What are you wearing today? Summer 2020 - where did the sunshine go?!

[Ellapaella]

Hello everyone
Last thread here https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/styleandbeauty/3942813-what-are-you-wearing-today-lock-down-wardrobes

@Sickoffamilydrama I like the first ones the best i think. What a fab dress

Brrrr. It’s colder than I expected this morning. I’ve added a jacket to my outfit because it’s cold without it. I’ve dipped into my festive wardrobe a little bit - as it’s my birthday today.

Velvet jacket: Hobbs
Top: Jigsaw (it’s subtly sparkly IRL)
Jeans: Boden
Boots: Doc Martens

Great dress @Sickoffamilydrama. I think I agree with @Ellapaella on the boots.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🥳 @OublietteBravo

Are you doing anything nice?

Your outfit is lovely. I see everyone else is docs and still feel really conscious in mine. Stupidly I bought a new pair and I bought dark brown. See pics. Now I think I should sell them as I tend to wear black tights. I’ve taken them off today and the rights but can I have your thoughts ladies.

I have cherry Chelsea in the loft and black patent Chelsea ones too but I need to sell these as they don’t fit quite right on the tops of my toes.

Happy birthday @OublietteBravo! Have a fab day. Love the DMs and sparkly jumper.
@Softpebbles I like the brown DMs. Don't rush to get rid of. I find black very harsh

So it's raining and miserable but it's not especially cold so for 5 minutes I wore photo 1 and am now in photo 2.

Kitchen is now so slow, it's all the little things that take hours but you don't notice. Getting a bit bored now but the builder/ fitter chap is very nice, yesterday he received and put in the fridge my weekly hummus delivery ( I'm very posh aren't I - local chap makes it and drops it off as by the time we get to stockists it's all gone and DD loves it)

@OublietteBravo Happy Birthday! Hope you have a lovely day.
@Softpebbles love your boots and @Sooverthemill love the striped jumper!

Happy Birthday @OublietteBravo 🥳🥳 I love your jacket. @Softpebbles love the dms. I put mine away for summer but need to get those bad boys back out! Nice striped jumper @Sooverthemill

White shirt - and other stories
Skinny cords - next
Combat boots - Amazon
Jacket - Primark

All from charity shops except boots

Happy birthday 🎂 @OublietteBravo
Yes agree with others keep them @Softpebbles black can be to hard and they look good with your dress maybe you need a chunky pair of black socks so not such a step ( is that the right phrase) between the tights and boots?

What do you all reckon of this combination I like it but I'm a colour fiend 😉 not deliberately but all in Next.

I like them all separately @Sickoffamilydrama but not sure top goes with skirt? Maybe a burnt orange or mustard? Love the skirt though

Happy Birthday @OublietteBravo! Hope you have a lovely day.

Really cold here today, I'm loving it, although DS was up at 5am (really unusual for him, he's generally a good sleeper) so pretty shattered. Feeling the Autumn/Winter vibes today (my favourite time of year!)

Dungarees - Run & Fly
Top - H&M
Boots - unsure of brand, I bought them preloved
Belt - Lucy & Yak

Happy birthday, @OublietteBravo! I hope you've had a lovely day. Your jacket is fab!

@hopewardrobe I like that primark jacket too.

@Sickoffamilydrama I like the colour combination, but the skirt would also work with other colours.

@toastfiend love the dungarees!

I'm sad because it's such dreadful weather. Because I never get to leave the house/garden I really rely on being able to sit out ( like everyone else found in lockdown) so I dread the onset of winter when I am trapped indoors until March! Every day that its warm enough I do go outside though even just to stand with my coffee for 10 minutes. DH had planned to meet up with his sister and BIL today for a beach walk. They live in the midlands and are staying in a friends holiday cottage about an hour away. But the BIL has recently finished chemo and they will not go inside anywhere understandably and they can't come to our house either. So I have absolutely no idea how the can see each other except by shouting at each other from their respective cars! He was very very ill and he's much older than us so I understand the dilemma. Though she and I loathe each other

Luckily the builder got our new garden door in yesterday before the deluge ( we've had thunder and lightening and hail and today we have a gale forecast)
Jumper: hush
Jeans: fatface
Trainers: jigsaw
Tee just seen: trussell trust charity

The transition to autumn was very sudden this year, wasn’t it? It’s suddenly so cold - especially overnight. And yet on Monday evening I was sitting outside having dinner with friends without needing to wear a jumper.

