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.

@Justonedayatatime11 I would say a tiny bit roomy enough for thick socks. I wish I’d got the other colour though with the black fur! My legs aren’t skinny but not big and they are fine. X

@OublietteBravo

I’m so jealous of everyone who lives near decent charity shops. I definitely don’t!

Back in the work toilets for my photo today. Will catch up properly this evening.

Jumper: M&S
Culottes: M&S
Boots: Doc Martens

love this outfit do you have a link at all. I'm not sure if it will look as good on me as a size 20 though.?..
OublietteBravo · 28/10/2021 21:16

@Weedsorwishes - the culottes are here. (I’m 163cm and went for the regular length). The jumper is from last winter.

thats great thanks they are a good price too! Any other tops you would recommend?

Weedsorwishes · 28/10/2021 22:08

ps I think I will get the green ones they look a nice colour

Graphista · 29/10/2021 01:11

Not posted for several days as would have been veeeeery boring for you guys! Leggings & top x 3!

Debating whether to get stylebook might download tomorrow and give it a go.

With me it won't be jeans it'll be leggings and tee shirts!

@Sooverthemill it is unseasonably warm even here in Scotland 11/12° here now!

Well done @Sooverthemill for not saving that lovely top for best!

I agree!

I spent WAAAY too many years saving stuff for best - clothes, jewellery, perfume, make up but also dishes, favourite mugs and glassware, that kinda thing. RIDICULOUS! Enjoy the things that make you comfortable, happy and confident

I don't think there's an outfit posted I didn't love!

But particular favourites are:

ops blue skirt from Tuesday

@JunieSpoonys top From Tuesday

@Chrispackhamspoodle orange hoodie

@Purplecatshopaholic the sweater vest/tank top whatever they're called now (envious as I'm too chesty for these, they all seem to be chunky crew neck, where if you're chesty a v neck works better)

@JunieSpoony love the green dress, I'd go long and wear with opaque tights and brown Chelsea boots or similar, teal boots would go great! I'm envious of the teal!

The shops at the moment seem absolutely FULL of black boots!

I've 2 pairs black one pair brown Chelsea's

I'm on the lookout for brown with a little heel (I'd love brown version of the black low heels I currently have) or flat or low heeled boots in like a wine or burgundy red? Green or teal boots I'd like too

I'd also like low heeled, comfortable court shoes (is this TERRIBLY old fashioned?) or "substantial" ballet pumps type in black/brown/navy/wine or burgundy red

I can't do the loafers that are about as the weight is too much and in a weird place for me and would make the leg that plays me up most worse.

@Chrispackhamspoodle I'm
SO glad at 49 you're wearing all lengths!

I've been worrying about that of late. I have a monochrome skirt that's mid thigh, and an a-line bit longer skirt in a sort of bobbly texture that I would LOVE to wear but I've been hesitating on.

Not just age but size too, I don't want to look foolish.

@EllaPaella love the cos dress and the top with the biker jacket especially

@Greyhairwarmheart love your Boden stripey/patterned top

@Purplecatshopaholic love your wolf & badger earrings! So much I'm off to google...

Wow! They have some truly gorgeous and unusual earrings that are right up my street! Couldn't find yours though

@zigzaggaway I used to love Karen Millen too big for there at the moment gorgeous skirt and cardi

I agree with @KiteflyingKat it's best to hit the charity shops in the wealthier areas. Where I live is one of the most deprived areas in the country...but 8 miles away is a very wealthy area and the charity shops there are a bit of a treasure trove!

Posting now as else it'll be too long to post

Graphista · 29/10/2021 01:34

@Sooverthemill love the Agnes jeans but really love the Alex mill cardi

@Greyhairwarmheart I like the 2nd dress best I also love the purple necklace

@OublietteBravo love the green culottes

@Softpebbles love that M&s dress

@Purplecatshopaholic the snakeskin boots are gorgeous but yea tricky on the cobbles - I've not been Edinburgh in ages

Had a wee bit of a splurge today, was having one of those days I need to rein it in though! For finances if nothing else!

Today I wore the green dress linked before, opaque tights, black pointed toe low heeled boots, rose gold 2 row circle sparkly pendant and gold chunky twist hoop earrings (jewellery from new look)

Sooverthemill · 29/10/2021 08:36

It’s so warm! Weird weather
I imagine I won’t actually end up wearing the jumper so both photos
Jumper: Sézane
Jeans: hush
Tee: Sézane
Shoes: Russell and Bromley via eBay absolute bargain at 1/3 of retail price and worn only a few times!
Also, I now get free express shipping at Sézane ( As for Hush and Boden)which makes me happy but I obviously buy too much

@Sooverthemill - keep the boots. I think chunky boots are here to stay.

@Greyhairwarmheart - I absolutely love that dress on you. It’s not too short for work. Definitely a keeper IMO.

@Purplecatshopaholic - that outfit is just fabulous. I especially like the coat.

OublietteBravo · 29/10/2021 08:51

There is certainly a lot of weather out there today! I’m WFH and avoiding it. Actually quite looking forward to my morning commute being during daylight hours next week!

Knitted gilet: Karen Millen (DH thinks it looks like a life jacket)
Belt: Mint Velvet
Jeans: Hush (a perfect fit everywhere except the waist - I might have to get them altered)
Boots: Doc Martens

@AnnieSnap if I saw you in the airport I'd stop you and tell you how amazing you look (my kids would be embarrassed by me).I love looking at everyone's outfits.
@Sooverthemill the boots are definitely keepers.
This thread...I'm now trying to stop myself clicking on @OublietteBravo culotte link.I have Christmas presents to buy...must stop buying clothes!Sending my Solovair dealer boots back to exchange for 1/2 a size smaller.If they fit they are the perfect boots for me.Expensive but so well made and comfortable.Justifying the price tag as I will wear them forever.
Today at home doing not much:
Dress Asda bargain
Jumper M&S

Purplecatshopaholic · 29/10/2021 12:13

Loving your whole outfit today @OublietteBravo (although your DH needs a Hard Stare for his life jacket comment, lol). Great dress @Chrispackhamspoodle - must check out Asda for clothes - we have a massive store near us. I am WFH today and the weather here is foul, so comfy is the order of the day. Very old leggings, with a loose top from Marks, and jumper from Forgotten Tribes

@Sooverthemill I think the Boden ones are more contemporary and on trend. Love them!

Sooverthemill · 29/10/2021 13:09

Ooh ‘contemporary and on trend’ that’s me @EllaPaella!

bendmeoverbackwards · 29/10/2021 15:03

Mild but rainy here today. I’m wearing a skirt from Oasis (old but recently discovered new love), white vest top and grey cardi (Hush)

Chrispackhamspoodle · 29/10/2021 17:01

@Sooverthemill I second the Boden boots!

Chrispackhamspoodle · 29/10/2021 17:05

@Purplecatshopaholic I own 3 dresses and 1 shirt from Asda which were all bought in one lockdown online shop.I love all 4 of them but haven't found a single thing in there since so I think I was just lucky that day.

Chrispackhamspoodle · 29/10/2021 17:07

@bendmeoverbackwards I like your skirt.I miss Oasis.

AnnieSnap · 29/10/2021 19:07

bendmeoverbackwards · 29/10/2021 19:49
