Sorry if I've missed a tag

It was stormy here this morning but mostly clear now. Still muggy though.

Top - Gap
Skirt - Uniqlo
Belt - Lacoste (via Vinted)
worn with Zara trainers

The trousers are blue and white piped @EllaPaella , I've just realised how bad so many of my previous photos have been. Sorry. I'm attaching a photo of the trousers close up. I bought it back in March, along with a brown and white piped pair. The latter have yet to be worn

We've had rain on and off for most of the day today.

Top: Jaeger (about 10 years old)
Cardigan: Boden
Trousers: Gap
Shoes: Clarks

Oh dear. Same dresses I was posting last summer are coming round again. But this one is just so darned comfy and washable and cool (in a temperature sense!)..
Jigsaw jersey dress
Havainas flip flops

@faffadoodledo that's brilliant! There's no need to get new stuff if you love what you have

Oh I know, @Sooverthemill I used to be a terror for new stuff. Not so much now (Altho I have my moments!). Aided and abetted by DD who works in the area of sustainable fashion (in an academic role). She buys barely anything g new, but is young and so looks amazing in a paper bag!

Such a late pic today, been busy trying to get clients up to date with their extensions before their hols, completely inundated now im feeling less sick!😁
My own hair could do with a good brushing, thank goodness the pics a bit grainy so you can't see the pulled through a hedge backwoods look ive got going on!
Thanks for the dress love @NotQuiteUsual 😊
Waistcoat- about 13 yrs old, from harlow market, speaking of old clothes @Sooverthemill and @faffadoodledo !
Racer back top- again about 5 years old, I think new look
Skirt- I actually can't remember where I got it from now, I think asos a few years back
Sandals- new look last year

Yesterday skirt east, rop mint velvet. Very muggy here too.

M&Co res dress I picked up in a charity shop, trying to chanel the sun back to us in the North East.

Got an exciting trip back to hospital for an ultrasound both inside and outside as something possibly dodgy was found at a CT scan recently. I’m sure i’m fine but DD is very anxious

dress for ease of access! And I’ve just ordered another colourway as I really like it

Oh @faffadoodledo i am a hypocrite

WFH today as I’m mostly in review meetings and off-camera.

T-shirt/trainers: M&S
Jeans/belt: Boden

🤣🤣🤣🥰

Good luck at the hospital

Oh good luck @Sooverthemill
Hospital visits always jangle the nerves. x

New to this thread but love the idea....

This was me on Saturday in my bargain £5 Zara dress from Vinted (new with tags)

And yes, I was feeling myself 😂

Welcome @DontBeBitterGlitter2023 - love the outfit - I’m a sucker for a Vinted bargain (though just received some shorts that were wrong on so many levels I might have to step away for a while!)

Really feeling the heat today so I’m wearing this loose linen-blend dress from Superdry with Dune sandals and Uniqlo bag.

@DontBeBitterGlitter2023 welcome, and what a cracking figure you have, fab outfit too😍
@MrsZzz love your outfit, it really suits you

I am absolutely knackered, been so busy last few days, I have not sat down and really feeling it now, I forgot how tiring it is growing a baby, I'm exactly 5 months pregnant now and getting super excited to find out the sex of the babe in a couple of weeks😁
Comfy dress today- nobody's child last year, it has pockets too, why is it that dresses and skirts with pockets are just awesome
Sandals- asos

Pockets in dresses are indeed awesome @Puddinandpie
If I wear a dress without I find I don't know what to do with my hands! I am old enough to have had a childhood being told to take my hands out of my pockets. So I now revel in plunging hands in pockets!

Welcome @DontBeBitterGlitter2023 - a very glam first look! Looking forward to seeing future outfits. It is a lovely thread to be part of

Morning all! Lovely day here in central Scotland - hope it lasts…. Love your dress from yesterday @MrsZzz. And welcome @DontBeBitterGlitter2023. This is a linen/silk mix suit from &other stories - dont wear suits much these days (covid has defo affected dress codes at work), but I really like this one. Top is a Top Shop waist coat. And yes I am in the glamorous surroundings of the toilets in my office, lol.

You definitely are the glamour in those toilets, looking amazing, as always.

As you all are, in all your lovely summer dresses

I don’t buy dresses if they don’t have pockets now!
@Purplecatshopaholic you look fab

so now you know it’s summer as I’m in my most favourite summer top which is on its 4th summer now and in the Birkenstock Arizona colour of the summer ( apparently) which you can’t get for love nor money ( really?) who knew in 2012 I’d be so fashion forward?
the shorts are new as my old white ones were too small at the moment so I sized up

I love your outfit @Purplecatshopaholic. Very chic!

I’m in the offices today, and going out for a work lunch (I’ve worked here for 15 years).

Shirt: Boden
Trousers/trainers: M&S

I’m definitely a convert to wide leg satin trousers. They hand well and are surprisingly crease-resistant. Why has it taken me so long to discover this?

Very exciting family wedding today!! Vintage designer dress from the 80s cheapy fascinator off Amazon and a cute clutch from the charity shop!

Great outfit @NotQuiteUsual - have a lovely day at the wedding!

I think it may be the last summer for this dress - I’ve had it a few years and it’s looking a bit pulled around the seams…

Dress - Apricot
Sandals - New Look