I need to have a proper think about rotating my wardrobe and digging out some of the autumn/winter stuff.

Jumpsuit: Boden
Breton: Boden
High tops: Mint Velvet

I like the DMs @Softpebbles. Mine aren’t totally black either. They have a pattern cut into the leather.

Absolutely love yesterday’s dungarees @toastfiend.

Ah nice @OublietteBravo. I don’t know why I am so conscious. Mine are a 6.5 so not massive but I’ve always been paranoid about having big feet 🙄🙄

At @Sooverthemill can DH sit with DD whilst you go out for a walk every day. I find it so good for mental health. We were recently quarantined for 5 days awaiting a covid test result and I waited until early evening drove to a country lane (5 mins) and walked for 45 mins. I didn’t see a soul but it was just so beneficial. I know we aren’t meant to leave the house but I just used my common sense.

The kitchen is really coming on.

I must get my winter boxes out too and see what I have. My hot flushes are back with a vengeance so jumpers aren’t looking likely again this winter.

I’m on the email list for the grey Lucy and yak trousers as they are out of stock. Think they would be quite nice for working from home and with my new balance trainers.

Thanks @Sooverthemill I liked the clashing colours have also seen that brown with bright blue/torquoise but it's hard to know if it just looks like I am colour blind rather than deliberately clashing 🤣

Trying something a bit different today although already taken off the jacket turned the heating on briefly and now it's boiling.

Thats a lovely bright room, @Sooverthemill, and a cheerful jumper to match!

I'm wearing a black shift dress from & Other Stories with a turtle neck from Oliver Bonas. I’ve currently got my Barbour on indoors because it's so cold!

Liking the outfit @sickoffamilydrama
Like the shify/turtle combo @itssquidstella
Cold today.

@Softpebbles thanks but it doesn't work. we've tried it but I'm totally resigned to staying at home. Very occasionally we can pop out but DD is too unpredictable and DH simply doesn't pay enough attention to her needs. He's deaf which doesn't help but he has ADHD and he gets too distracted. I've got home once to find her fallen on the floor and he hadn't even noticed or checked or anything. Too stressful all round! The sitter we have is a first responder and fab but rarely available. The Surgery have tried to find a sitter but DDs needs are so complex ( can't be touched, no perfumes, no smoking, no light, no noise etc etc that they can't ever find a person)

I will go out when she's well! It's really okay I'm so used to it after 7 years I don't mind I just wish the weather was better

Ooh it's so cold 🥶 On the plus side back to cosy winter knits - my favourite time of year for outfits ❄️

Love the jumper, extra appreciation for the lab

@Ellapaella are they your new hush jeans? Nice!

So I can’t wash my summer stuff because o the rain and the kitchen etc so I’m
A bit at a loss
I’m not sure about this jumper. Love the colour but it creases easily ( was hanging) and this is XS!
Jumper:hush
Tee: H&M
Jeans: mother
Trainers: jigsaw bought last winter not yet worn

Like your jeans too @Ellapaella I like your jumper @Sooverthemill but if it creases loads then it ends up to difficult to wear.

DS wanted to join in showing you all what he's wearing as he's particularly pleased with his new triceratops top from Sainsbury's.

Dress Gooseisland
Thermal top M&S
Boots Ecco

Will take a pic of my new jacket later as works really well with it.

Fabulous triceratops top. I can see why he’s proud of it!

Jacket: Hobbs (finally getting some wear out of it)
Jumper: Oasis (close up so you can see that it’s actually sparkly)
Jeans: Hush
Boots: Doc Martens

Thanks @OublietteBravonwe should all have a triceratops t shirt in our wardrobes it's the new white shirt 😉

Saw this jacket on Facebook market place the other day and couldn't resist the woman hadn't really worn it by the looks of it was only £10 love a bargain!

Gah wrote a post and lost it.

@Sickoffamilydrama bargain! Love the dinosaur top. My Christmas jumper has a dinosaur on 😂

@OublietteBravo you love a bit of sparkle. Nice combination

@Sooverthemill I’m going against the grain and say I think that jumper swaps you. Beautiful colour but you have a lovely figure. That or it needs skinny jeans.

I have had a productive day. Sold a coat on eBay. Sorted my boots and winter bits.

Top - Oliver Bonas
Jeans - Hush
Trainers - gazelles.

Must try harder. I am so stuck in a rut.

@Softpebbles I think you are right, I'm going to wash it and sell it! Hush stuff usually sells well
