Hi everyone

That dress is amazing @EllaPaella! Really beautiful. I can't compete style wise today, as I'm wearing my husband's old t-shirt and shorts cut from his old jeans. But am at home all day so I'm just enjoying being comfortable.

Wow, @EllaPaella, that is a great dress! I am off to check out Zara!

[Sickoffamilydrama]

@EllaPaella u must stop posting nice dresses that is right up my street and I have no self control?

Yay outside @Sooverthemill and a sandy warm beach no less.

Looking good 😉 @Shannith

I had an important meeting today so did respectable on top and tested out this M&S skirt I never wear, it's too bulky isn't it?

Blouse Pure collection
Belt Sainsbury's
Skirt M&S

Thanks everyone, I posted on a FB group I'm in and someone asked for a link but despite the fact I only ordered it on Monday I can't find it at all now! I think I may have got a return. Sizing is crazy btw @Purplecatshopaholic - I am a 10 and this is a medium with no wriggle room at all.

@EllaPaella you look fab in it. I actually saw a lady wearing that on holiday recently and she looked good. I assumed it was designer as all her accessories were branded (a bit bling for my taste but there you go!)

[EllaPaella]

Well found @KiteflyingKat I just couldn't find it at all earlier.

[Sooverthemill]

Thanks everyone. It was so good to be out though really stressful as DD was very unwell in the night but we can rarely get a sit so I felt I needed it.
@EllaPaella great dress

That dress looks amazing on you @EllaPaella - love it!

Great outfit today @Sooverthemill. You do casual so well. Lovely to have a picture of you out and about yesterday.

Cool here this morning, but forecast to warm up. I don’t expect to need the layer for long.

Jumpsuit: Hush
Sandals: Merrell

@EllaPaella that dress is absolutely gorgeous on you. I have been admiring it on the Zara website, but it’s not really my style so I don’t think I would carry it off!

[Sickoffamilydrama]

Will take a picture later but look what else is nice on the Zara website!

[KiteflyingKat]

Have to say that despite admiring that Zara dress on other people something is holding me back from ordering it for myself

I find some of the styling on the Zara website so weird - puts me off buying from them . Whistles used to be terrible too - I loved the clothes but hated the styling on the website on really androgynous skinny models. Think it’s improved recently ~although I’ve stopped shopping there anyway as I find the quality poor for the price

[Shannith]

@EllaPaella nice dress. You're right - Zara sizing can be weird. There is a hack based on a symbol on the label (square/triangle/circle) as to wether it runs small, true or large.

But I can't remember which one is which. I'll look it up and report ck!

Friday! Woo hoo! Gone with all insouciant and faintly bored today… well, that’s how the mags would describe what is in fact ‘ first thing I grabbed when I realised I was going to be late to a call’…! All Saints combats and a band tee..

Dress Local Boutique
Sandals Clarks
Have cut the label out the bralette I'm wearing I like the contrast of the white & navy

[NotMyCat]

Trying on a new dress from Dorothy Perkins. I'm amazed. £22 and it fits my giant boobs, without being huge on my waist AND its long enough

[NotMyCat]

Photo might help...

[KiteflyingKat]

Dress - random brand - Urban something or other - from charity shop

Sandals - TK Maxx

Gorgeous weather today, sunny & warm but not boiling so can actually sit & work from home without sweat dripping down me!

[Justonedayatatime11]

Much cooler here today, quite nice to be back in jeans and not melting.

@Miseryisabutterfly thank you 😊 I didn't think it was really me either but had seen some people posting pictures of themselves in it on a facebook group I am in and thought it looked so nice in 'real life' on 'real people' and actually I love it, a real happy dress. It swings beautifully as well and is 100% cotton.

[EllaPaella]

@Sickoffamilydrama Zara have some really lovely dresses at the moment. That one is lovely too

[EllaPaella]

Super dress @Justa47 - You look lovely and that colour is perfect on you 👌

[EllaPaella]

We have been on the beach all day, wonderful and sunny and a nice sea breeze. Water has been perfect for swimming as well. I'm wearing denim shorts from Red Herring and a T-shirt from Grace and Mila. The weather was unexpected today, the forecast wasn't so good but it's been lush

[FraggleJunior]

That dress is really flattering @NotMyCat, great find. I agree actually, I don't think the Zara dress looks as nice on the website as it does on a real person. Been quiet overcast here today. Gave me a chance to wear my new (to me) harem trousers. I don't really know what to wear them with though. I've wanted some for ages as I think they look so nice on other people, but I don't think I'm styling them right! I wore them with white trainers today.
