I’m not at all sure what the weather is going to do today. Currently it’s humid and rather misty.

Shirt: Boden
Trousers: Jigsaw
Trainers: Jigsaw

I really like your trousers @OublietteBravo, and yours and @Sickoffamilydrama's dresses from yesterday were both beautiful. Smile

I actually forgot to post my outfit from yesterday, just my outfits from the days before... 🤦‍♀️😂

Yesterday -
Dress - Anthropologie
Trainers - Philip Hogg

Today - very boring right now as I'm working and getting my hair done, but I'm out tonight for drinks with friends. Are the black jeans/shirt/red shoes combo OK? It's been so, so long since I went out. Last time was before DS was born and I was all bodycon dresses, cleavage, and heels. I think fashions have changed since then (and my body definitely has... 😂) and is more casual for going out these days, but I honestly have no idea and the group are mostly very slim, glamorous London types and I don't want to stand out like a sore thumb (although they're wonderful, so would never make me feel uncomfortable anyway!)

Right now:
Jeans - Topshop
T-shirt - H&M

Worn with trainers and my Zara jacket.

Tonight's potential outfit (ignore the mess, I was getting everything out my wardrobe to try on, and realising how much no longer suits me and needs to be sold on...)

Jeans - ASOS
Silk shirt - can't remember brand
Shoes - Zara

Other options are a leopard print Never Fully Dressed Jaspre skirt with black t-shirt, leather jacket and boots, or a floaty maxi dress, but I think the dress might be too summery.

Looking for opinions! Everyone keeps saying skinnies have had their day so I picked these up today. I love them but DD told me I look like a cowboy Hmm. Do they look ridiculous?

Justonedayatatime11 · 09/09/2021 20:19

Ah. Pics would help!

I really like them @Justonedayatatime11, they look great!

Thanks @Sickoffamilydrama, I like your dress today too!

Thanks so much @Sooverthemill! I went for it in the end and didn't feel out of place. Even remembered how to do winged eyeliner and then ruined the feeling of proficiency rather by forgetting to close my eyes when I sprayed make-up fixing stuff on with my eyes open, which was a painful experience that I do not recommend. Anyway, lovely evening and an early finish as it's my best friend's wedding this weekend so we're all getting as much sleep as we can before the big celebrations begin tomorrow!

Jeans - ASOS
Shirt - InWear
Shoes - Zara
Necklace - ASOS

@toastfiend I'm so pleased. Going out seems a dim and distant memory!
@Justonedayatatime11 you look fab

Sooverthemill · 10/09/2021 08:24

@Sickoffamilydrama that's a lovely dress, I am sure your computer appreciated it

Sickoffamilydrama · 10/09/2021 11:10

I have no idea what to wear in this kind of weather - still feels warm and muggy but rain forecast and heavy, grey sky Confused

Day off today, I'm meeting a friend for coffee before collecting DS from school.

Dress - new look
Couldn't figure out which shoes to wear so trying out my new boots from Dune at John Lewis. For some reason the tan were half the price of the black!

Beautiful morning here. Taking doggo out for a walk then coming back for a sea swim. I've been swimming in the sea almost everyday since July (no wetsuit) and it's been amazing, I have definitely got used to the cold water and it's been so good for my mental health, a great stress reliever. I feel so much better for it so planning on keeping it up as long as i can bear it!
Nothing special for me today clothes wise. Jeans are ancient Levi's, T shirt is passenger. Hope you all have a great Saturday

My Dsis and I have both realised how much we love cold water swimming to @EllaPaella unfortunately we live as far away from the sea as possible but a local golf centre has just made an all year swimming lake so I'm going to test it out probably tomorrow. Enjoy yourself in the sea I'm jealous.

Nice casual outfit @Sooverthemill

The combination looks nice @PalacePaper I had the same dilemma today.
Ordered the long version of this dress and it got lost in the post they only had the short left in stock in this colour so they sent me that instead. I wasn't sure at first but it's grown on me.
Gone with brogues but think both boots kind of work and this is my legs with a tan!
Dress Libby loves
Brogues Clarks

@toastfiend - I absolutely love your Anthropologie dress.

@Justonedayatatime11 - those jeans look great. Teenagers are definitely starting to move away from skinnies. DD (17) scoffed at the idea last year - but her recent jeans are all looser styles.

@EllaPaella - very jealous of your beach (I live in a county which is landlocked by landlocked counties)

@Sickoffamilydrama - I really like the dress with the brogues. Although I think I’m biased against the boots because the weather is currently warm and sunny!

OublietteBravo · 11/09/2021 15:19

I didn’t get round to posting yesterday, so I have 2 outfits to report today.

Yesterday:
Shirt: Boden
Trousers: Whistles (the shape/style has really grown on me - I had a moment of doubt after deciding to keep them in the summer, but I think it was just the wrong season)
Trainers: Mint Velvet

Today:
T-shirt: Boden (new sale purchase)
Jeans: Hush
Trainers: Boden
