@20FlowerPower love, love, love that pussy bow blouse it really suits you.

@toastfiend that dress is fab but if you’re entirely comfortable in it will it put you off wearing it?

I am in leggings again - really need to invest in some smarter looking trousers but with the comfort of an elastic waistband!

I braved a houndstooth/Tweedy type jumpsuit today. My son calls it my detective suit. I'm not sure if I can carry it off really but I brazened it out. Worn with block heel Whistles boots.

@toastfiend that Cos dress is beautiful and you look amazing in it -it does not make you look broad in any way. I see what you mean about the lack of sides though.The low back is gorgeous but is almost a bit too bare at the sides.I think it would look great with something underneath but that's probably not what you want.Having said that you look beautiful in it.

Chrispackhamspoodle · 20/11/2021 07:50

@MrsIPFreely that jumpsuit looks great.

Greyhairwarmheart · 20/11/2021 08:00

Hope all went well with your test @Justonedayatatime11. Love that dress @toastfiend and the blouses @OublietteBravo and @20FlowerPower. Thursday dress boden, yesterday cardigan sparrow, trousers John Lewis.

Yes @toastfiend fab dress
@MrsIPFreely that's a great jumpsuit
@Greyhairwarmheart pretty cardigan

OublietteBravo · 20/11/2021 10:27

I love that skirt @EllaPaella. I haven’t been to Sainsbury’s for ages - maybe I should pop in and have a browse. Although I’m actually trying to stop buying new clothes (even though I have about 7 items in my M&S basket, and I’m watching lots of things on eBay). I am at least being reasonably successful at only spending money I’ve made by selling things I no longer wear. I guess that’s a start!

Velvet jacket: Hobbs
Top: Primark
Belt: Mint Velvet
Jeans: Hush
Boots: Doc Martens

Hi!!! Oh my god love this thread!! I need some new clothes and it's giving me inspiration! Thank you!!! Can I stick around? My winter wardrobe is pending!!!

EllaPaella · 20/11/2021 12:10

Welcome @ivfbabymomma1 - please do stick around, we are a friendly bunch

ivfbabymomma1 · 20/11/2021 12:16

@EllaPaella thank you!!! I'm still stuck in my summer outfits 😂
What's everyone's face shops? I probably get most of my stuff from Zara, river island or ASOS!

ivfbabymomma1 · 20/11/2021 12:20

This is my outfit today! I think I might swap my trainers for Doc Martens! I need a dark jacket so it looks less summery!

EllaPaella · 20/11/2021 12:22

@ivfbabymomma1 I shop all over the place really. Recently I seem to have bought quite a lot from M&S who have surprisingly had some nice stuff in of late.
I used to buy a lot from Hush but have gone off them a bit over the last year or so, love their jeans but find that a lot of the stuff is overpriced and not great quality.
I would love to buy more from Sezane but it's very expensive.
I am literally coveting everything in Me & Em at the moment but it is eye wateringly expensive but oh my, some of the blouses and trousers are to die for.
I don't really have any 'go to' shops. I have a lovely little boutique locally which sells a lot of the Ichi label which I absolutely love as well.

Couple of outfits from me.

Yesterday - dress, mint velvet; belt, John Lewis. Went out for the day with DM for an exhibition and lunch, and a mooch round John Lewis Smile We had a lovely day.

Today - top, charity shop; jeans, M&S. I love this top, it's just a jersey top but so nicely made. Much better quality than most of what's available new now. Off out for a walk and maybe out for pizza after so will add black DMs and leather jacket.

Sorry to hear about MIL @Sooverthemill Thanks

Love that jumper @EllaPaella. I prefer warmer weather but if it does have to cool down at least I get to get out the boots and jumpers! Trying to get in gear and off the sofa just now though.. grey top from EMP with New Order tee and old leggings! For once PurplecatDog has not photobombed me but is snoozing beside me!

Softpebbles · 20/11/2021 14:02

Upgraded out of PJs today!

Joggers - next
Jumper - gap

Tried my m and s order on and keeping the jumper and the dress.

Sooverthemill · 20/11/2021 14:27

Thank you all. I am 'blessed' with two MIL and sadly this is the really lovely kind one who has always been a rock for me. The other is just incredibly formal and trickier to navigate ( for me as a council house girl). Sadly she is about to go into a NH for dementia. Life isn't being kind at the moment

shinynewapple21 · 20/11/2021 15:31

Love the black skirt with the stars on @EllaPaella

Sickoffamilydrama · 20/11/2021 18:17

Sorry to hear about you MIL @Sooverthemill

Got back from Paris at 10 last night, it was good to interact with potential customers and we've got some good leads but it's tiring. Hence today's outfit 😂

Hoodie & T shirt Vegan Outfitters
Jeans Next

Like many, I’m a lurker who loves this thread. I love seeing what everyone is wearing and getting ideas (though I’m no fashionista!). Can I ask @toastfiend is your lovely red check boden coat a recent purchase? It’s fab!

TheChosenTwo · 20/11/2021 18:43

Today i wore jogging bottoms and a sweatshirt. No bra.
What a look Grin
No photos, I looked a fucking state!

20FlowerPower · 20/11/2021 18:45

Photo taken before DH asked if I was taking the car or the motorcycle to the shops....so the boots quickly got ditched in favour of some slip on trainers instead Grin In my defence, it is freezing here today and those boots are fleece lined and super cosy...even if they do make me look like a biker when paired with the fake leather joggers.

Cardi : Hush - one of my best buys this A/W
Top : M&S BodySensor
Fake Leather Joggers : Sainsbury's (so cosy)
Boots : Oliver Bonas

Love that Toast jumper @EllaPaella, and the flared jeans @Sickoffamilydrama. So good that shops are finally selling more than just skinnies which I feel like an overstuffed sausage in

Proper clothes today instead of leggings. Working with customers this morning rather than just slumming it in the office out of sight.

Skirt- Monki
Jumper - Tesco
