Lovely dungarees @toastfiend and @Ellapaella
Also admiring the stripey jumper and the cat @crazyspaniellady

@OublietteBravo best wishes for the exam results!

@Sooverthemill I'm pretty sure I used to have that H&M t shirt in every colour going, they were the best neckline/ fit! I wish you could still get them, their newer ones aren't the same.

Back in my yellow trousers today although I've since added socks and jumper, miserable outside again, hoping it will clear up so I can go out for a run later.

@Sooverthemill yes I have that T-shirt too, mines in olive green. Had it for years and still going strong!

@LaGoulueRevenue I love the French Connection top you were wearing yesterday.

I'm off to the Lakes again today - maybe I'll post a picture of myself in my outdoor kit, because I won't be wearing anything else post-worthy 😂

Sooverthemill · 20/08/2020 15:07

We should lobby them to bring it back!

crazyspaniellady · 20/08/2020 18:34

@Sooverthemill Hobbs fits perfectly into my “smart/casual” style, half of my winter wardrobe is from them. Grin Re: The Cat, she’s always lurking on the bed behind me in my pics, sometimes you can see her, sometimes you can’t. It’s like I get out of bed and she gets in.

@coffeeandcardigans I can’t resist a stripey top. Stripes and shirts are my weakness.

It’s been the last of the lovely days here for a while, I hope everyone’s managed to make the best of the sunshine while it’s here!

@OublietteBravo Enjoy your time off!

DH and I celebrated his birthday early today and went out for lunch as he's away with work for a lot of the next 3 months, so I'm a bit smarter than usual today. Basically the same outfit as I wore for my birthday the other day as I felt really bloated and didn't like anything on me this morning but this dress is v forgiving. Can't say I feel any less bloated after a 7 course tasting menu, but it was delicious.

Dress - Joules
Belt - Lucy & Yak
Boots - Boden
Earrings - unknown brand, from a local (well, local to my parents') boutique

Excuse the mess behind me, it was the end result of my trying on most of my wardrobe and immediately taking it off again!

Tee: can’t remember but worn a lot
Jeans: madewell via eBay

DH sprung it on me last night that we're going back to London today. To the Ritz. For lunch. Eek! Could have done with a bit more of a heads up and hope I'm not wildly underdressed. May have to pick up a pair of black heels when we get there!

@Justonedayatatime11 have a fab time! Great surprise ( though I hate surprises)

Windy but warm here and a day to clear out kitchen stuff. The photo shows how dreadfully untidy I am, not a good week here for tidiness!

@Sickoffamilydrama/ @Namechangetoshowhouse lovely colour jumpsuit

itssquidstella · 22/08/2020 09:59

You look fabulous, @Justonedayatatime11! I love Alice Temperley. Have a wonderful time!

Here's my walking ensemble 😆 Berghaus walking trousers, North Face Mountain Athletics vest and Arcteryx mid-layer. Awful weather up here so I'll be accessorising with a heavy duty Berghaus waterproof jacket and trousers 😂

Sickoffamilydrama · 22/08/2020 11:03

Well spotted @Sooverthemill & love those shorts on you, I failed to name change from another post 🤦‍♀️ just don't want the other following me around forever 🤫

DD said to me this morning why are you wearing a fancy dress & charmingly DH said I look like I should be carrying water in some old film ( I did have my hair in a towel at the time).
So I thought that this looked nice but now I'm wondering if I'm over dressed... although life is to short not to wear nice things.
Dress Primark (only £15)
Trainers converse

Will wear with a denim jacket when I got out later.

That's a lovely Joules dress is it old or new?
Sooverthemill · 22/08/2020 11:56

@Sickoffamilydrama keep the dress on! Life is too short to save things for best ( especially a bargain like that!)
Thank you for the shorts compliment. I really like these, possibly my favourite now. So much more confident this year about baring my legs! Not that anyone sees them....

Sooverthemill · 23/08/2020 09:16

Still trying to eek out summer! Very windy still

Have great days

@Justonedayatatime11 You look lovely, I hope you both had a blast! Also very jealous of your handbag, I had my eye on that one but unfortunately it’s been sold out forever.

@Sooverthemill I envy the fact that you live somewhere that requires shorts on a regular basis.

I’ll chuck a fleece over the top of this when I venture out.

crazyspaniellady yesterday was the first time I've taken it out and I'm worried I don't love it Sad. It's beautiful but it's SO big! I'm undecided about it.

@@Justonedayatatime11 lovely dress, hope you had a great time (I think that's 3 of us that have had tea at the Ritz this month!) and I'd keep that top, it suits you. You have a lovely figure so rock it.

@Sooverthemill loved yesterday's shorts and T-shirt combination

@Sickoffamilydrama   at your family's comments. I think that's a fabulous dress and converse and a denim jacket are perfect for it. It looks expensive! Great find.

@crazyspaniellady that's an excellent t-shirt.

Bit like @itssquidstella I have only practical outfits to share. I did wear actual clothes at some point yesterday but forgot to take a photo. Been riding a lot as I'm taking DD on a riding holiday next week so trying to get some practice in. I had a lesson today. I was terrible! I can do hands or legs right but apparently not together, sigh.

Boots - premier equine
Riding tights - Amazon, so comfortable
T-shirts once normal T-shirt's that have been regulated to riding wear and are faded and misshapen but comfy and I don't care when when they get trashed. (M&S and unknown)

@Justonedayatatime11 it looks absolutely gorgeous, and I don’t mind a big handbag. The only thing putting me off is it being suede, we get a lot of rain in my neck of the woods.

@Shannith thank you, it’s in heavy rotation at the moment, I love it.

Ellapaella · 23/08/2020 19:58

@Justonedayatatime11 how lovely tea at the Ritz again! Your dress looked lovely 😊
Haven't had time to fully catch up with the thread so will do that now.
My outfit is M&S Ivy jeans, jumper from Sezane and shoes from crew clothing.
I've also taken delivery of a lovely new winter coat from Hobbs (20% off). No further purchases for me recently, am waiting with baited breath for the A/W collections as it's my favourite season but I don't actually need anything.
