Totally forgot to take a photo today, but I was WFH in my white lounge dress with cat faces pattern.

@OublietteBravo I really love the color palette you chose for your outfit and how everything goes together!

@Sooverthemill that's great to hear! I'll be looking forward to your photo in the new dress. Hope you have a lovely weekend with your family! Flowers
I've also received my Sezane package and I'm so pleased with the items. The dress and the jumper look even better in real life than they did on the photos and now I feel like I want a couple more tops/ jumpers from Sezane.

Meanwhile... theatre tonight (first time in 2.5 years!)
Jigsaw dress
Vionic shoes

And may I ask your opinions ladies on this turquoise dress? Tried it on today in my favourite vintage shop. I Want something to wear for DD's masters graduation in Westminster Hall (quite grand I imagine??). 1980s dress with leather belt. What say you stylish ladies?

@faffadoodledo i love it! I think it will be perfect. Will you wear a hat? People seemed to at DD1’s ( not that I went )

Thanks so much for all your comments re potential birthday dresses the other day, sorry I haven't been back for a bit, work has been a bit manic. I'm definitely going to keep the black Cos dress, but not as a birthday dress.

@WestrayWife the magpie in me loved the sparkly ASOS dress too, sadly it arrived and it's awful- like a shiny, scratchy nightie, so that's gone straight back. Shame as I was very drawn to the sparkle!

You all made me rethink the Reformation dress and I was considering keeping it, but my DM pointed out that it's very similar to lots I have for DH's formal work dos, and she's right, it is, and I think that's why it doesn't feel "party wear" enough, so it's going back.

Nice to see you back @happytobemrsg, love those floral trousers.

@Softpebbles I get this with my upper arms, too. I think most people do to a greater or lesser extent. My best friend and I call them our "armpit buddies". I think you notice on yourself far more than anyone else ever would. You look fab in that dress. 😊

I really like your Zara shorts @Sickoffamilydrama, they really suit you.

Love your Hush dress @missfliss, your floral skirt @Sooverthemill, and your Anthropologie trousers @OublietteBravo.

Those new shoes really are fab @EllaPaella!

Photo dump from me, can't remember what days!

Pink dress - Anthropologie
Fringed sandals - Office

Short dungarees - Lucy & Yak
T-shirt - Lucy & Yak
Boots - DMs

Embroidered dress - Temperley London (a second hand bargain!)

I love that turquoise dress @faffadoodledo. It looks beautiful on you and perfect for the occasion.

My outfit from today -
Dungarees- Lucy & Yak
T-shirt - H&M
Boots - DMs

After the disappointment of the first sparkly ASOS dress, I bought more, and these are the current 2 birthday dress contenders... I'm aware they're a bit OTT, but I think that's what I want! 😂

Both from ASOS, the longer one is a midi skirt and cropped top. I'm not sure if they're the most flattering items ever, but I like the glorious, unapologetic ridiculousness of them. Bit worried the shorter one shows off my fat knees, though. I have no idea when it happened, I used to have quite toned legs when I ran a lot. Then I got diagnosed with arthritis and told to stop running and my body seems to have been busily creating knee fat pads ever since and I've lost quite a lot of shape in my leg, which is annoying. 😬 Opinions welcome, if you hate them do say, I'm not easily offended and I recognise they're likely to be marmite in nature! At the moment opinions are divided, my DM prefers the long one, DH the shorter one. DM and I are off to London for a shopping trip next week so will see if there is anything I like more there - I'm excited! 😁

@toastfiend I like the shorter one best Glitterball
You have absolutely and completely normal knees. And I say that as someone who also hates their knees and any leg part north of there. To my utter surprise I wore shorts this week and No One Died. It was a revelation. Go short and love every moment of your party - the version of you in 20 years will appreciate it.

toucaninjapan · 25/06/2022 02:20

Love your Vionic shoes @faffadoodledo and your flowery dungarees @toastfiend . I like shorter dress on you better @toastfiend , and your legs look very slim to me!

+32 here today and might go up to +36 next week! Humidity is still somewhat okayish, thank God, but I'm dreading the start of July.
I'm wearing Boden dress I bought on winter sale, such a shame they don't sell women's clothes on their Japanese website (they sell only Mini Boden and it's so limited there that I always end up purchasing from UK website). I believe they used to sell women's clothing online here in the past, but it didn't go well (no surprise here as Boden is very very far from what an average Japanese lady would choose to wearGrin), but they certainly could sell more Mini Boden if they marketed it correctly.Blush

I love the shorter dress @toastfiend your legs look great.

