Which pavers wedges are they please? I'm desperate for a comfy pair as I can't rock the white trainers look

LivingDeadGirlUK · 08/07/2021 13:13

I'm just in jeans and a tshirt today, its too warm and I was sweaty from my walk to the office.

alphaechokiwi · 08/07/2021 14:26

Today I'm wearing a wrap skirt (Toast) and a vest top (Tu).

I wear black trainers instead of white. Not me at all!

Love the skirt vest combo..looks very cool.

Thats a lovely outfit! I am really drawn to Toast but I've not found the fit great for a curvy pear shape.
LivingDeadGirlUK · 09/07/2021 14:31

I'm in leggings and a t shirt today as we are self isolating again. The wee man has quite the cough but otherwise is bouncing around the house!

alphaechokiwi · 09/07/2021 15:08

@LivingDeadGirlUK -I'm a pear shape too and I have great success with Toast. Their skirts and trousers are generously cut but somehow don't have too much material which would make my hips and thighs look bigger than they already are...
Today I'm in jeans and cardigan from Jigsaw and a T-shirt. I don't find these jeans very flattering but I am mid weight loss and don't want to invest in new onesGrin.

They do a kind of pleated front trouser which I must admit I've been eyeing up.

Leggings and T shirt again but we have had a negative test result for my Son so we are allowed out!

Is anyone heading back into the office now? I'm struggling with office wear, we are back in as and when we need and I've just been going in casual clothes, but I actually like having different clothes for work and home. I don't fit into any of my blouses or summery tops now and looking to find some nice bits, bar a lovely orange silk top I've come stuck!

alphaechokiwi · 11/07/2021 10:26

@LivingDeadGirlUK, I'm still WFH. But when I'm returning to the office I think I'll wear some floaty silk shirts from which I bought on eBay which I'll pair with trousers and flats / Birkenstocks. I work in a corporate environment with a relaxed dress code. No jeans etc but full business attire not needed.
Today I'm wearing a Lucy and Yak jumpsuit.

alphaechokiwi · 11/07/2021 10:42

Alternatively, any of those floaty patterned midi dresses around at the moment would work for the office depending on your height and shape. You could add a blazer to make it more formal if needed. Toast have some nice expensive shirt dresses in at the moment. But I don't know how they work on a pear shape

greyinganddecaying · 11/07/2021 11:29

I'm not going into the office any time soon, but still have quite a few "work only" clothes - wide leg work trousers mainly & jersey shirts, maybe with a camisole underneath. Everything is stretchy, which is the only reason I can still fit in it all!

Deathraystare · 13/07/2021 16:01

Joules navy Ebba leggings and a Lands End t shirt, my usual black skechers (slip on).

alphaechokiwi · 13/07/2021 16:09

T-shirt - Toast, linen trousers - Tu (Sainsbury's)

@greyinganddecaying

I've been playing around with Stylebook & am going to wear this outfit for my jab trip Grin

Not very exciting but a change from my normal day pyjamas!

Those boots are lush
LivingDeadGirlUK · 19/07/2021 19:10

Scorching here, I've been wearing an orange silk top from Hobbs and I have to say it really makes a difference in keeping me cooler.

Deathraystare · 20/07/2021 11:17

Kim & Co black/pink culottes and a peachy pink Primarni t shirt.

alphaechokiwi · 20/07/2021 11:50

I'm wearing Tu bermuda denim shorts and a Poetry t-shirt. I have to look a bit respectable on my top half when WFH Grin

LivingDeadGirlUK · 21/07/2021 17:54

I wore jeans today like a fucking idiot :(

alphaechokiwi · 22/07/2021 09:33

@LivingDeadGirlUK - You must have been boiling!

Today I'm wearing a long silk floaty skirt from East (from back when they had actual shops!) with a vest top.

alphaechokiwi · 22/07/2021 09:37

Pic now attached!
