I've just been to the gym for the first time since lockdown & walked home in a thunderstorm- it's warm outside plus I was warm from my workout so put my shorts on.

Shorts from Dorothy Perkins
Top from F&F at Tesco

Those are gorgeous colours. Really suit you @Sooverthemill

I’m going out for lunch and struggling with the sunny, windy weather.

Missing the gym here @Terralee. Very envious that you’ve been!

Spasandstripes · 29/08/2020 10:43

Forgot the picture...

Lucy and Yak (very) mini pini
Warehouse top
Sainsbury’s leggings
The best converse trainers that have ever been made.

I like your dress @Spasandstripes.

The gym was good with cleaning & social distancing, glad to be back there.

It's really chilly in my house this morning, won't be putting my shorts on today!

nancybotwinbloom · 29/08/2020 10:49

This but maybe with black tights depending on the weather
This afternoon.

Very windy and pouring rain here. Jeans Oasis, Jumper Tu (I love the colour) Slippers Toms (think it was Ellapaella who introduced me to these?) and new hair for the first time since January!

@Justonedayatatime11 yes I have Toms slippers - just the cosiest slippers ever, I love yours. It's the perfect weather for them today. I'm back in my wool socks today - not very stylish but nice and warm! I am actually lying on the sofa with a book and have the heating on ❄️
I am envious of your trip to the hairdressers- I can't get in to see mine for another 3 weeks.

You look great, @Sooverthemill. I especially like your T-shirt.

I also like your cosy socks, @Ellapaella - I'm a sucker for woolly socks! The ones I'm wearing are from Anthropologie. Jeans are Hush, obviously, and the jumper is from a random shop in Crouch End.

Sooverthemill · 30/08/2020 09:18

Thank you @itssquidstella, I like your top. Used to love mooching around crouch end when I lived in London.

Welcome @Rollerbird love the jumper. Can I ask about your runner? We are about to have our kitchen done and having limestone with underfloor heating and am wondering about a rug. How practical is it? ( we have 2 dogs and the messiest DH ever)

@Sickoffamilydrama lovely colour top

We have the heating on too @Ellapaella! DD was freezing to the touch last evening, I gave her hot packs and put on heating and was so happy this morning to realise I hadn't turned it off so it had come on at 6! Yay. I don't think we've ever had it on before October

I'm in 2 new purchases shame to say but hey ho
Shirt: hush with @Ellapaella discount
Jeans: mother via debop ( I had a very similar pair I literally wore through the bum a few years ago so very happy to find these)
Cardigan : Boden old
Sandals: Birkenstock ( I cant get my head around going back into shoes)

Today it's washing DDs hair day so that will be super stressful, and exhausting and I'm dreading it. But we have zoom call with GP on Tuesday and I spoke to nurse yesterday ( she rang me) and we have a plan for referrals for zoom/ remote consultations with specialists for 2 conditions we have been told she has but no formal diagnosis as DD can't travel to London- a side benefit of COVID for us. If we can get an accurate picture of the conditions she has we be better able to support/ treat her. On Thursday she's been in bed for 7 years unable to do anything. Would be fab to be able to get a treatment that may ease her life a bit

I also have to finish packing up the kitchen which is stressing out the animals, Those who remember moving house 4 years ago!

itssquidstella · 30/08/2020 09:18

@Rollerbird you have a very nice kitchen!

Rollerbird · 30/08/2020 09:28

@sooverthemill the runner is great its from Nain Trading . We have one dog and it's a great colour to hide dirt but we do have a carpet shampooer vacuum too.

Ellapaella · 30/08/2020 10:04

@Sooverthemill so glad to hear things are may be a trying to move forwards with getting some help from specialist with DD, that's good news.

Today I'm am boring, it's still cold (12°) and I have to stand on the beach for two hours while ds has a surf lesson.

Stripey linen jumper from Toast, Gap jeans and Veja trainers. Going to give my new Hobbs puffs coat and outing as well.

Been a manic week here so not been on here much and forgot to post my outfits! Everyone is looking fab, as usual. Nothing very exciting from me for the past few days.

Yesterday's outfit:

Jumper - French Connection
Jeggings - Tesco

Today's:

Top - Duns of Sweden
Otter dungarees - Lucy & Yak

@Shannith - sorry, v late to answer your question, but yes, those trousers are quite unstructured and soft. They're the Lucy & Yak Alexas. They're quite stiff and poofy when they first arrive, but mine really softened up after a few washes and now I find them so comfy. Smile

Jolie Moi dresses from John Lewis... a new discovery for me and I love them! Have already bought 4 in different styles and patterns (I'm a big bottom/thighed size 16-18 and find they cinch in exactly the right places).
