I’m starting to wonder if I should stop pretending it’s summer and switch to my autumn wardrobe. Perhaps the weather will warm up if I do that?

Top: Primark
Trousers: M&S
Trainers: Jigsaw

Might have to add a jumper. Currently only 17C.

Blimey, it’s really hot! Wardrobe doesn’t know if it’s coming or going! Might just slob in the garden and do nothing. Old harem pants and a vest top for me today

@Sooverthemill I absolutely love the jeans. I like them with the loafers. You are good with jeans!

@Sickoffamilydrama that dress is just lovely.

@NotMyCat wowsers that dress is smoking - you look lovely.

@20FlowerPower the shoes are perfect and the blisters will go.

@Greyhairwarmheart that's a very nice skirt indeed.

I will be passing a few charity shops later. I feel very lucky!

Sickoffamilydrama · 28/08/2021 17:03

Weird weather then @OublietteBravo as we are 21°c and mild with a little bit of wind but intermittent sunshine.

Nice jeans @Sooverthemill I might see if our local outlet has some

Nice bargain Cardigan @Shannith

Just sat down with a Brew having been organising and cleaning since we got home at 1 we are on our 3rd wash load with a huge pile still to go.

Wish I was in a summer dress, but no.

@Sickoffamilydrama expensive charity (for me about £20)- our local Salvation Army has a designer section.

Today's £1 rail

Jeans - Hollister (very soft)
Top (it's got sequins because why not) - topshop

Also a huge crochet blanket for £5 which DD who is feeling poorly has commandeered.

Lovely jeans @Sooverthemill

So debating on some longer shirts to wear with leggings, chunky socks and boots for winter. Are leggings done?!

Have seen a couple of nice shackets!

Sooverthemill · 29/08/2021 09:38

It’s sunny but chilly here today. Yesterday I ended up changing out of those jeans. They are 100% cotton and need wearing in!
Waiting for DH to return from DD1s big party. Can’t wait to see the photos

Great dress @NotMyCat. Looking fab!

It was sunny when I got up. But it has reverted to cool and grey and cloudy. My outfit has evolved accordingly.

Going to a friend's 90s themed 40th so I'm grunge today, I actually like the hair and purple lipstick although it flakes and wears off terribly!

Shannith · 29/08/2021 19:55

@Sickoffamilydrama love it. Reminds me of when I used to wear a checked shirt, with a velvet jacket on top and a denim jacket on top of that. Grin

Sickoffamilydrama · 29/08/2021 20:27

Thanks @Shannith I'm tempted to restyle to it permanently! Perhaps I could make everyday a dress up day?

More importantly did you buy anything horsey?

20FlowerPower · 29/08/2021 20:32

@Sickoffamilydrama you look amazing!! Love the whole look and @OublietteBravo those anthro trousers are lovely on you. @Shannith , as ever I'm in awe of you and your amazing charity shop eye. That free people jumper looks really cosy.

Nothing worth sharing from me today, but hush has 10% off this weekend if anyone is in need of anything - I've gone for some Agnes jeans.

Had a good session this afternoon unpacking my autumn clothes and putting away the summer outfits I know I won't be wearing again. Very cathartic process. @Sooverthemill those news jeans of yours would fit right into my autumn ensemble! Cooler here today so probably time to accept summer has gone...

toastfiend · 29/08/2021 23:13

Argh, I've been rubbish again! We've been away on holiday this week, which has been lovely. Home now, via the hell that was Heathrow border control, and everything is suddenly feeling very Autumnal! It suits me, as I much prefer the cooler weather, but I was really surprised how cool the evenings are now, especially compared to France!

I love, love, love your Anthropologie trousers, @OublietteBravo, they're amazing, and the outfit overall looks great.

@Sickoffamilydrama your 90s outfit is totally up my street, I feel like I want to emulate it for real!

Hope the show was good @Shannith, did you make any horsey purchases? Even though I don't currently have a horse I still drag DH round every tack shop and stall going. I think it's such an ingrained habit at this stage, that and staring wistfully at adverts for ex racehorses on Facebook. I nearly enquired about one the other day but it wouldn't be sensible as I just don't have the time at the moment to commit to owning one right now, so need to stick with sharing. He was a half brother to my heart horse, though, who I lost last year and it's so tempting.

Love your Sezane jumper @Sooverthemill.

Not very exciting from me. I managed one outfit picture on holiday and it wasn't even very special...

Holiday (excuse the mess, I have a theory that there are 2 kinds of people: those that unpack on holiday and those that live out of bags and end up with everything scattered to the four winds. I am definitely in the latter category) -
Shorts - Jigsaw
Top - H&M
Worn with Philip Hogg trainers.

Yesterday (excuse the big orange scribble next to me, DS was very keen to be in on the photo! 😂) -
Jeans - Topshop
Top - H&M
Boots - DMs
Jacket - Zara

Nothing from me today as I've spent most of the day in comfy clothes and lying down because I've got some kind of ear issue that seems to be causing vertigo. Dosed up on sudafed and hoping that does the trick to unblock whatever is blocked, otherwise I'm back to the GP again who I think are absolutely sick of hearing about my ears after 3 consecutive infections.

Hope everyone is well. Smile

Sooverthemill · 30/08/2021 08:55

Trying one of the 20 ways to style a shirt! I assume DH will laugh at me.

Linen shirt: Boden genuinely ancient
Jeans: Levi
Shoes: Aldo

Rain again

Sooverthemill · 30/08/2021 09:39

@toastfiend where in France? Love France and miss our holidays there so much. And I hope that clears up soon, sounds horrid. I'd get that horse ( though I am scared of horses) it sounds like you need one in your life again. DD is trying to persuade me to get an African Pygmy hedgehog at the moment to join the 3 cats 2 dogs and 2 hamsters. Probably not.

OublietteBravo · 30/08/2021 10:31

Good to see you @toastfiend. I’m the other type - I don’t feel like I’m on holiday until I’ve unpacked. Not that I’ve been anywhere this year. Can’t wait to be able to travel properly again - I really miss it.

Drizzle and generally feeling autumnal. I feel like I’m counting the days until I can switch to boots.

Jumper: Jigsaw
Jeans: Jigsaw
Trainers: Mint Velvet

Luckily/unluckily it was a bit light on horse stuff though I did manage to watch the 1.50m class in between being literally mobbed by beagle puppies.

Pictures because my jeans and bag (which I forgot I had treat in) are in it.

@toastfiend good to see you. I'm not going to give you sensible advise on getting a horse am I? I rode an ex racer for a few days on holiday this year and we FLEW.

Jeans -hollister
Bag - topshop
Beagles - local pack

Purplecatshopaholic · 30/08/2021 10:53

Awww, was about to comment on everyone’s clothes until I saw Beagle Puppies and forgot everything else! Wearing a total ASOS sale impulse buy today. Black midaxi dress with a split. Moschino shoes

@Sooverthemill - beautiful pic, stunning dress

20FlowerPower · 30/08/2021 14:01

Aww @Sooverthemill so glad she finally got to celebrate. Hope you're doing ok and not too down about missing it.

@Shannith PUPPIES. That's all I have to say. PUPPIES!!!

@Purplecatshopaholic I love that black dress - very sleek

@toastfiend welcome back - very jealous of your actual holidays!!!

@OublietteBravo I bought new ankle boots in Sainsbury's earlier today. It's ok - it's time.
