@KiteflyingKitty great shorts!

@HuntingoftheSnark hospices of the Weald in Oxted. £2 all clothes (including coats) - it's fabulous!

@Shannith I'm in Tunbridge Wells! Close. I shall get there when I can. We used to have an amazing charity place here but it closed down.

Can I share this? It really made me laugh. The wig is post chemotherapy.

We were meant to be going out today but the weather forecast has changed our minds! I don’t fancy driving today!

Jeans and m and s polo. Both old.

@EllaPaella coat pics.

Maybe it’s meant to fit this way I just don’t feel that it particularly does anything for me. Maybe I need to look for a more fitted one - not sure 🤔 thoughts?

Open

@Softpebbles I think you need something more fitted, to be honest. You're hiding a great figure under than bulky coat. I have one from French Connection which would suit you so well. You go in and out - this blocky stuff isn't for you.

Sorry, that was a bit blunt.

@HuntingoftheSnark no it’s good to hear. I’m trying to buy things I am 💯 on and although I love it it’s not quite right.

I appreciate your honesty. 😁

@Softpebbles I agree, you have a lovely figure and that coat is not quite right for you & hides your nice figure

Something like this.

@Softpebbles that coat would be perfect if it had a waist - colour and fit on your upper body is great but as @HuntingoftheSnark and @KiteflyingKitty say when you've got a beautiful hourglass figure you can enjoy accentuating it.

It's tricky though to get warm, waterproof and fitted. joules?

@Softpebbles something like

this

@Softpebbles I saw this coat in Next this week and thought it was nice as you can cinch in the waist . It’s actually more of a darker green in person than it looks on the picture.

Well that didn't work - full link sorry

@HuntingoftheSnark your note brought a smile to my face, it’s very sweet. Looking lovely in pink.

@Sooverthemill that’s a lovely denim blouse, it looks lovely and soft too.

@Softpebbles you look gorgeous in your top and jeans today, they really show off your lovely figure.

A day of running about the house and errands for me so keeping it comfy.I’m a simple creature and one of habit when it comes to Winter casual - hence the regular appearance of a roll neck!

Navy Jumper - Reiss
Navy Coated Jeans - Next
Green Trainers - Moda in Pelle

Gosh it’s windy here (I’m just a smidge north of the red warning). So much so that I’m experiencing windchill in my office (it faces west, and is draughtier than I’d previously appreciated).

Velvet suit: Hobbs
Jumper: Nobody’s Child
Boots: Doc Martens

That suit looks great @OublietteBravo

I love the pink jumper on you @HuntingoftheSnark

@Sooverthemill I love that shirt and those jeans on you.

@MargotLB always so stylish even when you are just casual jumper and jeans. I am near a next on Sunday so will have a look at the coat.

@Shanniththat is a lovely cut coat.

Thanks for all of the comments. It wasn’t quite right which is a shame as I loved it on @EllaPaella so much. If anything it’s highlighted how different we all are and made me appreciate that something may look great on someone else and an item can be fabulous but actually not ok on you - if that makes sense to anyone else 🤦‍♀️

Jeans, a long-sleeved thermal vest, a polo neck jumper and a thick jumper on top of that - it's cold here!

Jus spoken to my brother who tells me he has trousers and a shirt on - they have the heating blasting out. Put a bloody jumper on!!!

It makes sense to me @Softpebbles I absolutely love the oversized look but I’m short and I think it would all just drown me. It makes you wonder about standard clothes sizes 8,10,12,14 etc two people might be the same size in one dress but totally different heights and shapes. Likewise a size 10 in one shop can be completely different to a size 10 in another. This is why I think we need a 3D printer for jeans!

@OublietteBravo your suit is absolutely gorgeous on you - are both the jacket and trousers flowery? It’s wonderful.

Yes! The trousers and jacket match (although I don’t usually wear them together).

The pattern doesn’t photograph well
