Love those trousers @Sickoffamilydrama - are you tall? I love wide leg trousers but I'm only 5'2".

@toastfiend I love the pattern on your dungas, and the docs
@Judystilldreamsofhorses I'm a sucker for blouses like that

I'm not dressed today, I'll spare your eyes from the sight of my pyjamas! The weather here is so strange today. It's been sunshiney and warm, rainy, grey and cold, grey and muggy and now bright again.

Thank you @LaGoulueRevenue - it’s actually a bit of a bugger to get something on over it.

@Nix32 I’m in Scotland. Salons opened here yesterday. Next stop, hairdresser on Saturday!

@LaGoulueRevenue I'll join you in not inflicting my "outfit" today on the inspiring the stylish people on the thread. I'm channeling 1990s PE teacher again. Not intentionally but there's no getting away from it.

@Judystilldreamsofhorses love those jeans - great colour and shape

@Justonedayatatime11 huge fan of your belt.

@toastfiend those DMs are amazing. I want them!

I have fairly randomly just ordered a load of stuff in the Jigsaw sale. I have no occasion to wear any of them but I feel that I ought to have some clothes that did not come from a charity shop or can be worn to ride in. Smile

You lot are a bad influence!

@Peachypips78 I'm 5ft 8" and have 31" inside leg they are just about the right length for me, in fact some would argue they are a little to long. They are the regular leg length hope that helps.

I’m currently still in my gym kit after online bootcamp. My shorts are pretty indecent (they don’t get worn outside the house) so no picture. Grey and miserable here so not sure what to put on. Probably similar to your outfit @Shannith!

Lucy and Yak fans, I’m going to order a mini pini but not sure about to size. I’d normally buy an 8 most places but I’ve read they’re small. Should I go small or medium?

Nice joggers @Shannith! A recent buy? I don't really have any joggers I've often wondered about getting a pair.

Where oh where has the weather gone? It's miserable here though muggy
Tee: FWP by Rae ( old)
Trousers: old hush Monaco
Sandals: TopShop sale
Cardigan for if it gets colder - I knitted it, it's wool and the gang very oversized!

The outdoor bouldering walls are our local climbing centre have reopened, so we've booked a slot. I'm wearing Sweaty Betty leggings and a vest top I got free with a pool crawl in Nicaragua 😂

@Spasandstripes I'd go for a small. I have a medium mini pini and have plenty of room in it and I'm a 10-12, though I'd agree that they come up smaller in sizing than the dungarees usually do. Allow for a bit of shrinkage if you're going for a cord one. I think they're starting to pre-wash their new stock, but older stuff on website atm hasn't been pre-washed so you always get a degree of shrinkage to begin with. I tend to wash mine on a cold wash, though, and never tumble dry any L&Y items, and have never had problems with major shrinkage or anything v noticeable, to be fair.

Thank you @itssquidstella - today it is not raining so I figured I should celebrate! I honestly can’t remember July ever being this cold and wet before. 🙄

Thanks @toastfiend. I’ve ordered the small flame red mini pini. Will post when it arrives!

Jigsaw sale stuff has arrived. I used to buy most of my work clothes from there but have not bought anything new for a loooonnnnnggggggg time. I seem to have gone for a lot of silk which I didn't realise when ordering.

All feel lovely. I'll maybe keep 50% but would be interested to know if you lot agree on the 50% to keep!

  1. Trousers are cord cropped. A touch too big. Not sure if I would size up in the top. I am certainly conscious that I have ahem boobs.


Shoes are white trainers from whistles via charity) other pair are very very old Topshop

Belt - old Banana Republic

  1. As before. Green top.


  1. Trousers are black high waisted straight jeans

Belt - vintage
High tops - Hush

4.

I love the trousers in pic 1 they look really good on you. Think jeans in pic 2 could do with rollin up. The green top
Looks lovely and the colour really suits you. I'm not a fan of the blue one on you. Not sure it's the right fit or colour and is a bit shiny

Not sure about fancy shirt but I'm not a fan of prints anyway. Absolutely love the grey dress. Think it looks lovely on you. Also like the blue top with jeans
So if me I would return first blue shiny top and fancy shirt

I like everything, @Shannith, especially the grey dress.

Probably like the shiny blue top least.

Spasandstripes · 25/07/2020 08:50

I agree, it all looks great on you. If I had to send back something, I’d go for the shiny blue top or the fancy shirt.
