What are you wearing today.. skipping into Spring

[EllaPaella]

Hello everyone
@20FlowerPower @AnnieSnap @bendmeoverbackwards @CaterpillaNavilla @DavetheCat2001 @EnoBaby @GalactatingGoddess @Greyhairwarmheart @HuntingoftheSnark @itssquidstella @Justonedayatatime11 @KiteflyingKitty @MargotLB @merlinsbutter @Purplecatshopaholic @OublietteBravo @Shannith @Sickoffamilydrama @WestrayWife @Sooverthemill @toastfiend

Happy birthday @Purplecatshopaholic

@Softpebbles I have 5 pairs of 501 and a pair of 501 90s all of which are so good. I mainly buy on eBay but did get a pair from levi

@Sooverthemill I have a pair of the rib cage and 2 of the 501T. I’m looking forward to receiving them, although I can’t wait to start wearing dresses!

Ooh yes the rib cage straight ankle are probably my favourite jeans.

Thank you @EllaPaella

All my Levi's are 501's. Not rib cage though, I don't do well with very high waist. I have the ordinary high waist straight leg, one pair are cropped.

Happy birthday @Purplecatshopaholic and @Softpebbles lovely jacket

Levi's are often a decent price when bought via Debenhams

@Purplecatshopaholic happy birthday!

@Sooverthemill every time I'm in a charity shop I keep my eyes peeled for you.

Since the weather went arctic I've barely got out of thermal leggings and various jumpers/hoodies but as I warms up next week I'll post some actual outfits.

I've got a new foster dog - who is a babe but was very traumatised so that been a lot of hard work.

I think I've worn this most days!

Furry ring (I'm sure there's an actual name for them but that's what they are known as in this house) - charity
Wax jacket - ? Older than the solar system
Leggings - Amazon
Boots - Dubarry
Dog is not the foster dog though he's her twin in looks - but furrier

Here are the dresses, first is from Anorak and I'm definitely keeping this. Second is Sugarhill Brighton and not sure about this one as the sleeves are maybe a bit too puffy?

They are both lovely on you @EllaPaella. If the puff sleeve would annoy you though maybe return the green ? But yes pretty)

@EllaPaella both look nice on you.. keep both!

I like them both @EllaPaella

Happy Birthday @Purplecatshopaholic

Am I being fussy with these hush trainers before I complain?

Jumper other stories
Jeans Next
Boots Ecco

@Sickoffamilydrama I would complain too.. the problem with Hush is the quality can be a bit hit and miss.

@Sickoffamilydrama I would complain!

Late posting today. Happy Birthday @Purplecatshopaholic - it's been Baltic here too.

Jumpsuit - NRBY
Thermal under - M&S
Shoes - Fit Flop

Ended up with a jumper on top, plus big coat, scarf, hat and gloves. All of which made going to the public toilets on the beach very difficult!! Beach pic included. Was 7 degrees and very very windy....brr....but DC had fun.

@EllaPaella I like both dresses - sorry if that isn't helpful! @Softpebbles I've been eyeing up some cropped rib cage jeans from Levi's so let us know how you get on.

Fell off the thread again, work and life in general have been a bit manic lately.

Your new dress is absolutely beautiful @Sooverthemill.

Love both your new dresses @EllaPaella!

New foster dog sounds very rewarding @Shannith.

Hope you had a great birthday @Purplecatshopaholic.

Everyone looks great as ever- have read back a few pages, will catch up properly this evening.

Went to see The Handmaid's Tale opera yesterday evening, great to have an evening with my best friend and we really enjoyed the opera.

Skirt - Hush
Jumper - Hush
Boots - DMs
Leather jacket - All Saints

Took DS to watch some eventing today, trying to indoctrinate him to the equestrian way of life early, much to DH's disgust/concern for family finances! 😂

Shirt - M&S
Jeans - All Saints

Worn with Aigle wellies and puffer coat because the sunshine was deceptive and it was actually bloody cold standing outside for hours. DS course walked like a champ, though, and I've come home very jealous of all those competing and determined that when life is a bit less crazy I WILL have my own horse again! It's a course I've jumped quite a lot of before and I was quite surprised by my confidence before I had DS - fences look a lot bigger from the ground than they did when I was 17 hands in the air!

@EllaPaella I love both dresses but the first one is my favourite.

I would like some sandals similar to these boden ones but with a smaller price tag! Realistically would I wear them?!

@toastfiend the Floriza looks lovely on you! Love the colour too!

Went to see Wicked last night which was fab. Wore my new MV dress.

It's my birthday today so I may just ponce about in my new Floriza skirt too! 🎈🎈🎈

Have been in trackies and sweaters all week (all indistinguishable - SB and Celtic) so didn't feel it justified posting. But I've enjoyed all your outfits hugely.
I've also bimbled around Vinted a bit. I've sold loads through it, but bought little (actually nothing!). Must try harder.. tho am at the moment on hunt for a handbag for DD's birthday. I thought Coach. But what say you crowd? She's 24 and lives in London. What do young women like? I have no idea because i'm old! x

I made my first purchase on Vinted yesterday.. a pair of biker boots, hoping they will fit but they were cheap as chips so giving them a go.

Have a few things listed too so will see how that goes!

Thank you for the dress love. I think it’s a keeper. Now for good weather
@Softpebbles try kitty clogs they have gorgeous ones. Am tempted
Still unwell. Spent yesterday watching downtown abbey on Netflix while trying not to criticise DH looking after me, DD and house ( he doesn’t do a thing in the house, worst DH I’ve ever had for housework)
DD is really bad now too. Annoying as they won’t let us use our expedited PCR kits any more ( both CEV and eligible for the treatment). Oh well
Sweatshirt: Sézane
Tee under ancient h& m
Jeans: hush
Sandals: Birkenstock

Happy birthday to @Purplecatshopaholic and @Davethecat2001.

I love, love, love the Hush skirts @toastfiend and @Davethecat2001.

I like both dresses @EllaPaella, but the first is my favourite. I know what you mean about puffy sleeves - they’re not my favourite look either.

It is sunny but still cool. I don’t have anything I really need to do, so I’m out for coffee with DH. He’s not really a fan of dungarees, but has learnt no to comment on my clothes

Jumper: M&S
Dungarees: Boden
Trainers: Moda in Pelle

Happy birthday @Davethecat2001 I agree that you should flounce for the rest of the day.

@Sooverthemill your note about this DH being the worse in terms of housework made me chuckle. Hope you and DD start to feel better soon. Is it covid do you think?

It's lovely and sunny here today but still very cold in the shade / wind.

Jumper dress - Monki
Top under - Seasalt
Tights - M&S
Trainers - Veja
Parka - Boden
Bag - Oliver Bonas

Thank you @WestrayWife and @OublietteBravo

@Davethecat2001we look forward to seeing the boots here!
