I’m trying not to revert to my jeans and a jumper default. So today I’m trying out one of my smart jackets with my jeans. I’m not convinced - although I suspect it’s just because it’s a look I’m not used to. Perhaps a lighter coloured T-shirt would’ve been better.

Jacket: Hobbs
T-shirt: Primark
Jeans: Boden
Shoes: Clark’s

Morning Ladies

Maybe lighter shoes/trainers @OublietteBravo?

Oh crikey @Sooverthemill that is an early wake up, was DD unwell?

So ASOS had 20% off last night and I ordered another pack of the A&F t shirts in the other colour way. Will bin the tshirts I am replacing.

Sooverthemill · 01/07/2021 10:25

@Softpebbles yes she's really unwell at the moment I've not had a full nights sleep now for at least a month. And she's barely slept at all

Purplecatshopaholic · 01/07/2021 10:48

God @Sooverthemill that sounds so tough for you both.
Gone with a wee tea dress today - ASOS sale a few years ago, love it to pieces. Shoes from Casadei. I also went a bit mad in the recent ASOS sale - awaiting a heap of stuff! I really like that top @Sickoffamilydrama - the benefits of WFH are defo that you can wear a fibre like that all day and no one can smell you, lol!

@Softpebbles - I changed my footwear based on your suggestion.

@Sooverthemill - I’m sorry to hear everything is so difficult for you and your DD. I really wish there was something I could do to help.

zigzagaway · 01/07/2021 15:34

I'm still trying to kid myself that it's warm

Shirt - oasis
Jeans - mint velvet
Sandals - dune

Thanks @Purplecatshopaholic that's why I haven't got rid of it, it looks good but not very breathable! Love your dress 👗

@OublietteBravo there's just something slightly out with the proportions of the outfit I think...but I can't tell you what! This happens to me at times and I'd love to be able to go yes it is because of X/Y, you've got a great figure so it will be just about fiddling to find the right combinations. Funnily I've been thinking of blazers with dresses/ trousers lately!

@Sooverthemill Flowers CakeBrewWine whichever helps you in this horrible time.

T shirt Oasis
Jeans Boden

@Sooverthemill looking a million times more put to ether than I'd manage on a 2am wake up!

@obliettebravo I like the look. It makes you look funky and grown up. I'm not sure grown up is the right phase but you know what I mean (I hope). @Sickoffamilydrama says, play around with it. Maybe a lighter t-shirt with the trainers? Jacket sleeves rolled up a bit to change the proportions?

@Purplecatshopaholic fabulous!

@zigzagaway nice and the sandals are beautiful.

I actually went to London today and it was not raining.

Jacket - french connection
Dress - topshop
Sandals - M&S
Bag - not sure but it's real leather and calfskin

All "vintage" aka charity shops

Sooverthemill · 02/07/2021 08:19

Thank you everyone, better night last night though I think just because DD didn’t call me not because she’s improving. She was worried she had broken me yesterday!
Well I suppose this weather means I get to wear more of my autumn stuff?
Linen shirt: Boden ( truly ancient and too big really) oh and have since French tucked
Cropped chinos: Boden ( also ancient)
Sandals: Birkenstock’s
Hoping I won’t need a jumper today

Not a Reiss fan - a bit bland generally. However, this popped up on the John Lewis sale and I take it back, I love this dress. It’s got a zipped boat neck which I have spectacularly failed to show properly but it’s lovely. Shoes are vintage (ok, old) Moschino. You need cheeky shoes with a cream dress in my world! Happy Friday everyone.

@Purplecatshopaholic you are the worst bad influence... when I couldn't sleep last night I fell down a rabbit hole of red sole shoes! 1 very impractical pair winging their way to me!

NotMyCat · 02/07/2021 10:43

Ancient top, label has worn off! No idea where from
Next hypercurve jeans (as usual)

Ooh and my trainers just arrived!

Purplecatshopaholic · 02/07/2021 11:38

Oooh, I love those @NotMyCat

EllaPaella · 02/07/2021 11:53

Oooh shoe envy! Love them @Purplecatshopaholic and @NotMyCat those are super trainers!
Wearing the same culottes again today as it's very warm and sunny here so making the most of wearing lovely summer clothes while I can.

@Purplecatshopaholic that dress is glorious. Oh god I don't need it but I want it. Do you have the link?

I am once again in riding gear (sorry @Sickoffamilydrama). Last blast on my mare before my riding holiday with DD next week. Where we are going to go fast all the time apparently.

Yellowbowlbanana · 02/07/2021 13:24

OublietteBravo I think your jacket and jeans combo would look nice with either a v neck top or a vest top.

Am a very intermittent poster sorry:
3/4 length trousers - arket
Vest body suit - fabletics
Sandals - plankton via tkmaxx

zigzagaway · 02/07/2021 14:23

Also had a delivery! Navy lightweight jacket from Hush which I think might be a keeper..

Wearing -
Skirt - DP
T-Shirt - Warehouse
Shoes - are going in the bin, I can't keep the heel strap on my feet!

Can’t get the link to work @Shannith, but it’s the Reiss Josie Zip Detail Dress, in White. Currently in the sale online at John Lewis. It’s so flattering on, I totally love it!

OublietteBravo · 02/07/2021 17:28

@Purplecatshopaholic - I love that dress on you! I haven’t looked at Reiss for ages. I must resist - I’m currently at parcel neutral and planning on staying that way!

It was supposed to rain today, but has been sunny and warm. So the jumper was only a temporary thing.

Jumper: Boden
T-shirt: Blue Zoo
Trousers: M&S
Trainers: Jigsaw

NotMyCat · 02/07/2021 20:11

@OublietteBravo I really like those trousers! Very tempted...

Sickoffamilydrama · 02/07/2021 20:15

Ooh a riding holiday where are you going @Shannith? I have always wanted to go to the Calgary stampede the biggest rodeo in the world.

Lovely dress @Purplecatshopaholic and trainers @NotMyCat

Nice jacket @zigzagaway

Thanks to @EllaPaella bad influence my DSis now has an early BDay present of a Libby loves dress which she looks lovely in especially with her golden colouring and I got this pink one I like it but not sure if it's too boring/old fashioned although it's a beautiful colour I'll iron it and re try it on.

Today I wore this blue dress which was an eBay bargain from 7/8.years ago
