@sugarbum that is a really lovey dress! and I like the sound of yours to choco so hoping for a pic next time round.

We are in isolation pending a covid test for my son AGAIN, honestly if this is what winter is going to be like I'm really going to lose it :(

Leggings, fat face navy floral tunic, and my big jumper today.

@LivingDeadGirlUK sorry to hear youre in isolation. Its fricking awful.

Its chucking down today so I'm in the trusty m&s wide jeggings and a t-shirt. not photo-worthy

I did wear my joules coat to town just now and I can confirm it is totally waterproof. I bought it for football (my sons matches on Saturday mornings - generally in howling winds, rain and sleet) but I haven't actually been to any recently as he has an ingrowing toenail and can't play. I'm not sad about that. (I'm sad he's in pain though, although he's getting it sorted on Friday. Again (surgery failed the first time which was a year ago today - apparently it works 96% of the time so that was unlucky)
My DH wore his fleece to town, and then complained he was getting wet. Hmm.
Photo is of my coat. Merely for the sake of posting a pic. Obvs thats not me Grin

Slightly odd photo but today we have a TU mustard cardy, a short flippy skirt from peacocks and a black top from Marks.

Nice outfits all!

@LivingDeadGirlUK I will remember to take a pic next time! Hope you and your son are ok! Is it a routine test or does he have symptoms bless him?
@sugarbum love that coat 😍
@Peachypips78 I love that outfit! Especially the mustard cardigan! I need to inject some mustard into my wardrobe but I always chicken out buying anything that colour as never know how to style it!
Today am wearing £2.50 burgundy skirt from primark years ago! Love their jersey skirts they are easy to wear and so cheap! You can normally pick them up in different colours etc can't fo wrong for £2.50! Jumper is boohoo. (Yes I'm a boohoo addict 😂)

I wore my teal pinny and black t shirt combo with black tights and black Vans. I've posted it before but was so lovely to go out for brunch!

Love this thread. I love that you all have a sense of style that I don't seem to possess. I am a size 20 with zero fashion sense even though I'm 53

I do keep meaning to post my outfits on here (not today though - M&S Jeggings and an ancient oversized Boden Breton)

But just wanted to thank whoever mentioned Navabi way up thread, my bank balance has never been the same but my wardrobe is much improved!

Who is watching bake off? I love Laura's style and would love to dress this way. I imagine at 5'2 I'd look ridiculous in those long floaty blouses/dresses tho.

I will be making a bit more of an effort today as we are handing over a project this afternoon, so no hard hat or steel toecap boots needed :D

@IslaMann I usually love bakeoff but I find Matt Lucas really irritating so haven't taken the plunge this year yet.

This is what happens when you choose your outfit for the day based solely on what has the loosest waistband. Thank you, Mother Nature!

Navy and white M&S skirt from a charity shop
Navy H&M jumper
Navy ribbed tights probably from Asda
Pink fluffy slippers from Asda (in case you wanted to emulate me and get a pair for yourself)

Can I ask what you all have for warm coats.
Any I have tried on make me look even bulkier.
So where would i get a flattering warm oat in size 20?

I'm looking for a coat too. I'm short and 18-20. I find it hard to find flattering coats.
Any suggestions welcome.

@LivingDeadGirlUK @Shinygoldbauble

I want a light weight, but warm coat without bulk but I fear it is not in existence. I am 5ft 5 size 20.

I see Karen Millen has launched a curve range.

I'm considering a leather trench coat actually. Belted is good for giving shape

For coats I got a decent one from landsend. They have a sale on now so may be worth a look
