We used to have one of these and it was fab!

It was vaguely for size 18+, but I know a 5 foot size 16 is not the same as a 6 foot one, so don't think it needs to be strict.

Anyway, if anyone would like to join me they'd be v welcome.

FWIW, I'm a tall size 18, apple shape.

Still in my PJs Blush. Then going out for a walk / run (stating C25K again).

Oh no! How annoying. Yes, maybe you need the smaller ones flying. Let us know if that works out better.

Any suggestions where I could get a long line Breton top? Any of the ones I’ve looked at stop at the hips. I’ve had three sections and my stomach definitely shows it so need something that comes to the top of my thighs. Just home schooling today and out for a mucky walk so Wearing wine Nike tracksuit bottoms and grey and black Camo t shirt from yours. Not very stylish. Can’t wait to have places to wear clothes again. Planing an at home date night tomorrow so have black h&m Jersey dress and pink snag tights planned with black thigh high boots. Tallish size 20, although probably leaning more towards a 22 after the last year of lockdowns.

M&S jeggings & a scamp & dude jumper dress.

@Sunshineboo west a lovely colour.
@Hepzibar looks so nice and put together but comfortable = win/win.
@ParisJeTAime I had one bravissimo blouse for work and it was a great fit but not the best fabric after a few washes. Disappointing as not cheap.

Today was black Asda gym leggings, M&S black and white gym vest and black hoodie. Adidas cloud foam trainers too. Cosy for home school and made me feel obliged to do a workout.

Planning a long bath, face mask and doing my nails tonight as feel a bit blah.

I just bought this from Cotton Traders. Depending on how handy you are with a needle maybe you could remove the cowl neck (although it will serve me well at this time of year). First thing I've bought since September!

@Smiledwiththerisingsun I absolutely love that Scamp and dude jumper dress

MrsSchadenfreude · 14/01/2021 19:38

I bought some emergency jeans from Simply Be the other week. They are straight leg, organic cotton, a bit of stretch. They fit perfectly, are comfy snd super flattering. And about £20.

LivingDeadGirlUK · 14/01/2021 22:04

I really enjoyed the last thread but it played havoc with my bank balance!

Drbrowns · 14/01/2021 22:04

Thanks ladies. Will look up those

Deathraystare · 15/01/2021 10:57

Wearing a black and white stripe top with a black cat on it, looks like he/she is crawling through blinds! I think it is by Ivy and Ruby - something and Ruby anyway, the tag inside says Miss Look. Thickish leggings (TU) and my very new Emu waterproof longish boots in a grey colour.

ParisJeTAime · 15/01/2021 11:07

Currently eating toast in my PJs Blush.

Shall get dressed when DH shows his face. It's his day off and we are tag team home schooling.

Will post a pic when I'm dressed Grin

DD has finished her school work for the week, we celebrated with a long lie!

About to get dressed to collect a package from the post office. It’s a truly exciting time to be alive 🤦🏻‍♀️

SoDiorDarling · 15/01/2021 11:39

A different day. A different hoodie and legging combo. Hey at least I'm dressed today Grin

Hello 👋. A bit late to the party. I was on the old thread for a while. I’m was a 16/18 but am now a definite 18 ( thanks lockdown 😭). I haven’t grown taller sadly I’m still 5’6” I’m trying to hone my style and streamline my wardrobe. Saying that I’m due to collect 4 things I’ve bought from John Lewis... (I can’t keep them all they cost £250.). Once I’m dressed I’ll share what I’m wearing.

ParisJeTAime · 15/01/2021 12:45

Hello and welcome (back) to everyone (re)joining Grin!

Yes, the last one was dreadful for my bank balance too Blush. Definitely trying to shop my wardrobe a bit more.

Here I am in M&S Siena jeans, top and merino sweater, both Uniqlo. I'm feeling a bit green around the gills today. No idea why. Anyway, not planning much today. I have a gentle yoga class later though, which I'm looking forward to.

It's very hard trying to take a photo. I seem to look a lot slimmer here sitting down then when I tried to take an even more awkward photo standing up.

ParisJeTAime · 15/01/2021 13:56

I really struggle to take a photo I like as well flying! Getting a full length mirror out is actually a PITA in our house as we only have one, which resides in my 6 yo's room! The rest, I can see my full reflection, but can't take a photo of it without some sort of contortion Confused.

I do need to get a full length mirror and attach it to a wall somewhere. DH would never think of it as he never looks at his reflection really. Just throws on clothes and that's that!

Opted for the boots, scarf and leather jacket instead. Principles 16.
