Wore my naice stuff today as I had a birthday meal, I’m mostly high street normally.

What a great idea! I doubt anyone would realise it was from the kids section unless you told them - it’s a very cute dress.

It Def is worth veering into the kids section every so often (and that's a very cute dress!). I find the men's section good for a few bits too.

Undies-yes!
Primark fluffy socks-£2
Primark fur lined black leggings-£7
Primark long sleeved top-£4
(And again!) Primark red, white and black stripey jumper-£8
Tu black corduroy pinafore dress-£3(Vinted)
New Look black knee high boots -£30 sale
(Coat was from Dotty Ps and 15 yrs old)

My favourite T shirt is from the H&M teenage boys department, a boxy shape with a geeky design which I couldn't resist while shopping for DS, cost me about a tenner.

Most of the socks that DH and I wear are ones DS has grown out of.

@Isitfridayyetsophie we are having two Christmas events this year - full fam on 21st and just us plus my parents on the day. I will be dressing (by my standards) for both! These days, the only place I can manage heels is at home. I'll be doing heels/fancy loafers, Frankie Shop skirt on one day, silk shirts (once the food is sorted and spitting fat no longer a risk), painted nails and glam jewellery (Philippe Ferrandis), all the better to hold the Villeroy and Bosch martini glasses. In fact, I have to up my hand cream application to prepare, as my hands are suffering from the current bout of DIY and gardening.

@weareallcats my hair will hide the bow I think, anyway it’s a bit different for me!

@henlake7 I’ll definitely look now I know I fit in to the M&S sizes.am tempted to check out Zara now! A whole new world of shopping opportunities!

@BadForBusiness and boy’s section too! Wouldn’t have thought to look but I will now!

@BigSkies2022 this sounds like great fun and love the idea of 2 Christmases, outfits and accessories sound lovely. Love villeroy and boch too!

I had total getting dressed fatigue this morning, looked at my clothes and just thought meh. All I’m doing is a kid’s music class that’s Christmas themed and we came home via the park!

Have ended up in:
Zara jeans- £40
H&M long sleeve top- £10
Primark Christmas jumper- £10 about 15 years ago
Toteme jacket- £700 ish, I’ve forgotten

I had total getting dressed fatigue today, as well - though it's a lot more usual for me and the outcome's less stylish 😏 Remembered a thick, cable-patterned, cocoa-brown acrylic sweater dress I got for £4.50 from my favourite cheapskate store, everything5pounds, and am wearing it with some huge, fluffy Christmas socks someone must have given me at some point. Total £4.50.

I've now added £150 worth of my random gold rings and am always wearing £26 of gold ear studs (three of these, but with a screw-on ball instead of a butterfly).

Loveee the dress @Isitfridayyetsophie !

The problem is I have a gyno problem which means I can’t wear anything tight near my crotch area. So no jeans, tight fitting trousers etc. leggings are ok as they are stretchy. That’s why if I’m at home I’m usually wearing PJs. I gave up jeans about 3 years ago when my problems started. It’s a bit of a pain - I miss them!!

I have a meeting at DCs (crazy hot) school later so will change into a new outfit for that

@happytobemrsg oh no! FWIW I always look forward to seeing your posts when you do manage to 🙂 To be fair I'd be happy with an all-PJs thread, they always make me feel so cozy and jealous to read!

@weareallcats fab dress!

Today is lots of errands/school runs and life admin. I'm going to Paris tomorrow (must leave personal Credit Card behind!) for work which I've stupidly booked the first Eurostar out/early evening return to minimise childcare I needed to find. Regretting that now, as I try to find a chic yet comfy outfit to wear for 18 hours out of the house 😂
