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

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

[PalacePaper]

Good point on the thermals @Sickoffamilydrama - I had to go into the office one day last week and it was very chilly with all the windows open. Thanks for the Uniqlo sizing tips, I'm 5'2" so the leggings could be a good fit for me 

I really like those trainers @Ellapaella, I've got some black new balance which I bought for the same reason - they go with everything - and I wear them a lot. Good reminder on the Aldi special buys @Shannith. I got some really warm wool socks there last year but they shrank in the tumble drier I'll have to keep a look out for more - I also like their thermal tights, and skins for DS (he likes blue to match his football kit and not many places do blue but aldi came up trumps a couple of years ago - they were finally retired in the spring when the holes on the knees got so big the bottom half of the skins came off altogether!!)

[Ellapaella]

@Softpebbles they stretch! Mine have stretched loads since I've had them so I would be reluctant to size up

[OublietteBravo]

@Softpebbles - I normally take a 5 (sometimes a 5.5). My docs are size 5 and I don’t find them too small.

Definitely wearing my autumn/winter wardrobe now. I miss my heated office - even if it did get a bit warm on sunny afternoons

Jumper: Boden
Skirt: Baukjen
Fleece-lined tights: Primark
Trainers: Hobbs

[Sickoffamilydrama]

eBay bargain jumper today did a bit of jumper shopping on there as have hardly anything.

Jumper Chelsea & Theodore
T shirt Rapuni
Skirt Sainsbury's
Boots Ecco

[Shannith]

@Ellapaella you want these for trainer socks, anything by this brand.

Pricey but my god they are warm and comfy. I wear them with everything even though I brought them to run in. Super durable - stand up to a lot of wear/washing. I tend to wear them as slippers quite a lot too.

Hi everyone sorry I’ve been awol I’ve been ill. Still 100% but getting there. DD struggling too but As I’ve not been able to get out of bed, DH has been trying his best to help her. Her comment ‘dads very nice but really competent’ says it all.

[PalacePaper]

Sorry to hear you're feeling unwell @Sooverthemill, glad you're on the mend.

Very chilly working at home today so I've put on a cashmere jumper from Uniqlo and jeans and warm socks from M&S. Plus black DMs when I took DS to school.

I'm very tempted by the idea of @Ellapaella's fingerless gloves, my hands get so cold typing and it looks like I'll be working mainly from home for the foreseeable...

[Purplecatshopaholic]

Chilly here so heating on - don’t care, it’s October! And in Scotland.. Still trying hard to stay motivated, and away from the leggings, lol. High waisted combats from All Saints, with Vivienne Westwood high tops and a Mandalorian tee shirt! Gotta love Baby Yoda

[Shannith]

@Sooverthemill hope you feel better soon. Your daughter sounds awesome.

@Purplecatshopaholic love that outfit, especially the trousers.

@PalacePaper and @Sickoffamilydrama lovely cosy jumpers.

Someone on my village Facebook page was offering a bag of clothes in my size for free, and to drop them round so...

Mostly river island and Zara and some really nice bits. I've been trying on instead of working!

Super cheerful jumpsuit - river island
Belt - vintage, mine

Dress - river island (or is it a top with long bits?) it was indecent on its own but handily she included a slip that would not go over my boobs but sits on my hips and is thus the perfect length to wear it as a skirt
Boots - vintage 70s from charity

Jacket - Zara
Too - river island
Jeans - Topshop? Charity
Boots - Jones

Nice surprise! There were loads of other bits as well. I actual had a Hush delivery this morning and I quite like the harems but £55? Ummm. Underwhelmed by the joggers they sent. I'm mean they are nice, but expensive for what they are. I have been ruined by charity shops and nice people in the village!

[Shannith]

Checked jacket - H&M
Scarf - river island (it has a massive tiger in it!)

Snakeskin shirt - New Look

If I ever actually left the house, I'd be sorted!

[Shannith]

Hush harems with free river island jumper.

[Terralee]

I've decided to try a new jeans shape & have a slightly different look.

So I'm wearing rolled up high waisted Slim jeans with my T-shirt tucked in to show my belt.

Jeans from Next
T-shirt from Gap
Belt from Dorothy Perkins
Cardi from F&F at Tesco

Then I will wear my usual Adidas Superstars from Office with them & gold jewellery.

[Terralee]

@Shannith those are nice clothes, they look good on you especially as you seem quite tall & slim too.

[PalacePaper]

@Shannith what a lovely bag of clothes! I love my hush harems and wear them a lot, but I agree they are expensive. Worth it for me on cost per wear though. I've got my eye on some grey leopard print joggers.

@Terralee that Jean shape looks great on you

[PalacePaper]

Oops no idea why Jean has a capital - clearly I was referring to the shape of your jeans and not a person 😂

[Softpebbles]

Morning.

@Terralee I like those jeans. Nice colour and cut on you.

Hope you are feeling better @Sooverthemill

I am so glad it is Friday.

Jeans - Levi
T-shirt - Lucy and yak - I blame at @toastfiend, however it’s a lovely material and wasn’t a bad price. Just something fun.

[Purplecatshopaholic]

Loving that tee shirt @Softpebbles! Tee from the Pinko sale for me today with an ancient Zara maxi skirt I found while having a dig around the back of the wardrobe. Not photobombed by the dog today, lol

[Sickoffamilydrama]

Grr lost my whole post then or you are about to get two!

Nice haul @Shannith get well soon @Sooverthemill

Another eBay bargain jumper DH thinks I should totally tuck it in.
Jumper Anna Taylor
Thermal M&S
Jeans Boden
Boots Heavenly feet

[OublietteBravo]

Get well soon @Sooverthemill
I hope you’re OK @toastfiend

I thought I’d posted this morning, but apparently not.

Jumper: Jigsaw
Jeans: Boden
Boots: Doc Martens

[PalacePaper]

Day off today 
Dress - Dorothy Perkins
Roll neck - monsoon
Thermal tights - aldi
Plus black DMs

I really like your jeans @Sickoffamilydrama

[Terralee]

Thanks @PalacePaper & @Softpebbles

Quick trip to Primark today for some leggings, ended up buying some boots as well..

Jeans from F&F at Tesco
Cardi from F&F at Tesco
T-shirt from New Look
Adidas Superstars from Office
Liberty print face mask from Honeybee Creations on Etsy

[Terralee]

I'd have worn the Next jeans again but had to wash them after an accident with ketchup, nevermind. They have washed well btw.

These are the Primark boots.
I wanted something indestructible for wet cold muddy weather plus I like the gold detail as I wear gold jewellery fairly often... can't go wrong for £16!

[Shannith]

@Softpebbles that T-shirt is ace!

@Terralee nice t-shirt as well and great bargain boots.

[PalacePaper]

We decided to go out for pizza for tea so I changed into a skirt from finery and Uniqlo jumper. First time I've worn the skirt, I'm pleased with it

[Lobsterquadrille2]

Morning all! I haven't been on here for ages and am simultaneously impressed and depressed at all your gorgeous outfits ..... my life has been work, work and more work and this week I actually lived in a (gulp) dressing gown at my laptop. Quarter end though .....

However today I need to buy some jeans. I have lived in the cropped sort all summer, which suit me as I have quite short, chunky legs. I have taken brutal photographs of my only wearable pair that are not black and I look huge.

If anyone can advise I will be so grateful. Money not a massive object. I don't like baggy or bootcut or high waisted. I just want to look a bit better in the damned things 😬
