I haven’t bought much summer stuff this year but am seriously hacked off at how few times I’ve worn a summer dress!

toucaninjapan · 08/08/2023 11:16

@evtheria thank you:)

Another nursery run outfit today. Well strictly speaking it's the 2nd outfit for today, I went grocery shopping on my break and if you go out, you sweat so much in this heat that you just throw clothes in the wash right after you come home. Really wish I had a little bit of those magical Japanese genes that keep you from sweating. I don't understand how on earth there are so many people like my husband who never wear any deodorant and they don't seem to sweat at all (and they don't smell even a tiny bit! wtf is this sorcery) and I'm melting each time I set my foot outside.
Jealous of everyone's cool weather, I don't really like summers!

So cold today. And raining again. I also haven’t bought many summer clothes @Sooverthemill. The early A/W stuff isn’t looking terribly promising. Lots of brown. Which I seem to recall having a bit of a moment around 1996, and just can’t see that it’s due a revival.

Shirt: Brora (via eBay)
Trousers/trainers: M&S

Into the office today, it's raining for a change, but the temperatures haven't dropped one bit.

I've fallen in love with this blouse after seeing it on @Sooverthemill . And I've loved it so much I have a maxi dress in the same print now too

Our weather is sunny and about 20o at last - that's about as good as the Scottish summer gets! Yesterday dress white stuff, cardigan fat face. Tights off again at last!

I’m enjoying swishing around in my skirt today. Although I might have misjudged the number of layers - the office aircon is especially arctic today.

Shirt: Boden
Skirt: M&S
Trainers: Jigsaw

Chilly today! Grrr. Had a funny turn and put on a trouser suit, lol. It’s from &Other Stories - I love their pieces. Top was in a sale from Chloe’s diffusion line - can’t remember the name. Boots are from Schuh.

I keep forgetting to take photos lately! Tattoopani dress today. Looks very grey out so I'm off to buy some tights since mine are all laddered.

Touristy t shirt for me today. Forgot to take a pic in the mirror while I still had my outfit on, but here's a photo of it on the floor instead

I am heartily sick of the mist and murk here. I've been watching the sea fog roll up and down our valley for the last two days. Yet it's muggy.
DD is coming home on Saturday and I desperately want some sunshine for her since it's her actual holiday and I could do with some beaching weather myself.

Jigsaw trousers (very baggy and I don't like them so think I'll donate to a more appreciative home)
Celtic jumper
(New) Birkenstock slippers

27° today, 🥵 and it sure felt like it! Finished work at lunchtime and took DS to the park where we walked and sweated (did sweat? swot?). I wore some beige runner shorts and a plain T-shirt for that, which had to go in the wash as soon as we got home.

It's been this dress for the rest of the day, no special reason but like @Sooverthemill I'm annoyed I've not gotten usage out of it this year. Pull & Bear, found at TK Maxx.

Purplecatshopaholic · 10/08/2023 19:29

Awesome dress @evtheria. Had a mad turn a while ago and decided my life would only be complete if I added lime green suede into it, so bought this skirt! It’s Jigsaw. I can’t wear it a lot as it’s quite noticeable (well that and I am too scared to eat while wearing it, lol). Top is also Jigsaw. Boots from Schuh and duster coat from All Saints.

@Purplecatshopaholic those boots are fab!

It's so grey but warm here..I still don't know what weather to dress for so here's to layers again.

OublietteBravo · 11/08/2023 10:30

I love the skirt @Purplecatshopaholic. it’s beautiful.

Overcast and windy today. Clearly sunny weather is going to continue to be a rarity this year. Entire outfit from M&S.

Purplecatshopaholic · 11/08/2023 11:13

Wow, it’s hot. And really muggy. I’m not going to complain, beggers can’t be choosers re Scottish weather, lol. WFH today with no (planned!) meetings, accompanied by panting doggies and snoozing cats. Slip dress is an impulse buy from ASOS, with flats from Tommy Hilfiger.

faffadoodledo · 11/08/2023 13:38

Wow @Purplecatshopaholic that skirt! I did see it in jigsaw and quietly fell in love myself. But I could never rock it like you! Great investment

Greyhairwarmheart · 12/08/2023 07:58

Gorgeous skirt @OublietteBravo . Thursday skirt Laura Ashley, top white stuff, cardigan phase eight.

Hi all - I posted once or twice, trying to be more frequent on taking photos of what I wear but I keep forgetting!

Loving everybody's outfits and also commiserating on the weather - feel like I've waited all winter, I've got some beautiful summer dresses to wear, yet it's August and still in fleeces, hoodies and jeans :(

Had a meeting at work and wore this with black New Balance with gold bits on - the trousers were Uniqlo but I've lost weight since I bought them and even with a belt they're ridiculous.. the t-shirt I think was either Zara or &OtherStories this year.

Excuse the head phones - I was about to leave to get on the train and they're the only way I can cope with it !

dgirluk · 12/08/2023 09:22

(or maybe I'd just got home, based on the crumples!!!!)

OublietteBravo · 12/08/2023 11:45

Just about warm enough to be out and about in a T-shirt. Although I think I’ll have to get changed, as cream dungarees and cleaning the kitchen/bathroom don’t really go together!

T-shirt: Primark
Dungarees: Hush
Trainers: Mint Velvet
