Thanks @coffeeandcardigans

Looking good, @toastfiend

You have all looked fantastic all week. I haven't actually got dressed on a couple of days .... no excuse, just that we don't use video for Skype calls and that's been a lot of each day. However I am now forcing myself out of jeans and I have a week's holiday, a 90th birthday party and a date. And I'm a bit stuck. I have these three but not really convinced about any of them and might rummage some more.

The pink is nice @Lobsterquadrille2
@Justonedayatatime11 wow! Great treat

I’ve got changed three times already as the weather is weird. DD is very unwell at the moment and yesterday I almost called 999 but held off. Anyway I think I will be in her room all day and night again so dressed for comfort now. Originally I was in a mix of vintage stuff which I was quite pleased with but practicality has won out

@Justonedayatatime11 wow what a lovely surprise. Glad you enjoyed it. I could basically live off cream teas. I certainly eat a lot of clotted cream.

@Lobsterquadrille2 you would look good in sack! I like the middle one a lot.

Shannith · 15/08/2020 13:12

@Sooverthemill so sorry about DD. That you still manage to look so stylish is amazing. I hope your day improves.

I love that top and jeans combo. What are the jeans called - really good colour and fit.

OublietteBravo · 15/08/2020 13:31

@Sooverthemill - I’m sorry to hear that your DD is having a difficult time. That must be such a worry.

@Lobsterquadrille2 - I think the middle dress is my favourite (but they all look great on you).

Today we have drizzle. So I’m back in my jeans-and-a-jumper uniform.

Jeans: Boden
Trainers: Clark’s

Lobsterquadrille2 · 15/08/2020 15:42

Thank you all. I think it's so long since I wore a dress, apart from a Jigsaw one recently, that I feel a bit fish out of water. I even dreaded replies in case they were a bit "maybe not ....".

So sorry to hear about your DD, @Sooverthemill. You always nail the look of casual elegant style.

Sickoffamilydrama · 15/08/2020 17:18

Had to nip upstairs to get a jumper honestly the British summer is definitely unpredictable! As I was next to the mirror thought I'd take a snap as love this colour combination.

Sooverthemill · 16/08/2020 08:49

Thanks everyone. Usually I can cope but it’s been building up for a while now. Hopefully we will have a better day today and she will become more stable again.

I’ve totally given up on housework and hoping everyone else has? Just the absolute essentials.
Weird weather again but this is cool. Also looks better in RL ( let’s hope)!

@Sickoffamilydrama that is an excellent colour combination.

@Sooverthemill also a lovely colourful top. I'm going To wear something wear red or pink today if I can dig something out.

OublietteBravo · 16/08/2020 12:03

I just feel wiped out at the moment. I think this long-term WFH (or living at work as my colleague so aptly refers to it) is starting to get to me. Holiday on Friday. Wish I could say I was looking forward to it, but I’m not. Seven days of rain and whining teenagers - ugh. I wish it was possible to go somewhere sunny - we’d booked Tenerife, but obviously that got cancelled.

I'm pleased to be wearing a jumper today. Lovely cooler, drizzly day. Although I doubt I'll be leaving the house so I've paired it with some trousers I just lounge around in. Trou-jamas: Ganni
Top: Fatface

@OublietteBravo I'm not surprised. You've worked solidly throughout the pandemic with kids at home to school, round up. You need a break! Are you staying at home or going away for a few days? I'm taking it easy this week after a hard time recently but next weekend I have to get off my bum and sort out the kitchen so it can be ripped out! I can't find any enthusiasm for cleaning or gardening at the moment either.

@LaGoulueRevenue I know what you mean! Even though summer is my favourite time of year I do like the odd jumper!
@Sickoffamilydrama gorgeous colour combination!

One of my favourite tees today to cheer me up ' a glass of sun'. It's not going to be sunny today but still so muggy. Enjoy your days

Tee: Fwp by Rae
Shorts: MIH via eBay
Sandals: Birkenstock

@OublietteBravo gorgeous trainers

toastfiend · 17/08/2020 09:54

Sorry to hear about your DD @Sooverthemill, it sounds very tough for both of you. I hope yesterday was a better day for you both.

@OublietteBravo sounds like you definitely deserve a break!

We went to DMIL's investiture for her new job yesterday. It was lovely to see DPIL and more of DH's family, although DS started squawking the moment we got into church, so we ended up in the school room at the back playing with puppets for most of the service!

Smarter yesterday.

Dress - Anthropologie, bought last year for DS' christening, so it was nice to get it back out again.
Boots - Boden
Earrings - from my parents for my birthday, from a local boutique, no idea what brand!

Much more casual today. Woken up with a headache and feeling a bit crappy so dressed for maximum comfort as working today but no meetings.

Dungarees - Lucy & Yak
Flower print top - Lucy & Yak

Excuse the slipper socks, it's much cooler again here today!

Oh like the t shirt @Sooverthemill and the trainers @OublietteBravo I know what you mean I've been working flat out had last week off but still actually worked so going to claim a few days back. There's no separation between work & home as well which makes it hard, our next house will have a separate office area!
It's raining here again which means my plants look great.
T shirt Rapuni
Trousers Boden

Love that dress @toastfiend

Shannith · 17/08/2020 10:25

@very nice trainers @obliettebravo and @toastfiend - that dress! So well cut and looks lovely on you.

Very rainy today. Not much planned but I'm going to have to get dressed. Suspect I'll go straight into my non summer wardrobe of jeans and Dubarrys. So boring but where I live pretty much standard.

Maybe I'll go wild and do shorts and Hunters and pretend I'm at a festival.

LaGoulueRevenue · 17/08/2020 10:29

Morning!
I'm wearing a Superdry dress today. I'll probably wear it out with tights (I know, I know I really shouldn't with this dress), boots and a chunky cardi

It's been raining heavily this morning - I got soaked during my run! I'm going back to the Lakes for a long weekend then I'm back to work, so I've sorted my wardrobe and swapped some of my winter and summer stuff around.

Top is Jack Wills, jeans are Hush, and my PUG SOCKS LOOK AT THEM are from Accessorize.

Shannith · 18/08/2020 06:15

@itssquidstella I am looking at the pug socks! Brilliant.

Wore this to walk the dog yesterday because it was both roasting hot then wet. Over the fields so seen only by some pigs and wasps competing for early blackberries thankfully. And DD who said I looked weird. She was wearing bright pink and black leggings, a taco cat T-shirt and bright blue crocs and didn't have a leg to stand on.

Top - Zara charity
Cut down shorts- River Island charity
Boots Dubarrys

@Shannith I quite like the shorts and boots combo - very Daisy Duke!
