Sorry - the app hasn't remembered any of my tags other than the above 👆 apologies

Good luck @toucaninjapan . Such a shame for the company to lose you over duff manager. Did they give you a plate of bacon as a leaving gift? is that a japanese thing? Or am i seeing that wrong??

3 days at once sunday to today mainly jeans and jumpers at the moment, it’s too chilly to think about anything else but those hush cords are ace

the two jumpers are handknitted, the one with the little y is my Xmas jumper but he yarn is very itchy so I need to do something about that. The blue one I finished a couple of months ago but need to shorten a bit and do something with the sleeves! But it’s comfy so I’m wearing it even with the ends dangling

Good luck with the new job @toucaninjapan.

I think it is close enough to Christmas for sequins in the office! Jumper/skirt are M&S. Boots are an old faithful pair from Celtic & Co.

Lovely outfits everyone- gorgeous sequin skirt @OublietteBravo

Thank you everyone! I'm starting my new role in January (currently on my annual leave).

@faffadoodledo oh that's a photo from a Korean bbq restaurant, you know, the type where you cook the meat yourself, we had a farewell lunch with the team.

Enjoy the Christmas break @toucaninjapan
Today I'm wearing Toast jumper & ribbed black midi skirt (Vinted)

Just FYI ladies: there are some men lurking on this thread. o_o

I had an amazing day today going to my favorite bookstore, a lovely cafe and doing a bit of window shopping. The weather is beautiful and some trees are blossoming. I'm also wearing my bracelet from Mikimoto for the first time this winter (a present from MIL), it's so pretty and I feel happy just looking at it

@toucaninjapan did you get a message from him too?! I wonder if messaging randomly on Mumsnet ever works? Enjoy your annual leave and good luck with the new job.

I'm in 90s clothes today. They sell 90s stuff in the vintage section now. How depressing is that? I'm older than clothes marked as vintage.

@NotQuiteUsual yeah, the "parrot" guy. 🙄

@toucaninjapan yes that's the one who messaged me. I suppose if you've exhausted tinder and bumble the next best place to find women is Mumsnet.

What a weirdo! I was wondering what that all meant. Take care everyone.

Yesterday dress white stuff, cardigan M&S

Another day in the office. There are two large cranes on site moving a tank, so I can’t currently get to the canteen. Which means no coffee!

Top/trainers: M&S
Jumpsuit: Whistles

Counting down to the end of the week, lol. Enza Costa dress - it’s got a slight sparkle to it so thought it quite Christmassy. Was picking between the beige Tory Burch boots or the cream Terry de Havilland (went with the beige).

There's also a thread in tattle where I'm sorry to say they mock some of your lovely outfits

Thanks @kimchio. We know we feature on Tattle. It's been a fairly long running and tedious jape of people on there. Were they school bullies in former lives I wonder?
I love seeing everyone's outfits. There's @Purplecatshopaholic looking more glamourous on a normal work day than I could muster on a big night out; @Greyhairwarmheart looking beautifully well put together every day of the week (how??); @OublietteBravo and @EllaPaella looking effortlessly cool; @toucaninjapan with her quirky Japanese twists on her Great British style; @Sooverthemill and her amazing knitwear and enviable jeans collection; @NotQuiteUsual and her vintage style. I've learned loads from you lot and more (sorry I haven't mentioned so many others - I only managed to tag from this page. Plus there are too many beautiful and supportive women on here!).

Those on tattle are welcome to criticise. I don't think any of us who enjoy putting outfits together do so without knowing it will inevitably divide opinion sometimes. Shame they don't come offer some actual constructive criticism though! I can imagine we're all very open to it.

Blue Bailey dress I charity shopped and a vintage hoody.

The Tattle saddos are back are they - yawn. Love that sequined skirt @OublietteBravo - picking up an online order there later, its reminded me to check out the clothes while there.
Last department meeting of the year - team have been awesome and we all need a rest, lol. Looking forward to relaxing with my doggos while the office is closed. Dress is Simon Miller - love it, so comfy and I love the colour! Boots are old Schuh ones.

@faffadoodledo ❤️

Lots of green today, I've thrown a red scarf on later to give that Christmas tree look

Here's a big friendly wave to all the Tattle haters 👋 and hope they all have a lovely Christmas and a slightly less bitter New Year. Peace and Love.
❤️

Loving the green combo @toucaninjapan
Lovely dress @Purplecatshopaholic

I've finished work for Christmas 🎅🏻 marvellous 🤩 Just about to pour myself a large glass of something fizzy.

Hi everyone....Merry Xmas! I've been away again, except this time im doning a new boot....I've only gone and broken my ankle 4 weeks after baby girlypuddin arrived and right before bloody Xmas, I could scream I feel bloody annoyed! But I'm just gonna try and enjoy Xmas with the clan and get a tit bipsy🍹along the way!😒🥳 wishin' everyone lovely xmases you all look great! And hoping 🎅 brings you lovely goodies!🎁🎄

Aww @Puddinandpie what a nightmare! Hope it’s not too sore - agree wine will help. Hope wee Puddin is thriving.

@Purplecatshopaholic yes agreed lots of wine😁, girlypuddin is defo thriving, she's quite the madame even at 7 weeks old, she's got everyone wrapped round her tiny finger😊

Hello there!

Just wanted to say you guys are such an inspiration to me, one of these days, I’ll be brave enough to join in.

@Puddinandpie I love your style and have missed your posts so was gladdened to see that baby puddin is safely here and already bossing it in the fashionista stakes!
I’m so sorry to hear of your injury but you gave me a new username, cheers 🥂😂
Hope you have a fantastic Christmas with your family.

@toucaninjapan please may I ask what are those bottles in the background?
You always look incredible too - Cool Britannia with a quirky twist 👌🏻

@Purplecatshopaholic I’m so envious of all your fabulous dresses and boots and your dogs are 😍

@NotQuiteUsual You are Vintage Queen! So jealous of your amazing finds and how you put it all together 👏🏻

@HorribleHisTories15 You are just too cool for school, classic yet understated - love!

@EllaPaella and @OublietteBravo Style Icons, you both just always look so effortlessly chic 🤩

@faffadoodledo another style queen, who just manages to “throw things together’ but looks ace, instead of like someone (ahem) who looks like they’ve had a fight with their wardrobe… and lost 🙈

@Sooverthemill and @Greyhairwarmheart best knitwear collections ever! So talented too.

Wishing a merry Christmas to you all 🎅🏻🎄

@Puddinandpie I'm so sorry about your leg, wish you a speedy recovery. Your little one is cuteness overload ❤️

@TitBipsy hello there! There's an army of barley tea bottles behind me. I hate when we run out of tea so I'm stocking up for the NY break. I know they are not the best room decoration but I prefer to store them in this room as opposed to the places DH proposed

I'm not sure I like the fit of mom and straight jeans on me. I know it's an unpopular opinion but whenever I look at them (on myself or on other people), they just seem to visually add kilos to the lower part of the body. I'm still to figure out why people call them flattering!
