I like the culottes maybe try with it her tops? I also like the pink trousers but if they aren't comfy send them back! Disappointing for you.

CaveMum · 19/01/2021 15:23

Can’t believe the time already, where is today going?!

Anyway as promised I put my lovely new dress on for today. It’s just a plan black wrap dress but it just feels so well cut.

Dress - Conquista

@Sickoffamilydrama, love the dress. Agree about the culottes - defo try with a few more things before sending back?
Awesome dress @CaveMum. I have my eye on a dress from there too

Softpebbles · 19/01/2021 18:19

Great skirt again @Greyhairwarmheart

That dress is a timeless piece @CaveMum

Love the berry coloured top@Softpebbles

thanks for the jeans link @Sooverthemill they had all sold out although I probably need to stop spending now! & Yes I liked the pink trousers but they either didn't have enough stretch or the body was to short as soon as I sat down in they dug into my crotch....which is never a pleasant feeling Grin

So I have more next sale buys for you.

The shirt is to thin and creases too much should have realised with it being 100% cotton it would, it's also to thin to be warm in the winter but to see through to wear over just a bra in the summer.

Faux leather top from Vero Moda is really soft and looks well made but gives me a mono boob.

Jumpsuit is Levi's and i'm surprised how tight the top is and it's to short in the body! I look squashed in it because I am!

Then there's the balloon sleeved sweater which is really weird shoulders I wonder if the pattern has gone wrong with this one as seems to be choking me round the neck but loose around the shoulders and the sleeves seem to ride up so that 4/5 inches of my arm is uncovered so that's a no but great colour.

I agree love the colour of the balloon sleeved top. Shame about the fit of your sale buys. It will be much easier when we can try on in the shops again (not holding my breath for that though!). Let's just get my teen back to school- fingers crossed for February.

Sickoffamilydrama · 19/01/2021 20:26

Finally the keepers I'm undecided on the coulottes I may keep they are only £8 so not a massive investment if I don't wear them.

The glittery bodysuit is Reiss and is one of the more expensive items at £37 but my goodness does it feel worth it. It's really soft and I can imagine that I'll get years of use from it both as casual wear and for nights out... whenever they happen.

The black bodysuit with a low back is a bargain at £7.50 and again I can see me getting lots of wear out of it more so for evening wear but I suppose I could also wear it as a base layer under dresses although I could do with a seamless low back bra underneath it so I don't get any bra lines or I could go bra less which I'm sure DH would love!

Yes it is annoying not being able to try stuff @Greyhairwarmheart hopefully we will soon and actually it's quite nice to try things on in the comfort of your home. I also knew that some might not work but was trying a few things outside my comfort zone which actually if I'd gone past them in the shop I might never have tried certainly not those two bodysuits. And having them means when we do start going out I actually have something to wear!!

Ellapaella · 19/01/2021 21:45

I love all your outfits @Sickoffamilydrama with the exception of the denim jumpsuit, but it's the jumpsuit not you.
You have such an enviable figure and wear everything so well.
I think the culottes are fantastic and I absolutely love the tops in the last 3 pics. Keep it all!

Ellapaella · 19/01/2021 21:45

Especially the Reiss one

OublietteBravo · 20/01/2021 09:18

I love the bodysuits @Sickoffamilydrama - especially the glittery one. I think the culottes look great - especially with the belt.

Some great dresses yesterday - with and without jumpers. And I really liked your skirt @Greyhairwarmheart.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re back to trying to work with a toddler around @toastfiend. It’s so very difficult - try and go easy on yourself.

It’s surprisingly mild here today, so I figured I could wear a jumpsuit without getting cold. It’s also my first day of not wearing boots for ages.

Base layer: Gap
Jumpsuit: Boden
Trainers: Clark’s

Sooverthemill · 20/01/2021 09:25

I agree with everyone @Sickoffamilydrama. The culottes and colour of the balloon sleeve top is lovely. Also bodysuits are great. No bra help, look at figleaves for ideas?
@toastfiend I’m so sorry it’s just shit at the moment.
I know I’ve missed new people, sorry.
Really tough with DD I don’t know how I’m going to carry on with no NHS support . All our GPS and nurses are involved in being the vaccination hub for our whole area. But DD is still very very sick

So new shirt to cheer me up ( bought before Xmas actually)
Top: hush
Jeans: jigsaw
Shoes: kurt Geiger

Ooh and a good thing for today, Biden! My sister lives in Wilmington where Biden lives too. It's all been very upbeat ( in a socially distanced kind of way) and I'm so happy for her and her family.

