Favourite shirt and tank with the new me and em combats and comfortable Hoff trainers for a day trip to London. Wasn’t sure this would happen but DS and his GF offered to look after everything so we could go out now DHs holiday fell apart. So we are going to look for an eternity ring for me. Postponed 10 years ago and hopefully now we can get one. We couldn’t afford an engagement ring so I would like something

adding in my black reiss coat for the travel

It’s snowing. Grrr. Need to keep on an eye on it in case I need to leave the office early. Dress from Ted Baker, and Terry de Havilland fave boots. Love these boots so much I cracked and bought them in another colour

I love your whole trouser collection @EnoBaby!

Another jumper dress today.

Dress: ASOS
Boots: H&M

@Cardigansalltheway I love the doors in your house 👀
Exact same style and colour at my mum's, knobs and all!

Boden Islington trousers again - khaki this time. I'm on the fence about them as had to size up to accommodate hips but this results in bunching round round my waist. So many brands seem to cut for narrow hips these days.

Trainers are Superga 2790 with a rope sole - obviously a winning choice for a sleety March afternoon 😆

@Sooverthemill oooooh diamonds are a girls best friend 😉 did you get your ring? I need to see it I'm a diamond nut, you should have insisted on an engagement ring also, while your there an all!!(I'm sooo bad when it comes to rings, I just want them all😁)

Keep forgetting to load pic before leaving house, any how is it me or has it gone colder again, although tomorrow I think is warming up🤞
Shirt dress- asos it's really really thick fabric so actually really warm
Shoes- boutique

I LOVE the choice of colors in your outfit @EnoBaby

@Sooverthemill I hope you had a lovely day and you've got yourself a ring you like. My engagement ring has three tiny diamonds. I like it, but I remember feeling embarrassed when I was on a business trip to the US and one of our business partners (very lovely and very wealthy woman who's married to some British aristocrat) congratulated me on my engagement and asked to show her the ring. Her ring was huge (3 carats maybe? it's the biggest ring I've ever seen), mine looked so incredibly small in comparison and I saw that she was lost for words for a second before she finally said something nice about my ring.
MIL (bless her) wasn't very impressed with my ring also, so she is getting her own engagement ring resized for me and she's added 2 additional diamonds from her earrings to make it a trilogy ring.

@Puddinandpie I imagine you have an amazing jewellery collection!

I was supposed to WFH today, but I was unexpectedly asked to cover my coworker's job in some remote location, so here I am.
Cord blazer - Boden
Knit - Brooks brothers
Jeans - Uniqlo
Belt - Sezane

Great dresses @Cardigansalltheway @Puddinandpie and @Purplecatshopaholic . I think you look perfect for a walk then lunch @faffadoodledo . Hope the ring shopping went well @Sooverthemill . I don't have an engagement ring either. Yesterday skirt jigsaw, top white stuff, cardigan primark.

@Purplecatshopaholic, @Puddinandpie and @Cardigansalltheway, loving those dresses, you all look amazing. I'm still wearing the pink wool one, so won't bore you with another picture. I love how wool can be worn multiple days without washing. @EnoBaby, I like the wide leg trousers on you and the colour is lovely. I don't have an engagement ring either, just a plain rose gold wedding band, wanted to keep things simple 2nd time round.

@Cardigansalltheway and @Netcam your beautiful jumper dresses have reminded me I have a White Co one tucked away. But I think I have missed my opportunity to wear it since the weather here in Cornwall is now beautifully spring like. Next year....!

The valley looked very pretty in the frost as I drive to work this morning. I suppose that makes having to scrape the windscreen worthwhile.

Jacket: Hobbs
Blouse & jeans: M&S
Belt: Mint Velvet
Boots: Dune

Yesterday was great. Got a ring ( no way anything like a traditional ring as they all looked so wrong to us, too shiny) and spent far too much time and money in Liberty. Had a lovely time perusing the designer clothes and bags! DH suitably bored by it all. Had dim sum at what used to be our favourite place before DD got sick and visited the national gallery to compare their offering with the Musée d’Orsay and bought books. Very odd to be a stone’s throw from
my old office in Whitehall and not nip in! It was all in all a fab day though spoiled a bit by rain on and off. Will show ring in my birthday which is April and the APC bag that DH approved

had a Sézane order arrive yesterday and was a bit disappointed by colours being utterly unlike those online. Keeping shoes for sure but going to decide on the dress when it’s not so cold!

it’s cold! We have frost
jumper:knitted by me
jeans: raey
high tops: veja
tee under: Sézane
Random Pic of my favourite dim sum

What's the name of the dim sum place @Sooverthemill ? I'm always in search of perfect dim sum when i make city forays!

I like that top @Greyhairwarmheart.

Gap linen shirt, old Topshop ovoid trousers and custom Converse lifts that I got this time last year, I think.

Thanks for the dress love everyone! I was actually considering putting it in the charity shop bag as I've had it for years and it's quite itchy to wear without a long sleeved tee underneath but I have now reconsidered!

Lol re the doors @countrypunk. They are old reclaimed ones which sounds lovely but in practice the wood seems to be very "soft" (if there is such a thing!) and has been subjected to extended cat scratching over the years. They definitely don't stand up to close scrutiny!

That sounds like a wonderful day out @Sooverthemill.

V jealous of both your spring-like weather (still freezing here up North!) and of the fact that you're in Cornwall @faffadoodledo - one of my favourite places in the world!

Roll neck: M&S
Fleece: Urban Outfitters
Jeans and boots: H&M

Yes, definitely jealous of Sping like weather. It's a bit of a mix here in East Anglia, -1 last night and frost this morning, sun is out at the moment but rain is forecast for later. Been wearing my ancient grey White Stuff leggings and a grey long sleeved top for exercise and housework this morning, need to figure out what to put on now as I will be outside all afternoon. Ordered another batch of different summer trousers to try from Arket, Monki and Seasalt so let's see if I can find anything suitable there. I'm motivated at the moment to try and get my body in better shape in the knowledge that my limbs will soon be exposed to the public! Even stronger motivation after seeing myself in all the Summer trousers I tried which were really unflattering. Also ordered a few overshirt/shacket type things from Arket, Monki and Levis that I might be able to wear over t-shirts or tank tops for both sun and flab protection. Most of it will probably go back, but it would be great if I could find a few suitable summer items.

Rushing between meetings, lol, so logged in to see all your lovely outfits today. I’m in a dress from somewhere I can’t remember and my old faithful Dune boots.

Dressed to brave the elements

Everyone looking great as usual, it's warmer here and I think it's meant to be even warmer tomorrow, so I'm hoping that spring has finally sprung, I've got clothes that need wearing 😁
Anyway today I've said sod it and am doing spring anyway!
Blazer- bohoo something stupid like £8 in the sale
Dress- lofty mom frida kahlo
Mary janes- asos

Very springlike @Puddinandpie - beautiful colours!

It’s London Chinatown on the main Chinatown drag. We go because in the 80s a friend who was brought up in Hong along and spoke Cantonese always went there. It’s a bit touristy now but Chinese people were in there!

@Netcam where are you in East Anglia. I am Southwold

I love Southwold, what an amazing place to live. We used to go on holiday there when the kids were little. We are just outside Cambridge. Just got home, it started raining as I got in the car but I was dry all day.

What an amazing dress, does that have pictures of (or by) Frida Kahlo on it @Puddinandpie?
