Hello everyone 

Delurking to say I absolutely love this thread and to ask @OublietteBravo what style your DMs are? I need them!

Love seeing everyone's very individual sense of style.

OMG that suit @OublietteBravo! I LOVE
it!!!

We had to go to work in PE kit today, the thought of which bored the eff out of me. Compromised by chucking a blazer and scarf over my Nike track leggings.
Trainers are Nike Runners in fly knit.

@countrypunk - they’re the Aimilitas (I think I got them in 2020).

Thanks oubliette!

@Softpebblesrught decision. Try another. My French connection one from years ago has a belt.

@HuntingoftheSnark great note! Definitely not a day to wear a wig outside. Probably not a day to go outside! My cats have stayed inside in DDs bed all day. ( I threw my wig out recently. I never really wore it but it was good to have the option).
@OublietteBravo 8 always love that Hobbs jacket

@Softpebbles I think it's meant to be an oversized coat but unusually for Hush the sizing seems quite small. Certainly I find the 10 not particularly roomy and the arms are quite tight.
It's not a particularly practical coat, if I'm honest I probably won't be wearing mine done up, it'll be more of an overcoat to finish an outfit. So not warm enough for my dog walking, post sea swims days (I'll stick to my duvet coat and dry robes for that).
There are a lot of slightly shorter and more cocoon shaped styles of quilted jackets that I think you might prefer- I'll post some links later.

And it's cheaper! Wish I'd seen this one first!

None of those links worked Anyway this is the Arket one that I really like and think has a more coccon shape that lends itself better to this style of coat.

I think you may have linked to the super dry one I’ve earmarked to try on Sunday!

Thanks for the other links x

@Softpebbles wearsmymoney did green quilted coats round up a few weekends ago. Worth a look

Just got back from a work event 3 hours away from my house luckily I missed the worst of the weather.

Dress Caroline Issa

Keep @KiteflyingKitty - they’re lovely and bright for summer! ☀️

@EllaPaella love your chazza bargains - they really suit you

Posting this outfit to remind myself to get rid! It looks so boxy - I definitely have more flattering outfits in my wardrobe.

Skirt - H&M
Jumper - M&S

Worn for about an hour before changing into a WFH onsie - no leaving the house today as we’re in the Met Office’s ‘red zone’

Awful weather just now. Sulky cats, lol. Couldn’t take even a half decent pic as PurplecatDog is wanting constant cuddles as the strong winds upset him. Faux leather leggings are from Spanx, with a sweatshirt dress from Baukjen. Boots are shiny gold and a bit out there, but so bloomin comfy - got them in the EMP sale.

Trying different pair of the jigsaw jeans on 26 and they are okay! Yay
Probably won’t wear jumper much as it’s warm ( or maybe I’m sick?)
Tee: Sézane
Jeans: jigsaw
Shoes: R&B
Jumper: Sézane

@Sickoffamilydrama love that dress. The colour is gorgeous and looks beautiful on you.
The angle of this photo isn't very flattering (that's what I'm telling myself)

Dress - vintage M &S via charity
Black ribbed roll neck - primark
Maroon tights - next
Brogue boots - charity shop

Cute dress @Twateralflow. I don’t channel bag lady chic very often - I hope! - but in my defence it’s snowing here and very cold! I shoved on layers over layers to take the dog out - he was not keen! The black dress is a lacy slip dress from All Saints. Grey knit dress and jumper are from Forbidden Tribes, with an old velvet scarf is Armani from an Outlet Village somewhere. Boots from EMP.
Stay Warm everyone

Can’t remember where I got the - unbranded - cashmere wristlets from, which is a shame as I love them!

Personally I love a bit of bag lady chic! I think you look fab @Purplecatshopaholic. Are the wrist warmers from Turtle Dove?

I've whacked on a camel wool coat to venture out along with a camel coloured beanie

I've fallen off the thread due to half term / builders being in etc.... hopefully back to some sense of normal next week.

Jeans : M&S (still not sure but they are comfy)
Jumper : Primark

Will need to change before I go out though - we have snow here and I don't want to experience rising damp a la 2006

We have rain. Cold rain, but definitely not snow. And I really have to go out and post the eBay parcels.

Jumper: Jigsaw (it took me 3 attempts to find the perfect orange jumper, but I really think this is it!)
Jeans: Boden
Boots: Doc Martens
