@OublietteBravo lol, I think you should definitely take being allowed to pick your own outfit as a compliment! My mum went through a phase of wearing shalwar kameez when I was about 15 (we're not Indian/Middle Eastern) and I found it mortifying. High praise indeed if DD approves of what you're wearing!

No interesting outfits from me but I do have a nice new face mask. Now there's a phrase I never thought I'd have uttered six months ago...

That's a lovely jumper, @Ellapaella

Shannith · 25/07/2020 18:28

@Justonedayatatime11 great dress and how exciting. Are you planning on buying anything?

@Softpebbles what Levi's jeans are they?

@Sooverthemill oh much better, no returns for you!

@LaGoulueRevenue that's a really nice dress.

@obliettebravo your DD sounds brilliant

More lovely outfits everyone

@Ellapaella where are the jeans from? They look so comfy

Justonedayatatime11 · 25/07/2020 18:33

Shannith I came back with a purse and a pair of shoes.... and a whacking great diamond!!! Very very unexpected!

Ellapaella · 25/07/2020 19:05

@mellowgreenspring they are Levi 501's tapered boyfriend fit.

@Shannith they are 501’s tapered leg. I liked the style on @Ellapaella

Shannith · 25/07/2020 19:48

@Justonedayatatime11 whaaatttttt? Amazing! Congratulations!

Justonedayatatime11 · 25/07/2020 19:57

Shannith no congrats necessary, we've been married 18 months Grin. Apparently this is the ring he 'should' have bought me at the time. Big muppet that he is!

Sooverthemill · 25/07/2020 21:22

@Justonedayatatime11 that's quite a shopping trip! Photo!

Justonedayatatime11 · 25/07/2020 21:27

I'm a little bit in love

Oh wow that's beautiful

Hi all I love this thread and you have inspired me to ditch the scruffy jeans while I am working at home, so thank you. I used to live in formal office wear and trying to mix things up a bit but I am struggling with the weather up North, I feel the cold anyway and this summer is rubbish. Would you wear dresses with tights and trainers? I know this dress is maybe a bit long, it looks better with bare legs and white trainers. Thinking ahead to autumn what else can I wear on my feet if it's cold? Sorry for the rubbish photo I was rushing!

@LoveBeingAMum555 yes absolutely- I think trainers and tights are fine - your outfit looks great.

@Justonedayatatime11 that's lovely. I am jealous as I've never had an engagement ring nor eternity ring. We could afford one now but every time DH suggests it I can think of a zillion things we need more! I would lose it anyway, all that hand washing these days!
@LoveBeingAMum555 yes definitely with tights and trainers, it looks great. @itssquidstella stylish face mask! Mine are Baukjen and lavender hill and although I bought them in April I think I've yet to wear one! DH has a few he uses to go to the bakers once a week and we have boxes of disposable ones still for medical purposes. Am up early in PJs. No photo

Sooverthemill · 26/07/2020 08:28

Just done my yoga session watched by the cats! Might it even be sunny later? If so I may put on a skirt. I read somewhere that next weekend is supposed to be a scorcher

Tee: FWP by Rae
Jansen: hush
Sandals: Birkenstock

What a spectacular ring, @Justonedayatatime11!

Justonedayatatime11 · 26/07/2020 09:51

Thanks. Does anyone know if happytobemrsg is ok? She doesn't seem to have been around for a while?

Sooverthemill · 26/07/2020 10:15

@Justonedayatatime11 that’s true. No idea

It got hot!

@Justonedayatatime11 you may already be married but I would like to congratulate you on that ring 😂 just lovely. That's a shopping trip to remember

Softpebbles · 26/07/2020 10:44

Morning. Out of my comfort zone today wearing a ‘holiday’ jumpsuit. Don’t usually wear in this country!

Makes me look quite wide - or maybe I am!
I’ve put a denim jacket on anyway.

OublietteBravo · 26/07/2020 10:49

@LoveBeingAMum555 - welcome. I’d definitely wear dresses/skirts with tights and trainers. In fact that’s pretty much my winter work wardrobe you’re describing.

@Judystilldreamsofhorses - gorgeous ring. I really, really like it.

I’m back in my jeans and a jumper uniform. It’s so easy to default back to it. I’ll try harder once the working week starts tomorrow.

Jumper: Oasis (it’s green and sparkly - which doesn’t really show up in the photo)
Jeans: Mint Velvet
Trainers: Clarks
