@Spooce lovely outfit and welcome!

hamster update: treated and home again and has pain meds and antibiotics and DD is now £165 poorer! He had tooth issues

faffadoodledo · 30/05/2023 16:40

Love that little jacket @EllaPaella
And hamsters are martyrs to their teeth as I recall, @Sooverthemill . We had them when the children were young. And they infuriated me because it was me who had to do all the cage cleaning!

faffadoodledo · 30/05/2023 16:42

@Purplecatshopaholic that's a lovely dress.
@Spooce - welcome aboard. This is a lovely thread to be part of.

Please could I (nervously) join? Enjoying a white t-shirt today, away from the kids and their always sticky hands!

Hi! Love a white T-shirt day 😁 That skirt looks so airy and light!

Puddinandpie · 30/05/2023 19:50

@HorribleHisTories15 love that red skirt it's lush
@Spooce welcome, love that skirt really pretty
@Purplecatshopaholic looking fab as always
@EllaPaella such a cool outfit 😎

I'm having an I just can't be arsed day today so no pics from me, got a stressful day tomorrow so kicking back today!

Spooce · 30/05/2023 19:51

Thanks! It was a godsend on a roasting hot work day today!

Sooverthemill · 31/05/2023 08:43

An extremely fuzzy photo today
its bloody freezing again and I’m am so pissed off. I’d like a bit of sunshine please

going for coffee with a neighbour ( that’s how exciting my social life is) before DH goes away again for another 5 nights

the jacket is an eBay bargain an agolde jacket still available at £300 plus which I got for £5. Trying to decide if it suits me ( it's massively oversizes and this is the smallest size) if not i will sell on. have to try with a load of different outfits

@faffadoodledo yeah they have a reputation for tooth issues but we have had 6 and this is the first one with a problem. It was probably caused by being kept in poor housing when he was tiny. We rescued him last year and he lives in splendour now.

OublietteBravo · 31/05/2023 09:15

@Sooverthemill - it was so cold in my office yesterday that I ended up wearing a hoodie, a fleece scarf, and a coat. And my hands/feet were still cold.

Purplecatshopaholic · 31/05/2023 10:34

Glad to hear hamster is on the mend @Sooverthemill. Hope you are keeping well @Puddinandpie. I am in my office again today - some challenging meetings later. Hope the sunshine puts people in an amenable mood, lol. Shoes are Michael Kors and the linen dress is from a European label I got from Wolf and Badger. Cat is Models Own, lol

Sooverthemill · 31/05/2023 12:40

@OublietteBravo look at this! Why are we having such a cold time?

WAYWT summer 2023
OublietteBravo · 31/05/2023 13:11

I’m wearing 4 layers. In the office. It’s currently 13C outside (or 11C if you take windchill into account). It feels like October.

faffadoodledo · 31/05/2023 13:23

My sympathies @OublietteBravo and @Sooverthemill
It's overcast here today but promises sun later, and forecast is pure ☀️ for the next few days.
Pinafore dress from Dublin boutique
Breton from an actual chandlery (I remember buying my first Breton as a teen in 1983. You had to go to a chandlery then - no such thing as Boden!)
Shoes - Clark's.

It’s very grey here today too…

My outfit’s a repeat I’m afraid but with the addition of my new favourite thing - a handheld clothes steamer! Doing these pics has shown me how often my clothes are creased and what a difference it can make (but who has the time/energy/space to iron everything every day???)

top: Mint Velvet (via Vinted)
jeans: M&S
bag: charity shop (originally Tu)

I have been steadily adding layers as the day progressed.

Cardigan: Boden
Tank top: Cos
Shirt: Brora
Trousers: M&S
Trainers: Jigsaw

It's also cold here @Sooverthemill , I feel your frustration. I keep hearing on the radio that there is warm weather this week, especially in Scotland. Loved your dress yesterday @Purplecatshopaholic , it really suited you, and you have another really nice one on again today!

Really cute pinafore @faffadoodledo , you have styled it nicely.

I seem to have reverted back to my uniform.

Today:
Pie crust shirt: Zara
Long sleeve top: Levi's
Jumper: Topshop
Trousers: Jigsaw

@Sooverthemill your sunshine and warm days are just around the corner, I reckon and they'll probably be really lovely and warm! Positive thinking🤞
@Purplecatshopaholic I'm soooo envious of your fab figure, lovely outfit! I'm toddling along as usual with the odd few crap days😁
@faffadoodledo you've made me realise what's missing in my life...yellow sandals😍
@MrsZzz fab bag
@HorribleHisTories15 very chic

So today I had an important meeting that I thought was going to be horrendous but turned out pretty brilliant, so I was all chuffed with myself, then I came home had some new dresses delivered and tried them on, was really happy then caught myself of guard and ended up tripping over my own shoes falling straight on an enormous stacked pile of shoe boxes on all the corners, then landing with an enormous thud right on my arse, so have spent the afternoon worrying about every single pain in my tummy and now have a huge lump and bruise on my thigh/arse!!! Honestly it's only me who would trip over my own bloody shoes while pregnant, I'm pretty sure I have fallen over in everyone of my pregnancies, my balance is pretty crap anyway and it seems to just set it off worse🙈

faffadoodledo · 31/05/2023 16:47

They're last year's @Puddinandpie
But I think they have them this year too.

Niftythrifter · 31/05/2023 17:18

Mango flare jeans and stripe cardigan
Ted Baker t
Primark canvas shoes
Debenhams min trench and a no brand name leather bag which are both from the charity shop.

evtheria · 31/05/2023 17:28

@HorribleHisTories15 I love that tiny peek of white ruffle against your navy jumper. A really chic little touch - I keep meaning to try it with mine, I have so many dark jumpers but I must buy a ruffled collar shirt first Grin

Greyhairwarmheart · 01/06/2023 07:06

Beautiful dresses @Puddinandpie and @Purplecatshopaholic . Love the pink trousers @OublietteBravo . Tuesday dress white stuff.

Rubbish we are all in warmer clothes again :(. Dull and chilly here today so shirt from next and leather pants from m&s

Purplecatshopaholic · 01/06/2023 10:44

I can confirm it’s sadly not that warm in Scotland @HorribleHisTories15, lol. We had a hint a few days ago and it’s been chilly ever since! Everyone is complaining being caught out in summer clothes and being too cold! LBD from Ghost sale with LK Bennett Mary Janes. Love this dress, so easy to wear. Just realised my mirror is shocking - please ignore smears, lol
