Keep? Or send back because it's too short and I'm too old?

This thread fell off my threads I’m on. I’ve missed so many beautiful outfits and a birthday. Sad times.

Today a new jumpsuit arrived from Fat Face. I think it’s a keeper (it has pockets) but I’m not certain on the length. It’s very comfortable and cool so it might stay on that basis alone...

Oh i like it, @Spasandstripes!

toastfiend · 10/08/2020 19:35

I like the jumpsuit @Spasandstripes, and you look fab in the dress @Justonedayatatime11, you should definitely keep it. Smile

Ah, thank you so much @Miseryisabutterfly, that's so kind of you. Smile I think it's just the angle of the photo, I've put on about half a stone during lockdown and now my cake and chocolate habit is proving hard to shift, meaning the extra lbs are even harder to shift! 😂 It's too hot to care, though, so my Mum tum is out and proud. All hail the high-waisted trouser and the multiple sins they conceal! 🙌🙌

Not been on here for a few days. Had a casual couple of days as we took DS to the beach yesterday.

Today's outfit -

Boilersuit - Lucy & Yak
Sandals - Dr Martens

@Judystilldreamsofhorses I loved that striped Monki blouse you posted a while back that I bought it in both colours! Thanks for the inspo :)

Definitely a day for linen

@Justonedayatatime11 never too old- wear whatever the fuck you like!!!!
Love the Fatface jumpsuit @Spasandstripes - I think the length is really nice.
Like the boiler suit too- no evidence of mum tum as far as I can see.
I like those sandals @Sooverthemill - are they comfy?
Today I am in head-to-toe Tesco- we have come to Longleat for the day and it is scorchio!!

@Justonedayatatime11 sorry I missed your dress! I love it, a keep vote from me
@Spasandstripes I also like the jumpsuit.

Sooverthemill · 11/08/2020 10:11

@Peachypips78 yes they are, it's like not wearing anything on your feet. I've not 'walked' in them but the pair they replaced were fine for normal walking ( not hiking obviously) around Greece and France all day

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 11/08/2020 10:34

I've fallen off this thread - we are back in lockdown, and I am SO FED UP! I'm still wearing nice clothes, I just don't get round to photographing them.

Everyone looks fabulous in their heatwave outfits (no heatwave here, obvs!).

@yakj67 it is a great shirt - glad to be of service!

Shannith · 11/08/2020 11:00

Looking very summery everyone.

@itssquidstella love those shorts.

@Ellapaella looking glam, even in civvies!

@Justonedayatatime11 definitely keep the dress.

@Spasandstripes jumpsuit is good - rolled up looks great (though it's so hot here I'd probably do without the legs altogether.

Still hot here. Remind me why today is the day I decided to defrost my freezer using my hairdryer? (Tip on another thread, but I really hadn't thought that one through).

Dressed (loosely) appropriately

Top - Topshop?
Shorts - emergency holiday purchase years ago.

@Shannith back at you - those shorts are really nice! Love an emergency holiday purchase, although I've made some bad choices in my time 😁

@toastfiend lovely jumpsuit

Ellapaella · 11/08/2020 11:50

Ah @Judystilldreamsofhorses that's so shit you are back in lockdown, I am so sick of coronavirus now. I hope we get a grip on it soon as it's just been a rotten year.
Very unexciting outfit from me today, just Boden Richmond shorts and a t shirt from French Connection. I have a jumpsuit I haven't worn yet so may put that on later but haven't got any plans to go anywhere. I have a zillion jobs to do in the house as well as a lot of dead heading to do in the garden.
I'm on the field with my Ddog but it won't be a long trip is it's too hot for her. Just stretching our legs.
@itssquidstella love your shorts 😍

@toastfiend you look amazing in that boiler suit - perfect!

Still boiling here. This dress was from a collaboration Liberty did with Uniqlo a few years ago. It's nice and cool!

Peachypips78 · 11/08/2020 16:11

@Judystilldreamsofhorses where are you? I'm so so sorry you are back in lockdown.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 11/08/2020 16:46

I'm in Aberdeen - there's an outbreak linked to a cluster in bars. SO ANNOYING!

Shannith · 11/08/2020 17:06

@Judystilldreamsofhorses that's rubbish. Sorry to hear that.

I had an ex who was from Aberdeen. I stayed at his parents a few times. In the summer. It was not that warm (understatement). Beautiful place though.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 11/08/2020 20:05

@Shannith while the rest of the country swelters, it is 16 degrees and thick fog here. My current (I have been properly dressed but changed) “outfit” is a thermal vest, jumper, velour joggers, and Uggs!

Peachypips78 · 11/08/2020 20:51

Whereas we are in a hotel room which has no air conditioning and is currently 32 degrees. It's our first two nights away since March and we are all wishing we had stayed at home as the boys were up crying and moaning all night last night. I've just made them have a freezing cold shower in prep for tonight's sleep!

I'm normally quite a sunny type but I want to go home and am actually jealous of the 15 degrees!

Sickoffamilydrama · 11/08/2020 21:00

Just catching up after a few very busy days, a very late happy Birthday @toastfiend I'm 41 @Justonedayatatime11 & I certainly don't think I'm to old to wear short dresses as you will see 😉

Got a few picture for you all that I took but didn't get chance to post.

Red is today's outfit from Next
Green was yesterday's from Boden

@Sickoffamilydrama a great set off outfits, especially the dresses and that M&S dress is amazing. It's perfect on you.

OublietteBravo · 12/08/2020 08:03

I love your red dress @Sickoffamilydrama. In fact all 3 of your dresses look great.

Sorry to hear you’re back in lockdown @Judystilldreamsofhorses.

It’s already hot, and it’s still overcast. There is apparently a 40% chance of thunderstorms this afternoon - fingers crossed!
