Welcome @iguanadonna there was a poster put up a lovely coat they bought recently from ebay. I hope they post up to tell you.

I bought an fcuk very very practical winter coat last year from tk max for £100 I think it was. Its camoflague print so very me and probably not the look you're going for 😂 but it's exceptionally practical, and has a drawstring at the waist so it can be more fitted in shape. I spent maybe 45 minutes in the store trying on coats and taking pictures in the mirror (no one with me, and the photo made it look quite different than the mirror). I won't need to buy a winter coat for years now. I also have a black leather monsoon one I got bargainous £15 on ebay. I'm not sure how helpful that is.

Today is summer meets winter. Summery palazzo pants from peacocks, and a new size 16 thermagen top I bought off ebay. Its brushed inside so it's fluffy and nice 😍

Thank you @Myshitisreal . Will look at fcuk and monsoon. That striped top looks very cosy. I'm feeling better now have got home and removed my underwire.

Myshitisreal · 11/10/2020 15:00

Ooooo I've not braved the no underwire, how is it???

Try TK max if you're near one xx

I went for a bracing walk round an outdoor museum today, and wore:

White Stuff skirt
H&M Breton top
Jaeger wool blazer
M&S charcoal tights
Boots from... somewhere? I can't remember tbh. Either Asda or Pavers, but the writing has worn off the insoles.

Sorry about the dirty mirror, it isn't mine but lives in said museum so I suppose it is allowed to be a bit spotty.

Looking good everyone!

@Myshitisreal yes I'm an NIer too, love that we're more prevalent here than the rest of MN!

I wore a dress on Friday & had a few 'ooh, what's going on?' Queries!

Love that hell bunny dress & good luck with dh! Grin

I've just bought this dress off eBay. Managed to lose a stone over lockdown & put half of it back on over the last few weeks, grrr, so will need to get back on the wagon if it's to look passable.

Would love some comfy slightly smarter joggers if anyone has seen any? Might instigate Monday as a dressdown day if I'm starting to make an effort on Friday. Give us some balance!

Love dress down Monday 🤣 any excuse. I'm back to exercise tomorrow and it leaves me so dishevelled afterwards.

Jimmyjabs i LOVE that outfit 👌

And I love the dress buckeejit, looks beautiful.

Hoping Jessica returns soon, or is at least browsing from a distance 🤗

iguanadonna · 11/10/2020 15:55

@Myshitisreal

I've been wearing these during lockdown to smooth the move from desk to gardening. They're not particularly flattering bras, but they're ok and comfy.

Loving the new dress and also the museum-outfit above.

iguanadonna · 11/10/2020 15:56

Actually of course not the a-e variety, but the substantial-nork version of the same bra.

Myshitisreal · 12/10/2020 14:20

I'm horrified at how today's outfit looks on real life compared to in my head. I'll change next time I'm upstairs.

Asda dress. No structure or shape.

Myshitisreal · 12/10/2020 15:45

Much better. Old comic shop hoody, ebay 💀 trousers

I actually put a frock on today. I've been living in my lucylocketloves loungewear. Going for lunch with DH so I've dry shampoo'd my hair and plucked a few stray whiskers from my chin Grin Tights are purple snags. Dress is Popsy

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 13/10/2020 22:59

popping in again! no OOTD as ive just been in pjs for days but im going out into the outside world tomorrow and i shall be wearing a short sleeved high neck black velvet dress with black opaque tights, a black cardigan with cat faced pumpins on it, dr marten boots in black velvet and probably my ugly yet functional waterproof purple regatta coat. it really is ugly but i cant use an umbrella because i use double crutches so it being waterproof and hooded means i at least stay dry when im out and about

Chocachocaholic · 14/10/2020 07:46

Hi everyone! Just found this thread. Can I join please? Here was my outfit yesterday. Yes that is leggings with my dress but i don't care they are fleece lined and super cosy Grin I did wear boots on the school run so wasn't too obvious!
I'm wfh every day now and a busy mum of 2. Not going to lie I've had to buy a whole new wardrobe this year as my clothes were all geared up to working in the office every day and this year we are all working from home so lots of comfy but smart clothes have been purchased.
Anyway nice to meet you all Smile

Welcome @Chocachocaholic yes I'm similar now I'm mostly working from home I really have far too much formal/office attire.

Chocachocaholic · 14/10/2020 12:04

@LivingDeadGirlUK it's annoying isn't it! Nice not having to commute tho Smile

Love your leather skirt! I have a pencil one but it's far too uncomfortable to wear in the day, that looks like it would be quite easy to wear

LivingDeadGirlUK · 14/10/2020 12:13

@Chocachocaholic I really rate it, I got it on ebay so not sure if its current stock. I was eyeing up a pencil skirt too (I wanted something I could wear for work as well as with my alternative casual clothes) but decided against it as I couldn't think what winter appropriate shoes I could wear on an office day.

sugarbum · 14/10/2020 12:41

@Chocachocaholic hi!
Also mum of 2 and wfh. I mean I'm supposed to be. I'm clearly on mn.
Cant post a pic today as I'm wearing what I wore yesterday, except for the tights. I did change those. I'm not a total skank Grin

dazzlinghaze · 14/10/2020 12:57

Hi everyone, hope you don't mind me joining! I've really enjoyed looking at all your outfit pics. I've not got an outfit to show today because I wear a uniform at work all week but I felt really nice at the weekend so will show what I wore then! Please excuse my messy bedroom Grin

@Myshitisreal that dress is so cool! Where is it from?

Myshitisreal · 14/10/2020 16:43

Why thank u 😂 i bought it in a quirky shop in Glasgow for £10 but they are on amazon maybe £30/£40. I can't seem to link to it but if you type in what I called it you will find it xx I kind of wish I had it in a different style as its available in a few but 🤷‍♂️

Myshitisreal · 14/10/2020 17:08

Awk I've worked it out, sometimes my brain freezes with amazon
