What are you wearing today? Stepping into summer 2022

[EllaPaella]

Here goes
Will tag shortly

@toucaninjapan fab dungarees and @Cegbee lovely dress.

@OublietteBravo I really like those M&S trousers - what style are they? (What are they called)

Today hospital appointment

Top - jigsaw
Skirt meandem
Sandals - bobs shoes? Can't remember. Very comfy

They’re these ones @Shannith. I sized up, because I found the size 8 to be a little too tight around the hips.

Everyone looking lovely as usual 😍
Summer showed it's face for a few hours today ☀️ Long enough for me to enjoy a late afternoon sea swim when I got home, absolutely gorgeous.
Today for me: Levi's, Cotton jumper French Connection and a white T shirt from Passenger underneath.
I have been very stressed lately and finally put some time aside this evening to do some yoga - feeling absolutely marvellous now. Must keep it up, it's funny when I am my most stressed I seem to stop doing all the things that are good for me. Need to get back on track with exercise and healthy eating as well.
@Sooverthemill loving the vest top.
I must show you all these gorgeous sandals I have on the way from Anthropologie, so excited about them.

@EllaPaella they are fab. Can't wait to see them. Join us on the daily yoga thread @shannith is there and lots of others too. Keeps me on the mat! I think daily yoga keeps me alive

@EllaPaella those sandals are amazing.

I’ve resisted so far. I’ve wanted some chunky heeled tan ones but none are quite right. Love the boden one but quite spendy and I need a new wetsuit!

You are so right about when we need exercise most we do it the least. I had an MRI on Tuesday in preparation for surgery in August. I have been feeling absolutely exhausted lately and I know I need to up my exercise. It’s so hard.

It was a lovely morning here and then it turned cold 🤦‍♀️

Sorry to hear that @Softpebbles - hope you are ok.
Are you still open water swimming? It's so nice now I can finally go in without gloves and boots and stay in long enough for a proper swim.

I am tall and slim so will wear a long green tube all summer. Thank you.

@intwrferingma - I was looking at Boden's website yesterday and I've found that fabulous flowery blouse! Don't know why I didn't see it several days ago. I've snatched it immediately & very much look forward to its arrival. Didn't know it's 100% linen too!
This thread is very bad for my wallet.😁

Love your yesterday's outfit @OublietteBravo , cool sandals (and toe nail colour) @Shannith , really gorgeous outfit yesterday @EllaPaella , I hope the stress disappears & everything goes well @EllaPaella and @Softpebbles .

Nursery run outfit:
Top - Joules
Jeans - Boden

@EllaPaella those sandals look very much like the Esska ones I've been eying for a year now! Anyone else got Esskas? Are they any good?

What i need is a good wedding to go to to give me the excuse to purchase

Going to hairdresser today ( and vet later, poorly hedgehog no better) . Always nervous at the hairdresser the stylists talk so much ( most of my day is spent in silence) and have no conversation ( except about books or knitting or politics)
jacket: Sézane
towelling top: NRBY
jeans: hush
sandals: Birkenstock
bag: Christmas gift from DD 2019. Not had any opportunity to use it yet

I love those sandals @EllaPaella - looking forward to seeing photos once they arrive.

I know what you mean about hairdressers @Sooverthemill. I always struggle with the seemingly obligatory small talk. It bothers me less nowadays, but when the children were small I really wished they’d shut up so I could enjoy a tiny bit of time without being talked at!

supposed to be warmer today, so why do I currently feel really cold?

Blouse: Brora (via eBay)
Trousers: Whistles
Trainers: Ecco

I don't mind going to the hairdresser but my hair takes ages to colour (usually have to spend at least 4 hours there) so yes, conversation tends to run dry after the first couple of hours. I don't watch Strictly or Love Island which seem to he the two programmes that keep the convo going when we've already covered everything else 🤪

@intwrferingma yes they are Esska sandals

Arriving tomorrow 😍

I have just lost a long post. I love the jacket @Sooverthemill . Great colour and style. I love the bracelet @toucaninjapan . You look elegant as always @Shannith . Great M&S trousers @OublietteBravo . Lovely dress @Cegbee . Hope you had a great time. Thanks for all the dress love.
Yesterday top monsoon, cardigan phase eight, skirt cant remember. Thursday dress white stuff.

Thursday

It was actually not awful but quite nice! A new hairdresser to me and she’s going to help me encourage my natural curl and didn’t push me into colouring my hair! The one I used to have was all about covering the grey, pro Brecht and anti immigrants. So I struggled with that. Bloody good cutter though. Yay
top: Sézane new
shorts: whistles old
sandals:Birkenstock ancient

Lovely outfits everyone. Looks like summer is finally coming next week, I’m looking forward to wearing summer dresses and sandals.

Interesting to read about yoga. I do pilates (go to a weekly class), I’ve never really understood the difference between yoga and Pilates.

@bendmeoverbackwards as I understand it ( and I do both) Pilates focuses on specific areas eg your core but not just that to strengthen and relax those muscles and yoga is more about general flexibility and mobility. My osteopath uses both ( and teaches both) . Pilates is good but I find yoga suits me better. Adrienne uses some Pilates exercises in her yoga sessions.

Hello! I think it is finally warm enough for sandals (which autocorrect is trying really hard to change to Sandra).

Top: Etam
Dungarees: Boden
Sandals: Ecco

@bendmeoverbackwards Pilates to me is more about exercise- improving core strength etc. yoga is more breathing focused, it is good for toning up, balance and core strength but is also very meditative as well. There is nothing more relaxing than a yen yoga session, you come away feeing like you've had an 8 hour sleep!

Dress Jigsaw
Cardi Boden
Brand new yellow Birkenstocks (big buckle ones). I bought three pairs of Birkies. I'm slowly introducing them into the household, hoping DH doesn't spot the bulk buying!

@EllaPaella ah yes Yin yoga is very meditative but ashtanga, vinyasa and kundalini are very definitely exercise: hot, sweaty, cardio for sure. I never feel hot and sweaty after Pilates ( which I do with a teacher) and I always do after yoga. It depends on which type you practice I think. I ignore the spirituality side of yoga entirely though I love a quick yoga meditation I never ommmm

Haha @Sooverthemill I am the exact opposite and always feel knackered after Pilates 😀 I don't do the vigorous forms of yoga, painful exercise is not for me. A nice run or swim for cardio (or brisk walk) and then some gentle toning and relaxing yoga to help with stress.

My sandals should be arriving today.. trying to revise but on edge listening out for postie.
