@Sooverthemill it can be annoying at times! Love having a dog but the fur seems to get everywhere!

toastfiend · 25/11/2021 22:54

Thanks so much for your inputs everyone! Grin I missed a few of the replies before I left so I actually ended up going for the Toast jumpsuit. I'm glad I did as @Softpebbles was right, I would have been boiling in the jumper and skirt, the venue was very warm!

I was going to go with the Cos dress but I'm still not sure about it side on so may send it back after all. It's a shame as I love the way it looks from the front but I think it makes me look big from the side.

So, outfit today:

Jumpsuit - Toast
Shirt - Reiss
Boots - Fairfax & Favor

Worn with a Gucci coat that's another cast-off from my lovely DM's wardrobe. I know for a fact that it's definitely older than me, but I love it.

That jumpsuit looks amazing on you @sickoffamilydrama, I LOVE it! 🤩

Haha, @OublietteBravo I went back to look at the photo and you're right, I look a bit like Humpty Dumpty! 😂 😂 Terrible angle! 😂 I really like your culottes.

@AnnieSnap fab outfit!

Hi @EssexLioness - always great to see new faces/outfits on the thread! Smile

Chrispackhamspoodle · 26/11/2021 06:49

@Sickoffamilydrama do you have a link to your jumpsuit?It looks great.
@toastfiend I really love your mustard outfit-good choice.If you are not 100% sure on the Cos dress send it back as you will never feel completely happy with it.
@EssexLioness welcome!No capsule wardrobe here and I tend to keep things.They seem to come around again.I love clothes and tend to buy what I see and live rather than planning Means I have a lack of basics though.

Sooverthemill · 26/11/2021 08:30

Ah well at least the storm means I can get a decent photo! Hoping nurse can get through our flooded roads to do DDs flu and covid booster jabs today

Jumper: Baukjen
Jeans: Levi 501s via eBay
Trainers: jigsaw ( old, 2018?)
Tee under:2

Fingers crossed that you DD gets her boosters as planned despite the weather @Sooverthemill.

It’s miserable here today - dark and raining. I have the annual Boards of Appeal conference today. Still via zoom - I miss travelling to Munich for it. I have decided that it’s close enough to Christmas to start wearing what I consider to be festive clothes.

Jumper: Jigsaw
Skirt: White Stuff
Boots: Doc Martens

Thanks for all the welcomes. @toastfiend I love that jumpsuit on you. I have to pop out for errands shortly but the weather is foul here so chose warmth and comfort above everything else. Will post pic later

Chrispackhamspoodle · 26/11/2021 09:00

@Sooverthemill I love a navy breton stripe top with jeans .Hope your DD can be seen today.

@EllaPaella I ordered a knitted dress yesterday from Boden which will almost certainly be a fail! Trying not to buy anything else before Christmas

20FlowerPower · 26/11/2021 10:52

Just popping in to say ... SNOW!! We have SNOW!!!

I'm another one that's been struck down with a non-covid-but-still-bloody-awful cold this week. Even had to phone in sick one day!! So I've been in either PJs or joggers all week. Might actually put some proper clothes on today though (still in PJs at the moment).

So many lovely outfits this week - @toastfiend that mustard jumpsuit is brilliant, I really love it on you.

Softpebbles · 26/11/2021 10:56

@EllaPaella I prefer the boots you own to be honest.

I haven't bought anything, I am still in joggers and leggings territory at the moment. I may have a look later although I really do not need anything.

@toastfiend you looked lovely. I hope you had a nice time out there with real people!

@Sooverthemill I hope the nurses can get through to your DD.

It is bright sunshine here but sounds windy. I obvioulsy havent left the house.

Sooverthemill · 26/11/2021 11:04

@Softpebbles thank you but they've cancelled! They have rescheduled for Tuesday. Probably sensible

MrsKarenBracey · 26/11/2021 11:05

how does one upload images?

Sooverthemill · 26/11/2021 11:24

@MrsKarenBracey

how does one upload images?
When you start to write a spot you get a 'choose file' box which you click on and upload from your phone etc

Back from errands so changed back into loungewear now.

Chelsea boots and bag: Wills Shoes
Navy trenchcoat: M&S

Just realised the bag isn’t in the photo! Also forgot to mention the scarf is from Fatface. I am wearing it with everything atm, even though I have a huge amount of scarves. I adore the print and colour but it is also ridiculously soft and cosy so perfect for the chillier weather

PalacePaper · 26/11/2021 16:32

Went out for festive afternoon tea at a spa hotel today, it was amazing. I'm starting to feel Christmassy🎄 (and very full of cake!)

I'm not planning to buy any clothes for Black Friday (I did get some Bobbi Brown eyeshadow sticks which arrived today and are very nice), but might have a look round our local charity shops tomorrow.

Jumper (and thermal layer under) - M&S
Skirt - Warehouse
Boots - Clark's

I also added a couple of silver necklaces for a layered look as I thought the top looked a bit plain.

@EllaPaella I'm trying not to look at the deals.Went into M&S for some chocolate covered brazil nuts yesterday and came out with a dress.
@EssexLioness I tend to wear straight or wide legged jeans at the moment.I'm mainly wearing 2nd hand Levi 501s ,M&S straight and wide legged or Hush boyfriend jeans.The M&S ones are both lovely.

EssexLioness · 26/11/2021 17:44

@PalacePaper love your outfit. Where are your necklaces from please? Festive afternoon tea sounds lovely!

@Chrispackhamspoodle thank you, not tried M&S for jeans so will have a look

PalacePaper · 26/11/2021 20:02

Thank you @EssexLioness - the horseshoe shaped one is from a little local shop, and the hexagons one was a birthday present a couple of years ago from Rachel Jackson

EssexLioness · 26/11/2021 20:51

Thank you @PalacePaper, I’ve been looking for a hexagon necklace for ages but not quite found ‘the one’. Think I will order this in the silver
