Noo just looked up their sizing again they do do my size but it's sold out!!

AnnieSnap · 09/01/2022 21:40

Thank you 😀

Looking good there @EllaPaella loving the Nordic socks 🙂

@toastfiend you always look so chic. I especially love your DMs (I wish they were softer), mustard coat and that fab animal print skirt.

EllaPaella · 09/01/2022 21:52

@AnnieSnap @toastfiend has the Aimilita's (DM's) as do I and they are super soft leather, not like traditional DM's at all.

@toastfiend you are totally rocking the electronica vibe by the way. I love those boots - I'm not sure I would be brave enough but they look really cool on you.

AnnieSnap · 09/01/2022 22:13

Really @EllaPaella I’m off to look at the Aimilitas

AnnieSnap · 09/01/2022 22:16

It like these. I’d love to find them somewhere local though, so I can try before buying.

Helllo everyone Smile. Thanks for a shiny new 2022 thread @EllaPaella. Loving your outfits @toastfiend. And your jammies @WestrayWife and @itssquidstella. Out with PurplecatDog earlier - golly it’s cold! Forbidden Tribes dress and boots from EMP.

Looking great @toastfiend. What’s the sizing like for Cos? Is it as random as H&M (IIRC they belong to the same parent company)?

toastfiend · 09/01/2022 23:38

Ah, thank you so much everyone! Grin

There are some amazing pyjamas on this thread. I'm getting pj envy and am trying to resist temptation to treat myself to some new pyjamas now...

@Sickoffamilydrama I usually wear a 5 and have these in a 5, they fit, but there's plenty of room so if you're on the cusp of a 7.5 you might get away with the 7 if they have that in stock? Smile If not then Raid London have similar, but not in lilac that I saw, and Zara have some clumpy lace up boots in a lilac colour in their sale (I shopped around a bit before committing to these!)

@AnnieSnap that's so kind of you, thank you! As @EllaPaella says, the Aimilitas are much softer leather and don't need any breaking in at all. Mine are the comfiest boots I own and I've walked miles in them from day 1. With the originals, I tend to buy second hand in the hope someone else has done the breaking in for me, and they're super comfy once broken in. Smile I know Schuh stock DMs, not sure if they have the Aimilitas, but might be worth popping in if you have a store near you and wanted to try them. Smile

@OublietteBravo thank you! Smile They are part of the H&M Group, I think, yes. The sizing is very random! They come up big, IME, a small is a 10-12, for example, whereas I wear medium everywhere else but a medium is big on me there, and I need an XS in some of their oversized things. I'm a 10-12, more of a 12, but tend to buy a 10 in Cos. I do think their clothes fit beautifully when you find the right size, though. I've had very little from there that I've sent back, even when buying online.

@EllaPaella thank you! Grin I do love them so I'm going to wear them on the nursery run (about the most exciting place I go every day...) with pride!

ChimpyChops · 09/01/2022 23:52

I think I've found a favourite new thread. I shall read from a distance as I wear nothing nice 🤣

teacreature · 10/01/2022 00:03

My favourite thread since being on here Grin

Sooverthemill · 10/01/2022 08:37

I’ve been comparing outfits for this date over last 3 years. It’s really interesting! This is a great discipline for me.
I bought something yesterday from Sézane’s new drop ( a shirt) but I sold a Sézane item I impulse bought last summer that I’ve never worn ( a jacket, I don’t go out!) for the same price so I feel that was good!
It’s really cold and frosty here
Jumper: navy grey
Jeans: Boden

Just giving a 👋 to the new posters and lurkers. It's so nice that so many people enjoy this thread.
@Sooverthemill I love that jumper.
I will post later, I have some cropped faux leather trousers coming today or tomorrow after recommending the look to soover I decided I wanted some too.
Happy Monday everyone 😊

EllaPaella · 10/01/2022 09:16

Also meant to agree with toasti that Cos come up big @OublietteBravo - a 10 would definitely be a small

OP posts:
AnnieSnap · 10/01/2022 10:23

I love these threads @EllaPaella Happy and friendly. What’s not to like? 🙂

Those black jeans look good @Sooverthemill. Boden tend to do good jeans. I have been looking for some nice black ones. What style are they?

Sooverthemill · 10/01/2022 10:35

@AnnieSnap they are the girlfriend from last year. Identical to the relaxed slim ( which I ordered at same time) so far as I can tell. Mid waist

AnnieSnap · 10/01/2022 10:42

Ahh yes @Soovermill I have them in light blue with the button fly (I love a button fly). I really like the shape, but find them a bit big. Have you found that?

toastfiend · 10/01/2022 10:53

Hi to all the new posters and lurkers. Come and join us! Smile

I agree with @AnnieSnap, it's a lovely, friendly corner of the Internet and brings me lots of enjoyment as I love fashion and talking about clothes with like-minded people! Smile

Today I'm bit boringly but very warmly dressed -
Faux leather leggings - Yu + Me
Fleece shirt - Hush, sale bargain
Glittery trainers - M&S
Headband - my best friend makes and sells them

Hi everyone, happy Monday 

Everyone looking lovely as always Smile

I've had a delivery of 2 new jumpers from the Me+Em sale (inspired to look there by @WestrayWife ) They are lovely quality, and as I'm now permanently working from home I need a couple more warm jumpers.

I would never usually wear the camel colour, but I think I like it. And I really like the fit. I love the navy one but the arms are so big and chunky! I wonder if this is why it's in the sale. Overall I don't think it's as flattering on me it's going back Sad The camel is also available in black but not in the sale, so very pricey. They are gorgeous quality though.

@EllaPaella

I love your jeans - are they current M&S?

EllaPaella · 10/01/2022 13:49

Hi @MrsMaudwatts yes they are current, the high waist straight leg jeans.

@AnnieSnap

Ahh yes *@Soovermill* I have them in light blue with the button fly (I love a button fly). I really like the shape, but find them a bit big. Have you found that?
Interesting. These were the original ones I preordered them about 3 months before they were released. I liked them so much that when the other colours came out I ordered the button fly pale blue wash like you have and they were utterly and absolutely a different style, cut, shape! Went straight back!
Sooverthemill · 10/01/2022 14:09

@AnnieSnap and I'm with you on a button fly! I only have a few zip fly jeans left and they feel so odd!

Hello! I’m back in the office for the first time since 16 December. It was a bit of a struggle getting up and driving to work in the dark, but I did get to see a very pretty sunrise once I was there. I’m a bit late posting. It took me all morning to get through my email, and then I was straight into meetings.

Blouse: M&S
Dress: Hobbs (via eBay)
Boots: Doc Martens
