Going to lie on the sofa and catch up on all the posts.First some photos.Bought a black jumpsuit from Coast off ebay for £13.I love it and will wear it out tomorrow pm with trainers.WFH today as DD ill.
Wide legged Jersey trousers from John Lewis and jumper M&S.

Huh.Photos didn't load.

And now they have!

@toastfiend keep the dress and get it altered.It's gorgeous and a bargain.

Omg @toastfiend that dress is amazing!! You really do need to keep it. Absolutely perfect!

Nice jumpsuit @Chrispackhamspoodle - what a bargain.
@EnoBaby you look super stylish - sorry you aren't feeling so good, I am also still very tired. I have just decided to stay off until next week so I could rest as much as possible. My isolation has only just ended anyway, it's taken ages to get those elusive negative Lf's!! Take care of yourself.

I rushed back too quickly after Covid and regretted it @EllaPaella.Take your time to rest and get better.Sorry to hear work colleagues have been messaging whilst you are off.

Absolutely gorgeous dress @toastfiend! Definitely a keeper. The Verbiers went back today and from what I see on the fb groups, the majority of people have also sent theirs back! Probably not what F&F were hoping for given they'd been in development for 4 years!

Great Betty Barclay dress @Greyhairwarmheart

You are reminding I need to practice pearl stitch @Sooverthemill with your great jumper. I can knit but need practice with pearl.

Even comfort looks good on you @WestrayWife

Great dungarees @EllaPaella & hiking trousers @KiteflyingKitty

Nice dress @OublietteBravo

Love the skirt @EnoBaby I'm after a maxi skirt used to have and wear loads.

Nice dress @toastfiend i have a few dresses that have been taken in.

Love the jumpsuit @Chrispackhamspoodle

Dress Phase eight
Blazer M&S

@Softpebbles I also have the “skinny outdoor trouser” from Acai. No they have not bobbled (& the material doesn’t feel like it would bobble) but the stitching has snapped in a few places (see picture). I think my legs are too wide for them, but I wouldn’t say I have especially chunky legs, I’d say they’re in proportion to my size!

@toastfiend love that dress, jealous you actually go somewhere that merits dressing up

@Chrispackhamspoodle nice jumpsuit

@EllaPaella these are my M&S balloon jeans. I’m not entirely convinced, but I do like the nice high waist. I think they are less flattering in real life than in this photo Might be another pair of jeans for the “works better in summer” pile

I also got this Whistles skirt from a charity shop today, I’m not doing bare legs yet, just trying it on

@KiteflyingKitty nice Whistles skirt.I think the balloon jeans look good on you.

@KiteflyingKitty I like the balloon jeans on you too

Today I'm trying my new jeans again and I think this look is slightly better because the jumper is shorter. Probably cropped on someone taller than 5'4".

Jeans - M&S Autograph (high rise wide leg)
Jumper - Me&Em

(Thermal leggings / vest under - M&S .... we have woken up to snow today)

@KiteflyingKitty jeans look good
@toastfiend wow that dress, keep!@Sickoffamilydrama YouTube videos are helpful for PURL stitch ( so you can find it!) it's dead easy
@Chrispackhamspoodle love the culottes outfit
@EllaPaella definitely stay home, maybe even next week too

Finished new jumper yesterday. Very pleased
Jumper: knitted by me
Jeans: Levi
Tee under: hush
Shoes: R&B

Wow! @Sooverthemill that jumper is spectacular! You clever clever woman.

Jeans mint velvet
Long sleeve tee - primark
Tank top - laredoute

Oh and my socks from New look. They make me smile every time I look at them!

@EnoBaby - I love the skirt/boot combination. It looks great!

@toastfiend - I agree with everyone else. Keep the lovely dress and get it altered to fit properly.

@Chrispackhamspoodle - that’s a great jumpsuit. I also love your wide legged trousers. Which I must not go looking for, as I’m not supposed to be spending any money.

@KiteflyingKitty - that’s a great skirt (and I agree it’s definitely too early in the year for bare legs).

@WestrayWife - I love that jumper. It’s so versatile.

@Sooverthemill - you’re so talented. What a gorgeous jumper!

@Sickoffamilydrama - I admire that Phase Eight dress every time you wear it. Such a good wardrobe staple.

I’m wearing my 5th blouse of the week, and hoping I’ll be warm enough (I’m WFH today).

Blouse: Boden
Jeans: The Fold
Boots: Ecco

Thanks @Sooverthemill never knew it was spelt Purl but then I've never seen it written down so why would I, you learn a new thing every day!!

Not dressed yet want a Wallace and Gromit style dressing machine today I'm tired but that will be the 2 lots of 6 hours driving I did this week!

@Sickoffamilydrama if you've only ever heard it why would you know how to spell it? English spelling is mad.

Defo keep the dress @toastfiend - wear it round the house if you must, it’s gorgeous on you. I am in the office again today. Can’t believe I used to do this 5 days a week, I am knackered! Dress is Ted Baker - not generally a fan but this I like, pic is crap but it’s got a boat neck which I love and it drapes nicely. Boots are Anthropologie.

I am out of isolation now and just had my first walk on the beach for two weeks - happy happy days 😊
Ordered a couple of tops from &otherstories - both I think work well with all my highwaist jeans

Nice tops @EllaPaella they will go well

@OublietteBravo lovely blouse.Just in case you are tempted the John Lewis trousers are here.I have them in navy and black.

@WestrayWife those jeans look good with that jumper.I have to wear mine with shorter tops too so the M&S fine knit jumpers work well.Anything too long with them makes me look like I'm dressing in my 14 year old's style.
@Sooverthemill love your jumper and knitting skills.
@Purplecatshopaholic I haven't bought anything in Ted Baker before except my glasses.That dress is great-looks more like All Saints.
@EllaPaella glad you are out again.Lovely purchases.
Work this morning so pretty dull.

Coat M&S
