@MargotLB thanks, yes they are regular length and I am 5'7

MargotLB · 05/02/2022 13:37

Thanks @EllaPaella, I think the length really makes them. They would probably be too long on me in regular then, maybe the petite might be worth a try.

toastfiend · 05/02/2022 13:48

Oops, I fell off the thread again. 🤦‍♀️

Glad you're feeling better @EllaPaella, love your new jeans!

@Shannith, if it's not too much hassle would it be OK if I hopped on the charity shop bandwagon, too, as you always have such amazing finds and I love your taste! I'm a size 12 and very happy to send the money whilst you're in the shop, but also totally understand if you've got enough people to be shopping for at this stage! 🤣

@MargotLB I've not heard of Grace & Mila before but I love your clothes from there and now I've fallen down a rabbit hole of wanting all kinds of things on their website!

Hope you're having a good time away @WestrayWife, those are some extravagant bathrooms!

I really like these leggings @purplecatshopaholic!

Been quite a busy week for me, work has been manic and it was DS' birthday last weekend and he's a dinosaur fiend so we took him to the Natural History Museum, which was great. My best friend's birthday today so I went out with her last night (we played mini golf, I was absolutely shocking at it but it was loads of fun) so I've been to London twice in a week, which is a big deal for my country bumpkin self! Have found that it's an absolute bargain with my new railcard, though, so I foresee more London trips in my future!

DS' birthday trip:

Jeans - All Saints
Top - M&S
Blazer - InWear
Boots - Cos
Bag - M&S

Random outfit from some stage over the last week:

Jeans - Topshop
Top - Primark
Cardigan - Primark
Belt - Lucy & Yak
Boots - DMs
Necklaces - ASOS and Tatty Devine
Headband - my friend sells them

Yesterday -
Faux leather skirt - M&S
Top - Hush
Blazer - InWear
Necklaces - as before
Boots - DMs

I seem to be wearing this blazer or this cardigan a huge amount lately. They're just really easy to throw on and make me feel a bit more pulled together even if the outfit underneath is scruffy.

@EllaPaella I have the same jeans but they look so much better on you! I do love them. But another m&s pair I had, a straight-leg one, wore through in the crotch after less than a year - I wore them maybe 20 times. Really unimpressed. I've ordered some Sainsbury's jeans now as I've heard good things about them

@OublietteBravo I love that green Fold number. Lovely!

I have no full length mirror. Tragic

EllaPaella · 05/02/2022 14:17

Actually @Shannith I'm really sorry, just saw it's an 8 and not a 10. 8 in Whistles will definitely be too small for me.

Shannith · 05/02/2022 14:32

Right I'm on my way back @EllaPaella I think I found d you a grey blazer - I'll take a photo

Sickoffamilydrama · 05/02/2022 14:57

Thanks all don't let sizing worry me normally but it did make me feel rubbish!

An exciting day of tidying and more time with DS who is driving me potty as DH away.

Loving all the charity shop chat. What great finds.

Levi 311, Docs and m and s jumper.

I am struggling to deviate from skinny jeans! I have some nice barrel leg jeans from Zara.

@toastfiend your DS’ birthday sounds amazing! My DC is just growing out of their dinosaur phase at age 6 and I’m a little sad 😢 I reckon he’d still still be pretty excited to see some real-life dinosaur skeletons though if we ever go. 🦕

Feeling a bit ‘meh’ about clothes the last few days. Hoping to be re-inspired with an M&S order 🤞

Jumper - Matalan
Skirt - New Look

Sorry I dropped off the thread after having an accident and have been busy trying to mend myself! I have also name changed. @Shannith I think we live near each other. Are you shopping in EG? Lovely outfits everyone. I have nothing to post as been in uniform all week! Will you my game and join in next week

Twateralflow · 06/02/2022 08:23

@WestrayWife love that dress!

Sooverthemill · 06/02/2022 08:56

It’s so wet! Torrential. So I have my platform loafers so as to hopefully not get wet when I get food & laundry from the garage later.
Stay dry people!

Tee: hush 2017
Jeans: Levi
Shoes: R&B

@WestrayWife fab dress and I hope you are really enjoying your break away. What bliss that would be!

OublietteBravo · 06/02/2022 10:19

That’s a beautiful dress @WestrayWife.

I really like the shape of those jeans on you @Sooverthemill. The cut of the T-shirt balances them beautifully. The rain woke me up earlier, but it seems to have blown through. We currently have a mixture of sun and clouds.

I’m wearing one of my favourite jumpsuits. (It might actually be my favourite).

Top: M&S
Jumpsuit: Whistles
Boots: Doc Martens

MargotLB · 06/02/2022 10:53

Morning everyone!
@EllaPaella

@OublietteBravo your jumpsuit is lovely, I’m a fan too, I have some from Great Plains and Mint Velvet- they are so versatile and be dressed up or down.

Wearing my new M&S jumper today, it’s quite cosy and I think I’ll get quite a bit of wear out of it through the next few months - it will go with jeans, trousers and I think would look nice with a faux leather jogger too.

Jumper - M&S
Jeans - Mint Velvet
Trainers - Carmela

@WestrayWife that hotel you stayed in looks gorgeous, I’ve loved seeing your weekend wardrobe - you have some lovely dresses and I love all the colours in your Barbour dress.

WestrayWife · 06/02/2022 12:35

It has been a truly wonderful break away from both DC and reality generally Smile We even woke up to a covering of snow this morning! Last day today....which means last ridiculous toilet selfie

Top - & Other Stories
Jeans - M&S Sienna
Trainers - Veja

@MargotLB I have that M&S jumper in the navy blue but I think I'm going to swap it to the cream, it's lovely

Loving the sub-threads on here just now. Another Day Another Posh Bathroom with @WestrayWife, and Awesome Charity Shop Finds with @Shannith. I was all ready to go into town: The Smiths tee with Ganni leather shorts and EMP boots. Put on a leather jacket from Michael Kors and a very old hoodie, with my trusty mahoosive Vivienne Westwood shopper. Then the wind and rain got torrential and we CBA going! So got that lot off and chucked some leggings back on, to veg on the sofa!

Hello I've not forgotten my charity purchases - I returned to a planned but forgotten (by my) pre teen girls sleepover so I've been trying to maintain peace and harmony and the non destruction of my house. I'm not being entirely successful.
