Oops, I've not updated in a few days. Everyone looks great, as ever. @Ellapaella I love your Toast outfit, as a brand it's not really been on my radar before (I'm just a carb fiend, hence the username, but I'm now checking it out regularly and lusting after so many things!)

I've basically got a 3-in-1 now.

Saturday :

Sunflower dungarees - Lucy & Yak
Top - Juno Jack's. One day I'll buy a top that isn't a nursing top, I just can't find any other striped tops that suit me the way these do. The non-nursing breton stripes all seem to flare out at the bottom, which isn't a look I love on me.

Yesterday:

Dungarees - Lucy & Yak
Top - unsure, it's a Harry Potter Deathly Hallows one so maybe Primark? A lady I swapped dungarees with included it as part of the swap as mine were higher RRP than hers and I like Harry Potter! 😂
Boots - DMs

Today, floaty dress as I've out a few lbs on recently and I'm feeling it a bit today. Need to sort it out.

Dress - Joules
Trainers - Vanessa Wu

toastfiend I absolutely love your style!

tempnamechange98765 · 21/09/2020 12:28

softpebes they dress is so gorgeous I've popped on to New Look and bought it! It's reduced to £13! Didn't have my size (10) so I've ordered an 8 and a 12 to see how it fits.

Softpebbles · 21/09/2020 17:10

It is quite roomy, I am a bit booby so couldn't size down :)

So I needed a bag strap as I have a lovely Burgundy suede bag from White stuff that I never use as the cross the body strap is too thin and I like a thicker strap, I love the bag itself though. I ordered the zebra strap from Oliver Bonas in the hope that the contrast would look ok with the bag. I may have accidently ordered two tops too, one navy Bretton t-shirt with a coral collar and a white with thin black stripes jumper.

Boring day today, black skinnies with a joules thin knit jumper.

Sickoffamilydrama · 21/09/2020 21:30

Of to visit a customer early tomorrow it's going to be hot so can I wear a dress & brogues?

Toasti Love your outfits today.
So warm here today ☀️ I work from home on Monday's but did manage to get out at lunchtime for a walk on the beach with Ddog. Wore my new Hush skirt.
Excited to be finally getting to see my hairdresser tomorrow for the first time since March!

That pink dress is great, @Softpebbles. It looks a bit like the Hush Kensington dress.

I really liked your outfit yesterday, @Sooverthemill. Did you end up putting shorts on?

@Sickoffamilydrama I wear brogues with dresses all the time for work! I quite like the 1950s lesbian school teacher vibe.

@toastfiend another beautiful dress!

@Ellapaella love that Hush skirt. What are you getting done to your hair?

itssquidstella · 22/09/2020 07:12

I'm in a full & Other Stories ensemble today :D

Ellapaella · 22/09/2020 07:51

@itssquidstella just a bit of a trim and tidy up and balyage, haven't had any colour in since early March. I do go quite blonde in the summer months anyway but I'm in definite need of a top up!

OublietteBravo · 22/09/2020 08:38

@Ellapaella - I love the skirt. (I had my hair cut yesterday - for the first time since last December. It feels so much better).

It looks like today might be the final warm day. I went for dinner out yesterday and it was such a beautiful evening. Warm enough to sit outside without a jumper even at 21:00. So unusual for September in the U.K.

Jumper: Jigsaw (I expect I’ll only be wearing this briefly until my west-facing office warms up)
Culottes: Phase Eight
Trainers: Jigsaw

Ah, thank you @tempnamechange98765. Smile I mostly throw on whatever I can lay a hand on first, so that's really kind!

Thanks @Ellapaella, @itssquidstella, and @sickoffamilydrama, my best friend bought it for me for my birthday. I never would have picked it up if I'd been shopping for myself, but I've got SO much wear out of it and absolutely love it. Funny how when you've been friends with someone for a long time they can know what will suit you better than you know yourself!

I'm wearing a top I bought 7 years ago today and I'm not sure if perhaps it's time to retire it now. It was easy to chuck on this morning, though, although I then had to go back and put a strappy top under it as it's more see-through than I remember!

Top - River Island
Necklace - Mango or Zara, can't remember
Jeans - Topshop
Trainers - Vanessa Wu

Not worn any exciting stuff except workout gear lately.
Nothing spesh today either!

@itssquidstella thank you! Yes ended up in the shorts I’m wearing today
@Sickoffamilydrama loved the outfit yesterday
@Ellapaella good luck at hairdresser, can’t quite be bothered with mine yet but should book before December when they go crazy. And that skirt is great

@toastfiend agree with everyone else, fab outfits
We have a day off from kitchen as builder is having day out with his wife to celebrate their wedding anniversary. And we have 26 degrees forecast so I’m wearing a favourite combo to end the summer on. I plan to sit in garden as much as I can. DD still having dreadful nights sadly but that means she may doze during the day

Top : hush
Shorts: MIH
Sandals:air and grace

Lovely outfits as always.

I’m just enjoying 15 mins in the sunshine. One benefit of working from home!

Dress stitch fix. Hoping to wear in winter with black tights. X

Nice dress @softpebbles

itssquidstella · 23/09/2020 07:19

That's a funky T-shirt, @Rollerbird (can we still say funky?).

I'm wearing black Hush trousers and a green M&S turtle neck. It's meant to be cooler today.

Jumper: Boden
Joggers: Hush
Trainers: Mint Velvet

Grey-brown Hush harems, the world's comfiest trews.

White 'sports luxe' kind of sweatshirt from I think Firetrap, years old.

Grey Gap vest top underneath.

May have to change or add a layer though as it's chilly!

itssquidstella · 23/09/2020 11:45

Hush joggers are so nice, though, @OublietteBravo

Sickoffamilydrama · 23/09/2020 14:54

I had a boot dilemma this morning, I would have liked to wear some over the knee fake suede ones my DSis put our but they are a little to small.
I've gone for Brown ankle boots but not sure they work & they need a polish.

Dress Boden
Ankle boots Clarks

Sickoffamilydrama · 23/09/2020 14:55

And the other options the middle grey ones are the too small over the knee boots.

@Sickoffamilydrama I like the first pair of boots in the second set of pics best. Lovely dress.
