That sounds a good idea @Softpebbles thanks do you mean like a walking type woolen sock?

Plantsandpuddlesuits · 04/12/2021 18:48

Perfect thanks got loads of that type of thing as you can probably tell by my username and quite outdoorsy!

I'm hoping to slim back into my skinny black jeans (put on 3 stone in lockdown 😱) so could do the same with the socks and boots with those aswell

Justonedayatatime11 · 04/12/2021 19:03

@Softpebbles nice to know I'm not the only gluten and dairy intolerant person on here!

Softpebbles · 04/12/2021 19:14

@Justonedayatatime11 👋🏻

I think other people find it harder than I do. I suppose I am well adjusted to it. X

Hello! I'm a lurker who always has good intentions to post but never does! Plus I'm rubbish at taking pics and I always manage too look like I have no legs! @EllaPaella/@Sooverthemill will confirm & I'm a bit of an erm let's say 'avid' clothes buyer (it's Gin 😊)
Anyway I'm here to say thank you to @AnnieSnap as I saw you in that beautiful Boden coat and had to have it! But then they cancelled my order....... They found one in the end and I love it. So thanks for the inspo you looked amazing in it & you always look fabulous 👏👏👏

So I'm going to try and stop living in harems/sweatshirts and wear my wardrobe even though I'm now wfh full time. I will dress for me 😊

AnnieSnap · 04/12/2021 23:46

Hi there @HumourReplacementTherapy Thank you for your lovely comments 🙂 Did you buy the blue one too? They are messing with me now by introducing a lovely dark pink one. I can’t buy any more though unless it ends up heavily discounted in a future sale. I have spent so much over Black Friday that I’m harbouring some feeling of shame 😳

Definitely dress for you. I took my dogs to the vets on Tuesday and went to the dentist on Wednesday, both felt like rock and roll opportunities to get dressed-up (weird times we’re living in). I have the hairdressers next week, I’ll be pulling out all the stops 😂🤣

When you get dressed-up, please share a photo. I get my long suffering husband to take my, much easier than selfies!

Chrispackhamspoodle · 05/12/2021 08:11

Just read back the posts from the weekends.Lovely outfits.Going to check out the fur lined leggings.
Did some shopping as I'm away and bought some cropped denim dungarees from White Stuff.Tried on the navy cord ones which were also lovely but the cropped fit better.Will post when I wear them back at home.Also bought some new PJ'S from M&S which I would definitely photograph if I was at home ...they are so soft.

Sooverthemill · 05/12/2021 09:48

@HumourReplacementTherapy hello! Lovely to see you, gin

@Softpebbles @Justonedayatatime11 I’m gluten and lactose intolerant but also I’m pretty certain I’ve developed new intolerance to onion family and brassica family. And legumes ( peanuts, peas, pulses). I’m also allergic to almost all raw fruit and many vegetables. So is DD. As she often asks ‘why did you breed?’ I’m doing an elimination diet to be certain but the extra yoghurt was very unfair!

Still a bit wimpy so in soft stuff
Jumper: NRBY
Leggings: NRBY
slippers: UGG

@Sickoffamilydrama they are lovely tights but yes a bit knobbly in the toes (even more so after mending!)

In Pre-op isolation now for 3 days so I’m back in comfy casuals - will try and stay away from full-on pj’s though.

Bat jumper - Monki
Leggings- M&S via eBay (they’re actually sparkly but it’s hard to see in the pic)
Chenille socks - new look. I realised during the first wear they are totally impractical for anything other than wearing around the house as they come right off inside my shoes.

@AnnieSnap yy to dressing up for the vets, supermarket, hairdressers and any other minor trip out 😂

AnnieSnap · 05/12/2021 12:36

@CaterpillaNavilla have I missed why you’re having surgery, or would you rather not say?

OublietteBravo · 05/12/2021 12:45

I’m back to jeans and a jumper. Although I don’t default to this quite as often as I used to.

Jumper: Jigsaw
Jeans: M&S
Boots: Doc Martens

Yes the pink one is gorgeous. Don't feel guilty for your spends (I've had to put the Boden coat back in the box for now as I can't find any space to hang it! Blush) I will share some pics and aim to get out of the joggers!

Hello everyone!

I've been hopeless and fallen off the thread again. Mostly wearing joggers last week. I've discovered the M&S jogging bottoms and they're so soft and warm and comfy I've been living in them.

I'm flying the flag for M&S atm. I know people can be quite scathing about them, and, to be fair, they did go through a dodgy patch for a while, but I went in the other day and bought lots and could have bought lots more again if I wasn't meant to be shopping for Christmas presents for other people. I was really impressed. Still some rubbish, but loads of stuff that I really liked.

We went on a Father Christmas visit with DS today. He loved the train but was terrified of Father Christmas and spent the whole time crying and hiding his face in my coat, so not a raging success but never mind!

I'm getting into the festive spirit and drawn to all things sparkly ATM.

Jeans - M&S, they have a glitter stripe on the side, I'm not convinced it'll last a wash but they're comfy, well-fitting jeans anyway.
Jumper - also M&S
Boots - DMs

Everyone looks great as ever, I need to catch up on the thread properly now!

Hope everyone has had a good day? Drove DD 15miles for her Covid vaccination only to be told that because she has had Covid in the last 12 weeks they can't vaccinate her!

@AnnieSnap I don’t mind saying. - I’m having my gallbladder removed. I’m actually looking forward to it as I’ve permanent bellyache and haven’t been able to eat anything very fatty for over a year.

@toastfiend M&S get so slated but they’re fab! One of the more sustainable shops too.

@Sickoffamilydrama sorry to hear about your wasted journey - gorgeous earrings though.

This is a terrible photo....but I wore my recent drunk purchase dress to a girly Christmas afternoon with friends today.

Still a bit under the weather but DH has busy day at work so I’m dressed and trying to make myself feel okay!
Poor DD has struggled with DH doing the caring I need to be extra nice to her today.
Also, I’ve been rewatching the crown from the beginning while lying on the sofa and I want all Princess Margaret’s wardrobe!
Shirt: NRBY
jeans: agolde ( very comfy thank goodness)

I agree with you regarding M&S @toastfiend. I’ve bought quite a bit from them in the past few months. It does feel like they’ve found their groove a bit (and their delivery has become quicker and more reliable).

I’m in the first thing that came to hand today (because DS needed to get to school and I didn’t have any time to really think about an outfit). The jumper is subtly sparkly.

Jumper: Hush
Jeans: M&S
Boots: Celtic & Co

Bracing ourselves for Storm Barra...dread to think what damage it might do on the already vulnerable areas after Storm Arwen last week.

Christmas Jumper : Tommy Hilfiger Girls - bought about 10 years ago in Macy's New York. Two kids later and it's a bit tight / small but I don't really care because to me it is the epitome of the Christmas season.
Jeans : M&S Sienna
Vest Top : M&S
