Was out last night for the first time in a while. Think we are still easing into life after covid.. dress Vivienne Westwood with Stuart Weitzman boots.

Oops, spelled some user names wrongly - that probably makes a difference? Might have it right this time…

Thanks @Purplecatshopaholic
I'll be back later when I'm presentable and out of dog walking gear...

Thanks for the new thread @Purplecatshopaholic
Been a bit absent of late but am still following you all.
faffadoodledo · 28/01/2023 10:42
Oh heck.. don't know why I think dog walking clothes aren't valid!
Celtic sweater
Finistere jacket
Leggings and wellies (tho it's mercifully dry)
Alpine Lowe bum bag full of poo bags and training treats
I am a walking cliche of a Cornishwoman in my brands today!
Purplecatshopaholic · 28/01/2023 10:47
@faffadoodledo dog walking gear is totally valid, lol - think I have poo bags in every pocket of every jacket I own, lol

I’ve been AWOL for a few days as work has been crazy. I’ve been in the office for 31 hours since Wednesday. And then straight out to dinner for the last two evenings (once with work, and once with friends). I didn’t actually see DH yesterday. He was asleep when I left (at 07:20) and asleep when I got home (at 23:45).

Thanks so much for new thread @Purplecatshopaholic I'm loving those new R&B boots they are lush, and love today's outfit too! 😍
Gosh! I am so behind on this thread, just quickly trying to catch up and flick through pics of last thread, everyone looking fab 👌
I've been soooo busy, this January hasn't stopped and now we're already nearly in Feb, where has all that time gone!
I've got a few pics to post but will drop them later!
For now my newly organised corner of clothes (dh gave me his art corner, god love'im, because I kept getting angry that I couldn't fit my clothes in the old tiny wardrobe, so I had a "rearrangement" of wardrobes and storage and now he has a wardrobe and our coats have a wardrobe and I have what looks like a shop corner in our bedroom 🤭) but it's all arranged so I can see exactly what I have, I've still got to make the curtains to cover it and my shoes all 68 pairs are hiding conspicuously under furniture in the bedroom and still need to find somewhere for handbags (i found loads i had forgotten about)....but it's all good 👍

PE kit for work yesterday, which I'm wearing a variation of right now as I've just done my cardio and HIIT for today.
I'm consistently doing 30-40 mins a day again now so hoping I get back into the shape I was always in until baby no. 2 came along.
EnoBaby · 28/01/2023 11:29
Thanks for new thread @Purplecatshopaholic - you look fabulous in your purple dress.
toucaninjapan · 28/01/2023 11:44
@Purplecatshopaholic thanks for the new thread! You look fantastic in that Vivienne Westwood dress.
@OublietteBravo love your Friday outfit a lot!
@EnoBaby 30-40 min of cardio and HIIT?? Now that's a dedication (and willpower!) I aspire to have!
I make sure to exercise every day, but typically it's 10 min tops.
Today's outfit (Sezane and Uniqlo) for grocery shopping.
Hats usually suit me, but I find myself struggling with berets, guess I just have to admit that berets are not for me and leave it at that. Though I must say it doesn't look too terrible when I have the mask on (the government has announced they will make masks non-mandatory in May, hallelujah to that! I hate doing my nursery runs with the mask on, as if they are not hard enough already).

Boden wide leg jeans
Ghost x Marks and Spencer blouse
Primark baseball boots
Victoria Secrets twist knot top that I am wearing back to front as it looks better that way
Anya Hindmarch blue label bag( picture bag) with a picture of a dog and women’s bottom half
Pre loved
Roxy quilted long coat
John Lewis hat
Stripe scarf

I've built that up from only doing 7-15 minutes a day in the first week of Jan. I'm really finding a love for it again. I used to do Insanity or swim everyday and had always been in very good shape, but really came undone during my second pregnancy and beyond.
Love your outfit today!
Teenyweenyitsybitsy · 28/01/2023 13:09
@Purplecatshopaholic I really like your dress, that colour suits you well
@OublietteBravo I also like your shirt it's nice and cheerful
@Puddinandpie your back finally, I have been waiting for style inspo and it was worth the wait great dress very, very chic
Dontsparethehorses · 28/01/2023 13:16
Just found this thread and love all the outfits posted! I’ll take a photo later if happy for newbies to join in - be great to have a reason to put more thought into every day outfits!
Puddinandpie · 28/01/2023 13:16
@EnoBaby I used to do INSANITY(been there done that literally got the tshirt), INSANITY MAX 30 AND T25 absolutely brilliant they are, i got so bloody fit doing it then went on to running 5 miles a day but stopped when I was pregnant with 4 dc and just can't seem to do it now not with endo, it's bloody agony (I tried and failed miserably) it's so hard after doing something that gets you sooo fit, when you leave it a while and come back to it!
EnoBaby · 28/01/2023 15:54
Yeah @Puddinandpie I always found Insanity Max 30 really challenging, even when I was fit!
Puddinandpie · 28/01/2023 16:40
@Teenyweenyitsybitsy awww! Thank you Yes I'm back, back again!! (Backstreet boys pun intended)🤣
@EnoBaby it most certainly was, and the sweat aswell was almighty, I loved it in the end, at one point me and dh would compete against each other to see who could go longer before they stopped and "timed out" I realised then just how competitive I was🙈
Cardigansalltheway · 28/01/2023 17:57
Thanks for the new thread @Purplecatshopaholic ! I’m on a never ending journey back to the UK so normal service of jeans/knitwear/boots to be resumed tomorrow!
