Happy Christmas all.Forgot to take a photo yesterday.Dressing for comfort today with a stretchy waistband due to enormous quantities of champagne truffles.
Head to toe M&S.Jumper purchased after seeing @toastfiend in hers and the joggers someone else was wearing on here.Wore a black top,pleather skirt and sparkly earrings yesterday.I said in my previous post I was going to be more careful spending money on clothes but I've changed my mind.I love buying clothes and putting outfits together.It makes me happy.So I'm going to carry on but maybe try and not wear head to toe M&S everyday Smile

Love the jumper @Chrispackhamspoodle
@Sickoffamilydrama that T shirt is so cool! I would love that to wear with my sequin skirt, is it recent?

EllaPaella · 26/12/2021 20:16

Lovely sequin dress @20FlowerPower and @PalacePaper I see you are also living in your Eribe Westray jumper - I've barely worn anything else.

Sickofpineneedles · 26/12/2021 22:47

Yes @EllaPaella it's recent and only £5 it was a present from the kids we walked past it in the shop and I said I liked it.

toastfiend · 27/12/2021 09:03

Hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas?

Poor DS started getting his first chickenpox spots on Christmas Eve. He's been stoical about them and we've still had a lovely few days, but at night they get so itchy and he's so distressed by them, it's horrible, bless him.

Christmas Day -
Sequin tasseled skirt - Maeve, Anthropologie
Jumper- Topshop
Platform brogues - Zara

Boxing Day
Trousers - Cos (I've discovered a love for Cos recently, bought a few new bits, these trousers among them, and they're just cut so nicely!)
Belt - Fairfax & Favor
Shoes - Zara again
Jumper - M&S
Sparkly headband (which I'm obsessed with!) - from my best friend's shop

Hope you've all been able to celebrate, I'm going to go and catch up on the thread now!

Love your Christmas Day outfit @Sickofpineneedles, the bodysuit and the jeans look great together, and aren't the M&S joggers the comfiest things ever?!

@Sooverthemill your new necklace is absolutely beautiful. So pleased you all had a lovely day and were able to eat with your DD. Sorry to hear about your Vit D levels, though, hope they're sorted quickly.

Love yesterday's dungarees @OublietteBravo.

Ah yay, you got the jumper @Chrispackhamspoodle! Grin I love it, I've worn it so much, it's so bright and happy. Smile

Great to see you back @itssquidstella and many congratulations! Love your sparkly Oliver Bonas shirt.

Loved your orange dress and your Christmas Day outfit @AnnieSnap, you look lovely in them both.

Your sequin skirt is great @20FlowerPower.

Love your black skirt @PalacePaper, it's very elegant. Smile

EllaPaella · 27/12/2021 12:09

@Sickofpineneedles name change? Very Christmassy 😁
@toastfiend I have had my eye on that M&S sweater, might be tempted. You look lovely 😊

I fell off the thread, had such a horrific reaction to the methotrexate and have lost 15lb in 3 weeks. Need a whole new wardrobe!
Congratulations on your bump @itssquidstella, hope your dd is ok @Sooverthemill, @toastfiend I'm insanely jealous of your ability to always look so good!
Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas

@Justonedayatatime11 I'm sorry you've been so unwell. I hope you begun to feel a little better soon. X

PalacePaper · 27/12/2021 20:11

Sorry to hear that @Justonedayatatime11 Thanks

@EllaPaella wearing my eribe jumper makes me so happy! As it's not too Christmassy I'm looking forward to wearing it all winter.

@OublietteBravo I really like your jumper.

Comfy today:
Harems - Hush
Jumper - Boden (realised it needed de-bobbling and had a very satisfying 10 minutes with my fabric comb Grin)

Softpebbles · 27/12/2021 20:52

@toastfiend you look absolutely fabulous in your Christmas and Boxing Day outfits. Sorry about DS and chicken pox.

@Justonedayatatime11 that sounds awful. I’ve whacked weight on due to such low levels of activity. 🤦‍♀️

Lovely outfits.

Sooverthemill · 28/12/2021 09:17

Yet another nothing day, 2 BH seems excessive! Will be trying to catch up on my reading today
Blouse: buy
Dungarees: Boden
Shoes: R&B ( trainers just feel too heavy at the moment)

Sooverthemill · 28/12/2021 09:52

Blouse is hush! Wtf?

toastfiend · 28/12/2021 13:31

Ah thanks so much everyone! Smile I love getting dressed up at Christmas, even if most of it was spent applying liberal amounts of Poxclin to poor DS. He's really perked up today and we managed a full night's sleep so I'm really hopeful he's on the mend!

@Justonedayatatime11 thats extremely kind, thank you! Can assure you it's definitely not the case, though, I just tend to post the days when I look at least vaguely put together. 🤣 I'm so sorry to hear that you've been so unwell. How are you feeling now?

@EllaPaella definitely go for it if you've been eyeing up the jumper, I've worn it absolutely loads since I bought it, it's so easy just to throw on and very comfy!

@Sooverthemill I love today's dungaree and shirt combo, you look great!

We travelled home from my parents' last night (spent Christmas with them despite the chickenpox as all the family have had it and everyone was happy to go ahead, my DM used to be a nurse, too, so it was nice to have her input as poor DS has been absolutely covered and so distressed some nights, so the support has been really helpful as I'm inclined to be anxious about all things DS related).

Yesterday -
Leggings - Yu + Me
Jumper - M&S
Boots - DMs
Bag - M&S, a Christmas pressie from DH
Headband - another from my best friend's shop.

Today we're having a very quiet day enjoying being back at home and back to a bit more of a routine. I'm trying to get some work done today, so snuggled up in my new lounge wear from M&S, a Christmas pressie from my parents, and Oonaie slippers, a pressie from my best friend. Btih are very soft and very warm and the hoodie and joggers black have little flecks of colour in them, which makes them a bit more interesting than just being plain black.

I took some bits back to Cos yesterday and tried on this long puffer coat and now I'm really lusting after it. I've been wanting a longline puffer for a while and this one fits the bill - double zip so I can move my legs, zip rather than poppers, nice colour (it's quite green in real life), not too puffy so I don't feel like the Michelin Man. I love it but its quite spendy (although I've found a 10% off code that works) so now trying to decide whether I can justify it or not. Felt genuinely sad when I left it behind in the shop yesterday, though...

Today an old Sezane top with M&S jeans and Allsaints biker. Not up to much other than going to the cinema with DH and all 3 boys to see the new Spiderman movie.

Love the coat @toastfiend - I have almost exactly the same but mine is Jack Wolfskin crystal palace coat, almost same colour as that one. Hope your DS makes a speedy recovery.
