Love the dress @20FlowerPower, really suits you

Shannith · 29/11/2021 12:12

@20FlowerPower an excellent drink purchase. Drunk you has good taste. I drunk bought a table once 

@Justonedayatatime11 hope the rest of the day is comfy at least - I absolutely love those boots. I'm wearing furry campers today and fur lined boots are the way ahead.

at not for a beginner @Sooverthemill An amazing expert more like. It's lovely and you are super talented.

@Sickoffamilydrama we have snap belts. Mines very old banana republic from when I used to wear suits everyday and wanted to jazz them up.

PalacePaper · 29/11/2021 13:00

@Sooverthemill what an amazing jumper! Sometime I'm going to try and crochet a jumper, I've never got the hang of knitting.

@20FlowerPower hang in there! And I love the drunken dress, looks gorgeous on you.

@Justonedayatatime11 hope today goes well

Cold cold cold here, so I'm basically wearing daytime pyjamas. I decided it was time for some sparkle!

Harems - hush
Sweatshirt - next

Oops, saw some lovely boots on here (@EllaPaella, I think I am going to blame you!) and succumbed in a weak moment - but they are so lovely and sooo comfy.
Boots from Mint Velvet, with joggers from Me and Em, and another old faithful Forgotten Tribes jumper. PurplecatDog is yawning not voicing his dislike of the outfit, lol

I love the dress @20FlowerPower. It’s a great drunk buy!

I’ve managed to avoid all the Black Friday/cyber Monday deals. Although I do keep buying bits from eBay (I’m selling stuff too - I’ve made more than I’ve spent).

Today was absolutely freezing. Although I did get to work in time to see a very pretty winter sunrise.

Jumper dress: Jigsaw
Leggings: Primark
Boots: Celtic & Co

I've ended up buying lots. 2 sofas today! Amazingly DH and I agreed on style and colour. Hope they are comfy, hard not being able to try them.

EllaPaella · 29/11/2021 20:45

Where you work looks very grand @OublietteBravo - do you work at Downton Abbey? GrinWink

@20FlowerPower absolutely love that dress - it’s gorgeous and looks fab on you

CaterpillaNavilla · 30/11/2021 10:46

@Sooverthemill your hand-knitted jumper is stunning - what a great skill to have. I crochet but have never mastered jumpers - the sleeves never fit in the sleeve holes, but I’m too impatient to do a tension square before starting so thats probably why 🤷‍♀️Grin

CaterpillaNavilla · 30/11/2021 10:48

@EllaPaella absolute game-changer - it’s bought back so many tired old jumpers. Not sure if use it on anything delicate though - I debobbled an eBay jumper once and it fell apart - think the bobbles were holding it together Blush

CaterpillaNavilla · 30/11/2021 10:51

WFH on a cold, wet day so today’s outfit is all about comfort…

Trousers - Lucy&Yak
Jumper - Matalan

Must find a better spot for my mirror

Sooverthemill · 30/11/2021 11:26

@CaterpillaNavilla thank you! I've knitted for ever and I still feel amazed when I knit something that really works. I'm trying to understand what it is that I don't like about then knits I make that I don't wear. Definitely do a tension swatch it's a game changer! I always need to change needle sizes. Have you seen this new book? It makes me want to relearn crochet which I used to be ace at but haven't done since I left school

CaterpillaNavilla · 30/11/2021 13:26

Ooh thanks @Sooverthemill I haven’t seen that - Ravelry is usually my go to but some of the patterns can be a bit hit and miss. Hope you’re feeling ok after the booster

AnnieSnap · 30/11/2021 13:42

@Sooverthemill it’s a sad state of affairs when a medical appointment is what allows us to wear our new, loved purchase isn’t it? I take my dogs to the Vet later - an exciting fashion opportunity LOL! I agree about your lovely jumper. I used to knit a bit, but when I tried again in lockdown, I found it aggravated the arthritis (relatively mild usually) in my fingers. Not sure how so many very old women manage it!

Sooverthemill · 30/11/2021 15:11

Thank you @AnnieSnap. I have arthritis too and find that if I do finger and wrist exercises before and after a knitting session I'm usually okay. Also circular needles are less aggravating on the wrists. I'm constantly feeling my age!

@CaterpillaNavilla I also recommend the shop I linked too. I do their knitalongs and they are fab to learn new things and get support. Ravelry too I'm in a few groups

Chrispackhamspoodle · 30/11/2021 15:21

Working today.Dressed all in M&S.Sat in my car now doing a quick school pick up before getting back to work.

I think this might be one of my favourite dresses. Especially as it has 6 functional pockets.

Base layer: Boden
Dress: Whistles
Boots: Doc Martens

AnnieSnap · 30/11/2021 17:57

@Sooverthemill I have never used circular needles. Is it difficult? I have beautiful soft needles in so many sizes. Maybe I’ll try again.

@Chrispackhamspoodle You always look fabulous. I love the suit. Are you a Poodle fan by the way? I have two (they often photobomb)!

So today, for the exciting trip to the vets (I’m so rock and rock). I wore this outfit. I see from the photos that the mustard coloured tights were a poor choice 😳
Dress - Boden
Jumper - Other Stories
Tights - Better Tights (so similar to Snag they could be the same company. They often have colours that shag don’t have)
Boots - Clarks
