They are all lovely @Shannith I like the grey/ the shorter one the patterned one is nice but not sure of it would look better with different shoes although I love the shoes....and I always wear shoes that are comfortable rather than worrying about coordinating.
What one makes you feel the best? It doesn't matter what we think it's how you feel that is important.

OublietteBravo · 28/07/2020 13:00

My favourite it the grey one @Shannith.

JimandWilson · 28/07/2020 13:09

The grey one @Shannith

Sooverthemill · 28/07/2020 13:34

@Shannith you lucky thing! Always wanted to have tea at the ritz though I did get thrown out Of the bar when I was a student very tatty in my hippie clothes...
No 2 is my favourite if I'm not too late. Enjoy!

Shannith · 28/07/2020 13:39

@Sooverthemill ha - I got refused entry at the institute of directors because I was wearing jeans (black, tucked into long boots!) fussy.

I've also been chucked out of other London institutions, but not because of what I was wearing. Grin

Shannith · 28/07/2020 13:44

Thanks - I think I'm going to go for the longer blue one - sleeves rolled up, blue belt tied, long gold necklaces and worn as a v-neck. It's got little slits on the side so feels a bit fancy but still loose and comfy.

Or the grey but I feel like if need do something with hair and makeup to omph it up a bit and I'm lazy.

toastfiend · 28/07/2020 14:34

I love all of the dresses @Shabbith, but would definitely pick either the blue or the grey for afternoon tea at The Ritz (sounds fabulous!) The styling you've suggested for the blue sounds fabulous. I love the shoes, too. Smile

Sooverthemill · 28/07/2020 16:10

@Shannith I was almost insulted when the Royal Overseas Club allowed me in! ( a private lunch when I was a Non Executive Director). It was excruciatingly ‘posh’. Nice food but felt I had to whisper

Ellapaella · 28/07/2020 17:39

@OublietteBravo loving your brogues!

@Shannith I hope you had a lovely time at the Ritz... the yellow dress gets my vote - absolutely gorgeous

Dress 1, 2 and 5 are all fab, @Shannith

Sickoffamilydrama · 28/07/2020 18:03

Thanks @Ellapaella how weird @Shannith first lot of dresses is showing for me it wasn't earlier, I love the yellow as well.
So just tried on my heavenly feet purchases. They are so comfortable the boots have fluffy lining as well. The boots and shoes have quite a rigid structure around the heel which doesn't seem to pinch or rub but gives good support. They all have really cushioned bouncy soles.

@Sickoffamilydrama gorgeous dress.
@Shannith hope you have a good time at the Ritz. My vote would have been yellow dress, but like them all.

Just a green T-shirt and shorts kind of day today.

I'm wearing a sleeveless purple dress from monsoon. I can't remember buying it but I found it whilst clearing out my wardrobe.

emilybrontescorsett · 29/07/2020 07:19

I’m wearing a burgundy floral knee length dress from La Radoute today.

OublietteBravo · 29/07/2020 07:54

Great shoe haul there @Sickoffamilydrama - I especially like the boots.

I’ve defaulted back to my usual jeans/jumper/trainers outfit again. It’s so hard not to!

Jumper: Boden
Jeans: Mint Velvet
Trainers: Boden

Sooverthemill · 29/07/2020 08:39

@OublietteBravo I love the new brogues! How is it cold enough for an actual jumper? I'm in shirts this week but would be too hot in this humidity we have here. @shannith I want a full report on the tea! Also I can still only see what must be the second set of photos.@Sickoffamilydrama good show haul. So pleased they are comfy. Plus I really really like your outfit for your factory visit.

@Judystilldreamsofhorses really like your outfit, the top is great.

Variation on this week's theme
Linen Shirt: gap sale again ( gap linen is really good quality I have stuff from 15 years ago)
Jeans: hush
Sandals: Birkenstock

I'm late to the party! But I would of said the yellow dress but you looked gorgeous in all of them @Shannith

I'm wearing pink dungas from Zara via EBay and vest top picked up from holiday in Greece years ago. Off for a walk in the sunshine

LaGoulueRevenue · 29/07/2020 08:54

So chic, @Sooverthemill

Love the Zara dungas @Moonfacebiggins

@Shannith I'd have said the yellow dress but all were great options and I hope you had a lovely time!

Sooverthemill · 29/07/2020 09:29
