@Shannith keep the trousers and jeans j less you think you may lose lockdown weight soon? Shiny blue top may simply not photograph well but that and fancy blouse are my least favourite ( but in real life may be nicer) . Grey dress is good. Are the heels new too? Like those!

I've had a total sale fail in terms of shopping. Several sezane tops and ordered grenson nanette hoping that I wouldn't like them but of course I do. They were £114 down from £275. I suppose they may not be 'trendy' this winter but I've coveted them since I saw them in our towns fancy boutique and almost had them for Christmas but couldn't quite bring myself to pay so much! I have now ordered them in a different colour to see which I prefer and hope I don't like them both too much. Will take photos some time

Ooh, which tops? Sezane is a brand I’ve never seen or heard of in real life and I’m loving everyone’s stuff from there on here.

Haircut day today. I am beyond excited.

Here you go. The first two are the same as @Ellapaella ordered ( didn't realise though obviously she is my style icon) and the third I just loved. Ordered one which was too big so reordered same print in a different style this morning with discount code, they seem to be good but I do think a bit expensive and a bit too cultish for me with the fans but it's nice to have stuff which isn't high street but not designer prices

I love top number 1 @Sooverthemill, I’m not sure about number 2 as I’m not sure it’s sitting correctly and you have such a lovely figure. Top number 3 will be lovely with your pink jeans or some green cargo/chinos.

Just getting dressed and logged on for some inspiration!

Thank you everyone.

I'm going to mull a bit and take your suggestions on board.

I may have accidentally ordered some more of their sale dresses as I've just booked tea at the Ritz for me and DD for Tuesday. I'd promised to take her for her birthday but couldn't because of lockdown.

Let's hope they arrive in time. I do have other dresses, but you know...

@ultrababy 5.5. Legs are normal- weirdly long hips and no waist (I measured)

@Sooverthemill first top is lovely, agree the second top doesn't sit right though that style should suit you as you have fabulous arms. Third.. not sure.

The one you are wearing today is perfect.

Thank you! I think all are very nice and agree photos of 2 & 3 not very flattering. I think the phone angle doesn't help! Will take some better ones another time. The red one is such a good colour. No 1 is pure silk.

@Shannith I agree with the others - you look amazing in everything but I am less keen on the shiny blouse.

@Sooverthemill that first top is really lovely but I am not such a fan of the others personally. I am not big on sleeveless as a rule though, so probably ignore me! I don’t imagine the Grensons will date at all, so a good investment buy.

I got my hair cut! Wearing Joanie t-shirt, Miss Selfridge culottes, Stan Smiths.

@Shannith I like your buys, am in agreement with everyone else, if you're looking to send anything back, it would be the shiny blue too for me. I especially like the green top. Tea at the Ritz, how exciting, I can't wait to see what you'll wear!

@Sooverthemill love your sézanne bits, I love the broderie strappy top and my favourite is the black silk one, the neckline and details are just lovely. The grenson boots were a great price and a good buy as they're classics (I'd say, anyway. I'll wear mine forever)

@Judystilldreamsofhorses love those trousers! I think sleeveless are fab for high summer ( though probably holidays most often) and it may be that I don't get much wear this summer ( as the weather seems to have exhausted itself after our earlier lovely weather). I never ever used to wear sleeveless but since I've been doing yoga and my arms have toned up I no longer feel self conscious so I'm making the most of it!

You do have great arms and shoulders, soover

@Softpebbles I looove that white top

I'm wearing a boring Fatface denim dress. This is the kind of thing accessories make: jacket, boots, bag etc. Still, it's an easy enough outfit to wear

Pyjamas again.
Top and bottom from different sets so completely mismatched.
Navy with lemons on bottoms.
Turquoise camisole top with greying bobbled lace straps.
Grey fleece dressing gown keeps gettingvuo on and off as j can't decide if I'm not or cold.
I put on a pair on gunmetal coloured flip flops just now to go outside see if it had stopped raining.
No bag needed to accessorize today.

Hello! I’m a bit late to the thread. I’ve been having technical difficulties (my phone died).

Today we are shopping because the boy’s feet have grown 2 sizes during lockdown and he’s incredibly fussy about footwear. DD realised that she was going to be seen in public with us, so insisted on picking the outfits that DS and DH are wearing. I was allowed to pick my own outfit. Should I be flattered by that?

Jumper: Jigsaw
Jeans: Mint Velvet
Trainers: Jigsaw

I have also found my holy grail of jumpers and my new Toast jumper arrived last week. Absolutely love it. Perfect for evening beach visits. I also got a lovely Toast blue stripey linen jumper reduced to £39 in the sale which I am so pleased with.

@Softpebbles loving your outfit today.
@Justonedayatatime11 lovely dress.
@Shannith particularly liked the green top.

Actually went out for brunch this morning, so today I’m in a homemade dress (were paired with blush & glitter trainers). I’m on leave for a week now 😄!
