Anyone else thrown by this glorious weather?

I am as pale as a ghost, need to do some serious arm and leg toning and have gel polish on my toes that has grown out since early Dec. It’s bright red so really obvious. I am in a bad mood today in the heat in jeans, a long sleeve top and trainers. Need a serious overhaul. Anyone else?

I'm in Cumbria. It's beautifully sunny, but at 15° I can't really say it's causing me any wardrobe problems. Grin

FreshFaceTime · 31/03/2021 16:50

I see your moan and I raise you... pregnant with a week to go and only have wintery maternity wear. I'm rotating 2x black tshirts at the moment - everything else I can fit into is long sleeved. Found a stretchy black jersey maxi skirt that I can wear under my bump so have gone full on goth today. Fuck you fashion. And fuck you toenails.

I’m naturally pale so I don’t let that bother me too much nu but yeah, there was no way I was getting my legs out today! My feet need serious attention first.

JMAngel1 · 31/03/2021 16:52

Ha ha. Yes Fuck you bloody sun! I’m always in this position every year - takes me a good month to acclimatise to hot weather clothes and new beauty routines - it’s like painting the Forth bridge!!

A rogue ‘nu’ crept in there Hmm

Never mind OP, it will be cold again over Easter!

RMRM · 31/03/2021 16:53

Yes, completely, I never know what to wear in Spring. I seem to be incapable even at 45 of putting together something decent to wear. I always forget the feet or some other aspect. I'd love to have a Spring capsule wardrobe and I'm in definite need of hairdresser and eyebrows!

Mind you, our forecast says rain and maybe even snow next week, so it might be a short lived problem... until the next bit of nice weather and I'll feel this way again!

Crappyfridays7 · 31/03/2021 16:53

I’m wearing thick jeans and a Wool jumper here it’s grey and raining 🌧 and cold so can stay pale for longer lol

Northernsoullover · 31/03/2021 16:54

My legs are waiting for a wax. I really struggled yesterday. Anything cropped or a dress was out. I hope it stays cold until the 12th April as I look like a yeti!

JMAngel1 · 31/03/2021 16:54

Yeah, we’re having a reprieve Grin I don’t have the time nor energy to root for summer clothes in the loft yet!

Am getting off Mumsnet immediately to order a Footner!

AlohaMolly · 31/03/2021 16:56

I dislocated my knee on Saturday, can’t bend my knee and only have a shower cubicle so can’t shave my legs! Plus I have spent the last year carefully curating a loungewear wardrobe. I’ve panicked today because I get hot and sweaty doing the school run and have nothing appropriate for anything over 12 degrees, so just dropped £200 on H&M and matalan and will still need to shell out at snag tights because I get terrible chub rub.

FizzyPink · 31/03/2021 16:57

It’s my birthday this week so I’d planned ahead and fake tanned. However, outfits have totally thrown me. I was going to spend last weekend putting the warmest of my winter clothes away and getting some summer stuff out but then I saw it’s meant to snow next week so I haven’t bothered yet

KitchenFairy · 31/03/2021 17:23

I could plait the hair on my legs and underarms, I cannot WAIT for salons to reopen, my first appointment will be a full body wax. And my trotters are in serious need of some attention.

Thankfully there is only DH and DS around, we are not meeting with anyone yet, so I’ve gone for light jersey culottes and a sleeveless T-shirt which is not quite a vest. It’ll be cold again from Friday so making the most of it.

midsomermurderess · 31/03/2021 17:35

I was. We have a haar in Edinburgh.

lindyloo57 · 31/03/2021 17:53

I been gardening nearly all day, so I have m& s vest on with loose shorts, I did fake tan my legs, at first I had a strappy top on but change to the vest as it seems to much flesh on show, don't know why I worry no one will see me in the back garden.

ShipshapeShore · 31/03/2021 18:00

I realised today I can no longer ignore the extra few pounds as I can't hide them under jumpers for much longer! I always struggle with summer clothing but I think this year will be worse than ever.

AlohaMolly · 31/03/2021 19:07

Hear hear @ShipshapeShore I’ve put a stone and a half on in the last year. I’ve never been this heavy before Blush

Ladyofmainlyleisure · 31/03/2021 19:11

Who gives a shit what you look like?
I’ve got my white legs out yesterday and today.
It’s a shame to waste the weather.

RoseMartha · 31/03/2021 19:16

I am thrown by the fact they said it would be a glorious day with blue sky and above average temp, and it was overcast and cold.

Dressing wise. I realise a lot of my spring type stuff has worn out. I mean either looking discoloured and out of shape or i have worn holes in knees of jeans and leggings.

JMAngel1 · 31/03/2021 20:31

@Ladyofmainlyleisure
Err, I do.

@JMAngel1
Yes i will Smile

TableNiner · 31/03/2021 23:20

That was just the warning bell but it will come again... I refuse to do my toenails until we've had at least a week's fine weather

IllNeverLetGoJack · 31/03/2021 23:30

My outfits the past few days have massively missed the mark! One day, I wore a jacket and knee boots and it was boiling. Had to take off the jacket and my dress was then a bit too much pale skin on show - didn't help that the dress was nude colour and I looked naked from a distance.

Today, I wore leggings and an oversize sweater, which again, had to come off and I was left with a tight tee and leggings - I do NOT have the figure for this at all.

No, I shouldn't care and I don't really. If I really cared, I'd have sweated it out in jacket and sweater. But I have a better plan for tomorrow. Now it will be freezing of course Hmm. But I'm planning layers, where each layer looks fine. Spring is notoriously tricky though, as the weather is so changeable.
