What are you wearing today? Autumn/Winter 2021

[OublietteBravo]

I’m hoping I’ve been here long enough to be allowed to start the new thread. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s outfits as we move into my favourite fashion season.

@rockyV

Thank you all for the lovely welcome 🤗!

My decidedly anti-fashion contribution from today...it's raining and I can't take the littlest DD out on our normal run as the buggy has a flat tire ☹️ so comfy and cosy it is.

Oldest bobbliest joggers on earth - F&F
Sweatshirt - wild hearts wonder
Sliders - vans

Loving the tiger sweatshirt

[quote Sooverthemill]**@bendmeoverbackwards* @CrapAtThis* until recently, Grazia still did this. I also love this. I love the fashion week street looks but they already have the advantage over me of being known fashionistas usually not 'normal' people[/quote]
Yep Grazia did this.

Would love a picture of that, @Gonnagetgoing.

I've decided I'm going to start posting photos now to inspire my weightloss journey. I have about five stone to lose but you can't tell in the photo because probably 3/4 of it sticks straight out the front as if I'm pregnant.

Dress: Boden (terrible lighting but it is purple with small black leaves on it)
Boots: Fly

Black harems, Hush.
Charcoal funnel-neck knit, Gap, with also Gap pale cream polo-neck top underneath.
Cherry red Converse when I went out earlier, and black Agnes B long wool coat (from a charity shop).

It’s strangely warm today. I’m starting to think I’m overdressed for the weather.

Jumper: Karen Millen
Trousers: Whistles
Boots: Moda in Pelle

It's weirdly warm here too (London). I've still just been and got some of my winter jumpers out from under the bed though; it's just nice to see them again and there's a couple I'd forgotten about. I look forward to it being cold enough to wear them.

Welcome to all the new posters!

Today - Topshop Mom Jeans, Moda in Pelle boots (via charity), Hobbs top, Reiss cardi (via eBay)

Do I consider myself a fashionista? Not at all. Do I expect other people to think I look amazing? No.

I’m a middle aged mum with limited time & resources who doesn’t feel amazing about her post-baby body and is trying to get used to dressing for her current lifestyle, which involves lots of walking (in all weathers), frequent toddler wrestling, playgrounds, soft play and working from home in a very old, cold house with virtually non-existent heating . So those factors limit my fashion choices.

But what I like about this thread is it’s women - of all shapes & sizes, with different life circumstances and facing different challenges - wearing the clothes that suit their lifestyles and make them feel good.

Let’s keep this thread about women supporting women. If you don’t find it interesting that’s fine, but let’s avoid negative posts and keep this a supportive place.

Here's my anti-fashion contribution for today!

Turns out my meeting was casual wear, so I'm in jeans, but with a shirt as a nod to being mildly smarter. It's become progressively more crumpled as the day has progressed, though...

Jeans - Topshop
Shirt - Reiss

Would have worn with Fairfax and Favor mahogany leather Regina boots, but the meeting was at my friend/colleague's house so just in socks!

Might try and post a pic of this. However am on work laptop (and also phone) and hate posting pics!

by the way not wearing biker jacket inside but did wear it when going to dentist!

@Sickoffamilydrama

This skirt should go shouldn't it? The shape isn't working it's lose but then creases underneath my stomach. Jumper Next Skirt George

Another lurker!

I love the colours in that skirt @Sickoffamilydrama but I would probably wear with a plain black sweater over the top. The creases you mention aren't noticeable anyway - but a jumper over the top would definitely hide them .

Gosh, I won't take it too personally that my post showing off my bargain Zara trousers on Sunday attracted in a mean girl. Lovely to see some new posters and lurkers rallying round the thread in response though 

Those commenting about Zara, I agree with you entirely- I can only hack it early in the morning before it turns into a jumble sale. Website is utter shite - can't get my head around it. It's one of the only real high street shops left near me though

My contribution to the anti-fashion movement today is actually pretty much the definition of anti-fashion and a complete tribute to it being first real day of half term and weird mild / cold / wet weather that I have no idea how to dress for. So I've gone for all the colours in a @Sickoffamilydrama style tribute.

Jumper - Oliver Bonas
Vest - M&S Heatech
Jeans - Sainsbury's

Worn with Vejas, wellies and sandals - it's been a funny old day!

Welcome to all the new posters! So lovely to have you all on board.
Just wanted to say @Softpebbles how lovely you looked in your dress, absolutely beautiful.

Trousers M&S, Top Lucy Dodwell, jacket Allsaints and veja trainers. That'll do

Great colour @20FlowerPower 😊

Thanks @shinynewapple21 & @JunieSpoony for the suggestions about the skirt, I never feel good in it so it's going.

Still trying to find a suitable outfit for work related cocktail dress events.

This hush jumpsuit is good as smart but I'm comfortable in it. Not sure it's to casual maybe I need a silver belt to finish it?

The blazer is the hush one I can't remember was it you @toastfiend that recommend it?

Oh I love that jumpsuit on you @Sickoffamilydrama! I think you might be onto something with the belt idea.

Then there's this jumpsuit it's halter neck but a size bigger than my normal and would definitely need taking in and weirdly for me the legs taking up but was the last in the sale.

Picture of me holding the back in to give you an idea of the shape it has nice darting details.

It's mint velvet

Love the sparkly jumpsuit and it looks so comfy .

Maybe heels with the sparkly jumpsuit @Sickoffamilydrama I’m not sure I’d wear the jacket with it just because you can see how great the jacket looks with the black jumpsuit.

I like the second jumpsuit and jacket combo best @Sickoffamilydrama

Not enough contrasting colours with the first one and silver jacket. Love the sparkly blazer though and I think definitely heels 👌

@Sickoffamilydrama I like the first one - have you got a belt you could try? The new hush winter collection launched today and I noticed a few new sparkly jumpsuits in there too.

@OublietteBravo love your Karen Millen jumper

@Sickoffamilydrama, I like the drape of the first jumpsuit better. Silver belt and heels is a great idea. Black jacket, but maybe you won’t need it much at an event (I’m just projecting as I am always far too hot) so make sure you feel smart enough without it.

[quote bendmeoverbackwards]@OublietteBravo love your Karen Millen jumper[/quote]
Me too! It’s gorgeous.

Thanks for the jumper love - it’s ancient. At least 10 years old. I almost got rid of it in a clear out a couple of years ago. I’m glad I didn’t!

I have a (thankfully) rare WFH day today as I have 4 hours of virtual meetings across the middle of the day (11:00-15:00). The joys of the U.K. time zone in a global company!

Shirt: Boden
Culottes: Phase Eight (they’re actually green - bought specifically to wear over thermals for a work trip to Iceland in 2019!)
Boots: Celtic & Co (so old the company was still called Celtic Sheepskin when I bought them)
