What are you wearing today? May 2021

[EllaPaella]

Hi all

Link to old thread https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/styleandbeauty/4174287-What-are-you-wearing-today-Spring-2021?msgid=104962677

Or Etam (who apparently still exist online).

That's awful, @Justonedayatatime11.
You should definitely complain!

Love those denim shorts @Sooverthemill.

@itssquidstella @Sooverthemill I complained and the retail manager called me, allegedly to apologise, but the general tone was 'I should consider myself extremely fortunate that I've got something so many people wanted'. Bit disappointed as I love their stuff, but on principle I will never buy from them again

@Justonedayatatime11 that's such a shame :(

Thought I'd post a picture showing what I wear 90% of the time, as I doubt I'll wear a proper outfit today!

Cap: Patagonia
Vest: North Face
Shorts: Nike

(As you can see, we do not iron bed sheets or anything else in this house.)

@OublietteBravo Thank you so much! Definitely ordering some x

Final day off before I have to work. I think I’m actually going to go into the office tomorrow. It seems to be overcast here - and my weather app is saying there is a 40% chance of rain.

T-shirt: Oasis
Dungarees: Boden
Sandals: Next

Think my hair is channeling Brian May today a bit like the picture but quite like it 🤣

T shirt Rapuni
Jeans Next
Trainers ECCO

Not cycling today so can wear my wide legged trousers. They are my daughter's friend's cast offs. Trousers primark, top white stuff.

Brian has a decent head of hair sick We were down in Oxfordshire last weekend and gosh it was so so hot! I think you said before you live near Bicester?
What a beautiful weekend it has been. End of a busy but perfect week for me. Just caught up on housework and about twenty loads of washing as we've been away then had friends staying the second half of the week.
Both younger two boys are pulling faces about being back to school tomorrow and I feel sad that the holidays are over as it's honestly been so nice to see all our extended family and friends from down south after so many months.
Anyhooo count down to summer hols now and we have lots of lovely things to look forward to over June/July.
Today was melting. Pottering at home/garden in Hush harems and blouse from urban outfitters.

@EllaPaella sounds like the best of weeks.
Who went to the Ritz? I want feedback
@Sickoffamilydrama I always think of the Friends episode!
My weather app says it’s 20. It’s lying
I had a fab weekend. DH was up to see his elderly frail mum and other family and DD snd I could relax. It was so nice only having to look after her. DH though lovely is really high maintenance . This was like a holiday
Roll on him going back to the office

DH has friends coming for breakfast in the garden. Chilly!
T shirt: Sézane
Jeans: boyish
Sandals: Birkenstock’s

Hot hot hot here today. I'm going into the office for the first time in ages, may need to add a cardigan.

Your half term sounds lovely @EllaPaella. I was working 2 days but had the rest of the week off and we had such a nice time, I've got a bit of back to work blues this morning.

Your weekend sounds lovely and relaxing @Sooverthemill

Skirt - charity shop (bought during my night away with DH - there were good charity shops there!)
Top - monsoon
Belt - H&M

Looks like it's going to be a lovely day, aiming to take a break from e-mails and calls and actually sit outside for half an hour

Top - next
Jeans - white stuff
Sandals - Birkenstock

@Sooverthemill the Ritz was me . Utterly fabulous, so much so that we missed our train home!

I’m actually in the office today. Which means a jumper is necessary to combat the arctic aircon!

Jumper: Warehouse
Trousers: Boden
Trainers: Jigsaw

Your week sounds lovely!

I'm not far from Oxfordshire, in Berkshire. It does get warm here! I'm used to it now, but when we first moved it felt like moving abroad to me

No office for me today, so no Aircon to worry about!

In dress from ASOS tall range, with a body underneath as it is a bit low cut for me otherwise. Necklace from M&S. Will either wear birkies or trainers with it.

Your week sounds lovely Ella I mean!

Ah I am another with back to work blues, I only worked two days last week and we had such a lovely few days off. I am making the most of time before my eldest goes off to Uni in Sept (Fingers crossed!)

@itssquidstella I spend too much time in lycra and neoprene lately! Makes me feel happy though.

Some lovely outfits, I am still really trying to not buy anything. I think I will need a few t-shirts at some point.

Re Fairfax and Favour, I was hoping to go to their store in July whilst we are away as I wanted to try their boots, I have however now found the Spanish version and will be tempted to get them nearer to Autumn winter.

@Softpebbles the valverde botas boots? They're lovely and apparently previously manufactured for f&f so their boots are identical

@Justonedayatatime11 yes that’s it Valverde.
Today back to sitting at a desk. Albeit at home.

Blouse - really old gap
Jeans - fat face. Don’t think I wore them last summer.

@EllaPaella glad you had a great week, well remembered yes near the infamous Bicester village outlet (that you'll either love or hate if you are local) it's been the perfect week to have time off I actually have a slight tan.

@OublietteBravo I hate air conditioning it never seems to be right always freezing or rubbish, enjoy the office visit.

@Sooverthemill glad you had a restful weekend, I've been to the Ritz 14 years ago for DM birthday and it did the best chocolate birthday cake ever. I've never seen that friends episode...dare I say friends pretty much passed me by I was late teens - twenties and spent my time filled with horses studying and dating mostly DH.

@MaryTheMiddle it's a lovely place & nice dress.

Jumpsuit Ted Baker
Sandals clarks

@Softpebbles @Justonedayatatime11
I have two pairs of Valverde Botas boots - both very beautiful and much much cheaper than F&F. I’ve had them a few winters now.

Sunny here again. Yay - my dog loves it (and so do I). Actually a bit jealous of those of you who can go back to your offices - I will be WFH until the end of the year probably. Everyone looking suitably summery today. I have another wee All Saints slip dress on but with a camisole under it in case an unforeseen Webex call ensues! It’s a bit low cut on its own for work! Wearing it with some cats eye sunnies from Ted Baker

@Purplecatshopaholic - I’m already back home. Because this is currently what constitutes a hot desk. No monitor, no keyboard, no proper chair - not even any power (note the dangling cables not attached to anything). I suspect I have a lot of complaining and general being a PITA ahead of me.

Omg @OublietteBravo wtf??!!