@toucaninjapan lovely dress. It’s been warm here but not that warm!

Its been a week of casual things here. Last night I went for a couple of drinks and put on an old dress and high tops, very casual. Added a denim jacket although it was warm so I didn’t really need.

Sézane Zarri dress. Obviously I love it and will wear with my strappy tan sandals. But at £10 less than I paid last year for the lack one it’s not exactly a bargain! But I have wanted a white summer dress for a while and this went out of stock last year

Sooverthemill · 25/06/2022 09:23

quick scroll back, @toastfiend the shorter one is fab. My first husband always said I had fat knees and it put him off me. Needless to say, he didn’t last. I honestly think most people don’t notice our wobbly bits as much as we ourselves do ( aside from that arse)
also try Liberty’s sale in store. I think you would enjoy it!

OublietteBravo · 25/06/2022 10:14

I like the shorter dress too @toastfiend. it just seems more “party” to me. Your legs look great.

I love your outfit today @toucaninjapan. You look fabulous!

The max today is forecast to be 19C, so I’ve gone with a jumpsuit. But I’m already wondering if I should get changed.

Breton: Boden
Jumpsuit: Whistles
Trainers: M&S

Worked from home yesterday so slummed it until we went out for dinner in the evening (my son’s birthday 🥳). I wore an outfit I’ve already posted so shamelessly reposting that photo.

Shirt- Zara
Jeans- M&S

Howay @toastfiend you have bloody lovely legs, nowt to worry about there. The pink dress and purple sandals outfit is just absolutely lovely - also loving the shimmery sequin dresses 👌😍
@toucaninjapan and @Sooverthemil loving the summery dresses.
@faffadoodledo i love the turquoise dress, perfect for the occasion.
We've had a week of gorgeous weather and it's still sunny but the temperature has dropped a bit and it's a bit fresher today.
I've been a bit reluctant to wear my chunky DM sandals so I decided to customise them. They were Makaye sandals but have been turned intk Blairs by chopping the tongues out - much prefer them now.

@Sooverthemill @toucaninjapan @Softpebbles @faffadoodledo (and all the other great dresses I've missed) I love your summer dresses. I'm a sucker for a nice dress!

@OublietteBravo the M&S blouse is so pretty.

@toastfiend I also prefer the shorter dress, it looks great on you. And I love the pink and gold one with the purple shoes.

@EllaPaella I love what you've done with your DM sandals, they look great!

I spent yesterday watching DS at a sports event and wore a similar outfit to today - hush harems and Boden t-shirt. We had friends over last night so changed into Oasis dress and belt I've had for years. I wish the belt was slightly tighter, it was purchased in the days of low rise jeans so more hip than waist sized. I'm wondering if I can adjust it somehow without ruining it 🤔

Ooo @OublietteBravo I have jumpsuit envy. But I think yours is from a previous season because I've tried to search Whistles. Drat!

faffadoodledo · 25/06/2022 11:45

I agree with the consensus @toastfiend - the shorter dress. It's fab-u-lous!

OublietteBravo · 25/06/2022 12:38

@faffadoodledo - they still do it in denim

OublietteBravo · 25/06/2022 12:39

Or corduroy

Shannith · 25/06/2022 18:48

@PalacePaper love your dress so much! @Softpebbles and @toucaninjapan excellent dresses also. You all look absolutely lovely.

Thanks for the dress love @faffadoodledo. It was very cool and comfortable for work.
Lots of lovely dresses recently. Have a lovely time at your son's restaurant @Sooverthemill .
We're on holiday so wore my comfortable Whistles jumpsuit for the first time. I bought it on Ebay last year.

I'm in love with your polka dot dresses @TheOrigRights and @Sickoffamilydrama and your black & white dress @Softpebbles . Some serious dress inspiration going on here!
That Zarri dress is absolutely fantastic @Sooverthemill !
I also like red & silver combination @PalacePaper , love that black jumpsuit @OublietteBravo , looks so flattering!

Quick grocery shopping is the only reason I'm stepping my foot outside today - it's so hot!