CaveMum · 20/01/2021 09:35

@Sooverthemill yes definitely a good day with Trump on the way out!

It’s my office day today so I’ve made the effort to put a full face of make up on even though I’m unlikely to see anyone 😂

Dress - Monsoon

Sickoffamilydrama · 20/01/2021 12:11

Thanks @Ellapaella that's really kind to say.

Thanks @OublietteBravo I do love that jumpsuit.
Beautiful colour and patterned blouse @Sooverthemill and thanks.

@toastfiend I feel for you think I'd have a nervous breakdown.. not helpful but you aren't alone. And at least you always look fabulous.

Lovely shape dress @CaveMum I'm wearing monsoon too today.

Dress Monsoon
Boots Ecco

After @Ellapaella's kind words I thought it would be good for anyone feeling rubbish that I hide my "flaws" in the photos. Since child number 3 and moving from a on my feet job to a desk job, plus getting to 40, not getting much sleep & being stressed my waist isn't what it was but I'm slowly working on getting it more healthy but quite honestly the world's demands on women are unrealistic.

Thanks so much @OublietteBravo. @Sooverthemill and @Sickoffamilydrama. His Covid test came back negative, so that's good. He still can't go back because they need 48hrs clear after being sent home unwell (despite his temp and overall demeanour being normal since I collected him), but all being well he'll go back tomorrow. Just relieved he's ok. Currently, he's shrieking with delight and dancing to the Gruffalo song, so not much wrong!

Afraid I've not made much of an effort today. Only one meeting and it's informal, so I'm very much in comfy clothes.

Jumper - Urban Outfitters
Dungarees - Run & Fly

I like all your purchases, but LOVE the sparkly Reiss bodysuit in particular, @sickoffamilydrama.

Love your dresses the last 2 days @CaveMum, especially the Conquista one, and your jumpsuit @OublietteBravo.

Your new shirt is lovely, @Sooverthemill. Although I'm so sorry to hear that your DD is so poorly. I cannot imagine how hard it must be for you both. Are you entitled to any other support? I know when my Dad was very sick his private health insurance were able to help with some home nursing care. It was a long time ago, though, so I can't remember all the details, I'm afraid. Have you had any further news on the blood test results? I remember you saying the other day that they'd been delayed.

The dungarees look fab @waterpalava. Sorry, I meant to say the other day, they really suit you. Smile

Being stuck at home isn't good for my bank balance. I'm no awaiting a hush order, a John Lewis order of 2 French Connection shirts, and I'm eyeing up Fairfax & Favor boots. I need to step away from online shopping for a bit, I think! I took on some extra freelance work this month, thinking DS would be at nursery. He's obviously not been, which has added to the stress, but now all I can think of is treating myself with the extra money, which isn't a responsible adult thing to do, but there's not much other fun to be had at the moment!

Gah. You all make me feel bad for making zero effort. Some lovely outfits and purchases on here.

@Sooverthemill sorry you are struggling to get support with your daughter. You are always so upbeat and positive but it must be so difficult right now. But your new shirt is lovely. Sometimes I think clothes can really cheer us up when everything else seems to be going down the pan. How you can get some support sorted soon.

@toastfiend laughing at the Gruffalo bit. But definitely you should spend some of your extra income on treats.

I've decided that i need a project to get my wardrobe back on track. so have bought a book. The curated closet. Has anyone tried this?

I've also ordered some t- shirts from Hush. Camisoles from jigsaw and a jumper and trainers from MInt Velvet from Facebook sales site. I need to start the book I think! Oh and my next stitchfix box is due. Lol.

Today nothing special. Jumper Hush and 'leather' leggings Mint Velvet. I really need to finish redecorating my office too so that I have a proper mirror I can use for photos. Can't get to mine at moment as. All my stuff is piled up against it.

Have a lovely afternoon guys.

I’ve not made much effort either! Have had a right old headache today though!

I love the fairfax and favour boots @toastfiend, the leather knee highs. I forget the model!

Sorry about DD @Sooverthemill. Your strength is inspiring.

Neighbour who popped round with Waitrose bits for me this morning told me I looked nice!

Greyhairwarmheart · 20/01/2021 19:43

Love the bodysuits @Sickoffamilydrama and the shirt @Sooverthemill. Sorry to hear your daughter is unwell and unsupported by the health service. Dressed for warmth today in m&s thermal, pure cashmere cardigan and next charcoal striped trousers

So glad your DS's test was negative @toastfiend
@MerlinsButler will be interested to see what you think of that book!

Ellapaella · 20/01/2021 20:11

@Softpebbles lovely sweater - I'm partial to a rainbow or star ⭐️ 🌈
