelyWorldofInvisibleShad · 24/06/2020 13:54

Primary dress today.

I love those dungaree shorts toastfiend. Ive been looking at the cropped tops on lucy and yak this morning but I dont know if I dare wear one. Its completely out my comfort zone.

Sickoffamilydrama · 24/06/2020 14:32

Boiling here to had an important video call today so went ultra smart although I may change.
Blouse Primark
Skirt Monki

@KitMarlowesCodpieceOfThigh I like your shorts.

KitMarlowesCodpieceOfThigh · 24/06/2020 15:47

@itssquidstella Thanks. They do them in other patterns, too. Generous sizing - I wish I'd gone for a small, really, but they're soooo comfy!

Terralee · 24/06/2020 15:48

Sooo hot. Walked to Tesco & back in the heat stupidly.

Dress by Tu at Sainsbury
Sandals from River Island

happytobemrsg · 24/06/2020 15:54

@toastfiend we are twinning!

@AnUnlikelyWorldofInvisibleShad I just bought some cropped tops from L&Y (my first as an adult!) & I really like them. I’m usually a small but I sized up for the tops so I get a bit more length. I’ve attached a pic (yellow outfit).

Today is DS1’s birthday. We usually do a big family party but to be honest, it’s just been me, DH, DS1 & baby DS2 & it’s been lovely. No hosting, making up food, making sure everyone has a drink 😅

Wearing double ice dye today 😎
Top: M&S (it was white, but I ice dyed it yellow yesterday)
Dungarees: Lucy & Yak

I have just discovered this thread, so interesting, would love to join to get ideas and to make an effort and not being in my pyjamas whilst working from home!

Today I am wearing an H&M top and khaki culottes from Mango (culottes cannot be seen properly as I had to take the picture with my tablet instead of my phone, but they are really comfy and fresh)

@Ellapaella I soooo love your white jumper!

@happytobemrsg are they the new lucy and yak alexa trousers? I was looking at them earlier wondering if I should try them.
