This ended up not working for me today. Didn't sit right, made me look bulky and I was too hot.
ASOS sweater, Gap shirt, Mint Velvet trousers and DM loafers.

I love this loafers @EnoBaby
I tried to shop for some but they don't seem to have the gold bar ones, just tasselled. Are they last year's?

itssquidstella · 29/03/2023 18:58

@EnoBaby that's a shame because it looks good in the picture. Maybe the jumper hits at the wrong place, though - I think either more obviously cropped or slightly longer would work better.

Yep, bought last year.

Layering always bothers me - it's just sensory overload and and I just fuss all day with it!

@toucaninjapan they sound ace socks. I hate feet and always suffer with dry skin 😷

@EllaPaella I’ve just noticed eleven lives have brought out a new black dress. I imagine it will be excellent quality.

Thanks softpebbles I like the look of the Izzy rib dress, definitely a contender but I was something quite fitted on the top so the other one not quite what I'm looking for.

@Fluffodils I think they are made by some local company in Nara. MIL orders them through some catalogue and apparently it's really hard to book them, you have to be fast otherwise they will be all sold out. They are also too expensive in my opinion, I got mine as a present from MIL cause there's no way I'm paying this much for socks!

We definitely need a link for these socks!

Home day today tidying up in my comfy stretchy clothes and houseboots. Smartwool merino leggings and top, Icebreaker merino hoodie, Fitflop Mukluk boots (my winter slippers).

Love that combo I really like the leggings.

toucaninjapan · 30/03/2023 00:31

Love your outfit and the way you accessorized it @Cardigansalltheway

@Rollerbird yes you can wash the socks and they wash really well! I am very pleased with them. They are quite thick though so not appropriate for summer time, but I intend to wear them around the house.

@EllaPaella I couldn't find a link to these exact socks, but I think you have something similar sold on Amazon UK.
These look like they might have similar effect and the reviews are quite good.

While I was on Amazon UK, I thought I'd share another wonderful product MIL introduced to me, namely a really cheap anti-age hand cream that makes bunging hand veins appear less visible. I wouldn't believe such hand cream could exist at first, but yep, it really does work!
Too bad it appears it's sold for a price 15 times higher than in Japan!!

toucaninjapan · 30/03/2023 02:24

Oops looked at the wrong price, it's actually "only" 7 times more expensive lol

Cardigansalltheway · 30/03/2023 07:52

I really like your outfit yesterday @EnoBaby, but there's nothing worse than being too hot!

Conversely, I'm heading into the office without a jumper or cardigan and am concerned I'll be too cold. Our aircon is highly unpredictable and you never know whether you'll freeze or roast. We'll see what today brings.

Dress: ASOS
Boots: Zara

We have a visitor from head office today. Which means I’m in default in-house legal attire.

@Rollerbird, love the funky trousers

Purplecatshopaholic · 30/03/2023 10:21

Great dress @Cardigansalltheway. And those trousers @Rollerbird! Get better soon @Sooverthemill. WFH today. All Saints dress and Missoni boots. ‘D’P looked at the dress and asked if I was channelling the Bay City Rollers! (Before my time - and his to be fair!) Apparently this dress is tartan.. I pointed out it’s actually a monochrome check… We are in Scotland, and tartan is a risky strategy, lol - you really only wear it for a wedding or a Burns Supper or if you work in a tourist gift shop!

Thanks, I have a bit of a green and yellow thing going at the moment. First it was the living room refurb, now it's moved to me.
