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

Welcome to all the new posters. Nice to see some new faces. @EllaPaella I'm amazed that I have a watch mark on my wrist so even though the sun is bloody weak it's doing it's stuff and I have only sat in garden briefly a few times this 'spring'. . Maybe just get your legs out once a day!

My legs literally never change colour though I go a nice golden arms and face but my legs would stay white even if I was out in the sun all day everyday (or go pink).

Just been to M&S to buy ds a pair of joggers. Happened upon the jeans collection and they have a really good selection of non skinny styles if anyone fancies a change. I bought these boyfriend jeans and am really pleased with them.
Also in first picture is a pair of Anne Weyburn sandals I bought to go with my Sezane dress, these arrived today and I love them so they are definite keepers. And now no more spending for me for quite a while, need to save some money for summer ventures (hopefully).

Lovely dress @EllaPaella. I went shopping in OB (IN PERSON hurrah!) today as well. There are some lovely spring dresses there. I bought a floral one and a yellow sweater for over the top.

I also love those jeans Ella. M&S are great for jeans at the minute. Will have to have a look in there when I'm next passing.

I must check out M&S for jeans! Love the boyfriend for ones @EllaPaella! Another crumpled photo but work was loooong!

Doing the ironing opens up more of my wardrobe. I should probably aim to do it more often than once every 18 months!

So, this is supposed to be Spring?!

@EllaPaella great jeans. I think M&S must have a new denim buyer

Tee: old hush
Jeans: MIH
Shoes:M&S

@Sickoffamilydrama thank you. It's especially tough as the moment. Have had the roll out bed in her room. I don't think anyone should be alone when they are in so much pain. I'm having lots of naps!

I like those jeans @EllaPaella, I prefer the chunkier sandals, they look great.

I hope DD is feeling brighter soon @Sooverthemill

Ironing is just relentless isn't it @OublietteBravo

The weather here today is just awful.

Talking of ironing, does anyone have a handheld steamer they could recommend? Just to get wrinkles out of stuff really.

I'm in gym kit today as had some group classes this morning.

I have a handheld clothes steamer. It's good, but not as effective as an iron, although I think I maybe just haven't got the hang of it yet. I think mine is a Braun, but will check when I get changed in a minute.

Crap weather here too again. Not sure what I'm going to wear. I'm tempted to wear sandals in defiance, but I'll regret it probably if I do and it pours on the school run again. Why does it always rain buckets at school pick up time??

@LilyLolo81 and @EllaPaella love your outfits!

Hope your dd is doing okay, @Sooverthemill, and you've recovered from playing hostess!

I'm wfh today as I had a hospital appointment this morning and I’ve got an online training course this afternoon. Have just swapped my running gear for proper clothes!

Topshop mom jeans
All Saints vest top

The sun ⛅ is out and I'm meeting friends in the park so it's a win win!

I'll probably put a hoody and dark jeans on but this is my current outfit

Body suit & other stories
Jeans Levi's

Working from home today and definitely a comfy day.
Gap hoodie and Sainsbury’s leggings

Navy jumpsuit. Something of a wardrobe staple for me - I have 4 in total (plus a pair of navy dungarees).

Jumpsuit: Whistles
Trainers: Jigsaw

@Sooverthemill, I checked my steamer thing and it is a Tefal Steam Power. I have found it quite good, but not as good as an iron.

Next kimono
Next jeans
Gap t shirt
Dune trainers

Woke up at 7.30 which is normally late for me but yay! Lie in. Yoga for the first time in days. That felt so good

Have sold tons on eBay following the lead I think of bloggers who just price everything at £10, £15, £20 but it now. Seems to work. And makes me feel much better! Using this thread has helped me 100% work out what I feel comfortable wearing and what I feel I look ‘good’ in. Looking back on outfit photos is revealing too!

Tee: white stuff ( or fat face?)
Jeans: Levi men’s vintage via eBay
Shoes: Aldo

@itssquidstella thank you. The weekend was very tough, I basically was awake all night with DD and didn't get to see DD or DS much at all. Actually rowed with DH about it, how he just assumes he's going to have all the fun and I just carry on. Poor DD was miserable too because she is very very unwell and her siblings just went out and had fun all weekend. It's really difficult balancing this stuff.
@MaryTheMiddle thank you! I want it for when I can't be arsed to drag iron out for a few wrinkles.
@QueenPaw love that kimono!
@OublietteBravo how are you all? I can't believe you only have 4 jumpsuits!

Do these count as statement earrings?

@Sooverthemill - I have 4 navy jumpsuits. I have 5 more in other colours. We’re all OK and finally have no one self-isolating for the first time in about a month. DH was quite unwell all last week, but seems to be on the mend now. The DC are completely fine with no lingering symptoms other than a reduced sense of smell.

@OublietteBravo 😂 glad to hear everyone is reasonably well. Hope DH continues to improve.
