Oh no at @Sooverthemill, I hope that she improves quickly. What a terrible time for you all.

I just came on to say Happy International Womens day to a great bunch.

No outfits from me as I am unwell - again.

Sooverthemill · 08/03/2022 12:00

@Softpebbles oh no! Feel better soon. Happy International Womens Day to you too

EllaPaella · 08/03/2022 19:33

How can I be so tired? DD no better…
Outfit is same as yesterday with jumper in reverse colour way. That’s laziness for you! Oh I changed my underwear obviously!

Hello! I’ve been very lax at posting for the past few days. DH is away in the US, work is crazy, and I don’t seem to have any thinking space.

Sorry to hear about your A&E trip @Sooverthemill. Fingers crossed the GP can sort out something to help your DD feel more comfortable.

I hope you feel better soon @Softpebbles.

Great outfit @Sickoffamilydrama - the jeans are such a great shape on you!

Monday
Tank top: Cos
Blouse: Uniqlo
Trousers: Anthropologie
Boots: Celtic & Co

Tuesday
Shirt dress: M&S
Boots: Doc Martens

Today (2 big F2F meetings with senior bods, so making an effort to look like a corporate lawyer - although I still CBA to dig out any heels)
Dress: The Fold
Boots: Doc Martens

OublietteBravo · 09/03/2022 10:22

@Sooverthemill - I find tiredness has a delayed onset. So I’d be feeling the effects of Monday night today. Hope you manage to catch up on some sleep soon Flowers

Pigtailsandall · 09/03/2022 11:33

Sorry to hear about the illnesses all around - I always find spring somehow exhausting even though it should be rejuvenating!

Heating is off in the office so I've wrapped myself into a really warm big cardigan from Lindex. Dress is from Joules and it's probably my go-to work dress if I'm feeling lazy

Sorry I’m in a rush so no time to comment on everyone but Flowers for @Sooverthemill - I think you’re amazing for making the effort to look nice every day when you have so much going on

Today M&S side stripe trousers (still unsure about these as could do with being a touch longer) and & Other Stories sparkly top . Rubbish photo sorry

Bought these Toast trousers from a charity shop (excuse the public loo photo!) very slightly too small but I am on a diet so hopefully they will fit soon, if not they can go on Vinted or back to charity . Love the high waist and they are super soft fabric

Mild here today. I’m wearing an old skirt from Hush which I used to wear a lot. Should wear it more.

Jumper from Whistles and boots are a new purchase from Hush in the sale

Softpebbles · 09/03/2022 17:15

Like those toast trousers @KiteflyingKitty

Hopefully you’ll get a good nights sleep soon @Sooverthemill

I bought a lovely pleated skirt from Sainsbury’s. Sadly I need to learn pleated skirts are not for me as they just highlight every lump and bump. So back that goes.

Love the dress with the docs @OublietteBravo I need to wear my m and s shirt dress more. I might wear it tomorrow.

Jumper m and s
Jeans - gap
Veja’s which I still love!

Love that jumpsuit @Sickoffamilydrama.
I'm on my way into London.Wearing leggings and a vest top under a(nother £20 Hush dress) so I can whip the dress off and try stuff on in the hall.Got on the train with several woman dressed similarly to me so I think it's going to be busy.Dress is chiffon and tiered.Wouldn't have bought it if I saw in online but I think I will wear it lots.Leather jacket Zara sale years ago.

Sooverthemill · 10/03/2022 09:08

@Chrispackhamspoodle ooh have fun! I used to love sample sales. Kind of slept but not refreshed at all. It’s all just so worrying and DD is no better. DH and I are at each other’s throats as he wants ‘something done’ but there’s nothing anyone can do. We live too far from any decent medical care really. Another reason why I hate rural life!

Pigtailsandall · 10/03/2022 09:20

Enjoy the me+em sale! I decided that a half day off was worth more than the sample sale, even though I am not too far from it. All I really want is a few casual trousers and it didn't seem worth it to take a half day off for it. I bet you'll find lots of good stuff though Smile

But I am wearing my new me+em top. I got the blue rubber one too but I think it's going back - it makes me shoulders look enormous!

Pigtailsandall · 10/03/2022 09:21

Rubber?? Blue RIBBED top

OublietteBravo · 10/03/2022 09:41

I’m quite jealous of those going to the me+em sample sale - looking forward to seeing your purchases!

I think I’m psychologically on Friday already. This week seems to be going on forever.

Jumpsuit: Whistles
Breton top: Boden
Boots: Ecco

Softpebbles · 10/03/2022 09:58

@Chrispackhamspoodle I hope the sample sale is a success. Enjoy.

You look great.

@OublietteBravo I hear you, totally wish it was friday.

@Sickoffamilydrama that is a lovely outfit on you.

@bendmeoverbackwards i love the colour of your jumper.

Small wins today though - we have bright blue skies and I am chancing it with having washing on the line I got warm walking the dog this morning, I think a spring coat will soon be needed!

Sooverthemill · 10/03/2022 13:15

Just had an email that the sample sale sold out at 2! Tons raised for Ukraine

KiteflyingKitty · 10/03/2022 14:17

Oh do tell all about the sample sale

I’ve been to a few many many years ago - I think a Reiss one - but they were a bit rubbish

Feels like spring here, so I have dressed to match the spring mood

Sickoffamilydrama · 10/03/2022 14:20

Sounds like it was carnage at the Me+Em sample sale just read the reviews and lots of people commenting along these lines, glad I didn't go.

Chrispackhamspoodle · 10/03/2022 15:06

I'm on my way home.Queued for almost an hour to get in and I arrived at 9.50am.Picked up a beautiful black dress ,white frilled shirt and tailored trousers...then realised there was an hours queue to pay and I was meeting a friend for lunch.SO I handed it to someone else to have and left.Didn't really need any of it enough to stand my friend up for. Would have been OK if they had organised the tills .I think if you had queued from 8am it would have been OK but who wants to do that? I'll stick to the Hush one in the future.Anyway had a lovely lunch and wander round Kings Cross.Shame about the trousers though.

Chrispackhamspoodle · 10/03/2022 15:17

It wasn't unsafe though.Met nice people in the queue and inside.Didn't experience any rudeness or grabbing. Felt sorry for the staff as the tills had obviously gone wrong hence the long wait to buy.Queue was insane though and they should have told people behind us to go home.

bendmeoverbackwards · 10/03/2022 15:29

@Chrispackhamspoodle I went too! I decided against a mega early start and chanced my luck arriving at 12 ish. Joined the queue and got chatting to some very nice women. But then people starting coming out saying there was nothing left and it wasn't worth it. Staff were apologetic and said they would look at better ways or organising it next time. Some of my fellow queue-ers decided to leave, I thought I'd hang on to have a look. By the time I got in there were many empty boxes! And the queues for the tills were still really long. So left empty handed. What a waste of a day!
