Fashionistas daily, Wednesday 24th June.

Hope no-one minds, couldn't find a thread for today so started this one.
Today I'm wearing French Connection low back charcoal t-shirt (£12 sale). French Connection long flares (£34 sale) and will wear my white wedges.
I have an orange metalicy nairlvarnish on my toes.
I'm really dehydrated today as my pillow marks won't leave my face. I was a good girl last night and did a 1/2 hour core muscle workout (and nearly died!). I've still got a fair bit of catching up to do and will be starting 6 nights tomorrow so don't know when I can fit it in then.
I think one morning I will give it a try and see if it does keep me awake. If not then I'll do it before bed in the mornings.
Look forward to hearing some nice outfits ladies!

    Was just looking out for this thread so thanks Kaz for starting it :D Have to sneak my posting in quick before I start working properly!

    Well done on the exercise Kaz, I'm gym obsessed usually but keep having fits and starts at the moment and struggling to go :( Thankfully OH usually drags me there kicking and screaming!!

    Today I'm wearing:
    Topshop skirt in a stone colour - it's mid thigh and has cute little ruffles around the top and a belt made from the same material
    Topshop black top with tie under bust - really getting wear out of this, great considering it cost me 99p in a charity shop!!
    Black leggings from Gap, absolutely ancient, must've had them for 5 years but they keep their shape perfectly - my tip to anyone in the market for leggings is always Gap, I've had pairs from everywhere else imaginable and none compare
    Shoes are the same black pumps with studs from Office as yesterday
    Jewellery is the usual Monica Vinader necklace (never take this off - a gift from OH and I'm a bit sentimental about it!) & my Marc Jacobs heart/watch necklace, same gold vintage watch as usual and usual rings.
    Bag is my LeSportsac :)
    No jumper/coat today as it's meant to be scorching, woo hoo!

    I love the skirt I'm wearing today but had totally forgotten about it til I started clearing out - think I'm getting toward a capsule now!

    I'm in the office today then straight to the gym after and a lazy night at home with OH so will be wearing PJ's my 8pm :D

    Have a lovely day everyone, looking forward to reading all about your outfits :)

    Morning girls!

    Today I am wearing floral linen skirt from Monsoon (£15 second hand from Ebay) and a red stretchy top . If I go out I will add white sandals and white leather bag I think.

    Last night we were down at the sea having a drink and I saw a woman who looked beautiful! She was maybe late 50's or early 60's and had on white wide leg trousers, a red and white stripy top, red long-line cardi with short sleeves and red ballet pumps. Honestly, she looked amazing and I thought how refreshing it was to see an older woman not making the mistake of wearing dull , lifeless colours!

    I really need to get a pedicure....hmmm, how to choose a beautician as I haven't used one since we moved here? I guess I'll just have to try one and see what she is like!

    Kaz, your outfit sounds lovely! Have a good day whatever you're all up to ;)

    ooo, can I join? I went through my wardrobe at the weekend, took half a ton of clothes to the dry cleaner- not very MSE but I did get a discount :cool:

    I now have a capsule work wardrobe (not really got stuck into my casual clothes yet)- basics are now grey, black, dark purple.....

    Today I am wearing:

    grey pencil skirt (very snug, think I must have put on a couple of lbs!) from Oasis sale a few months ago £20.

    black fine knit short sleeved jumper from FC about 5 years ago but fab quality as it has stayed in shape and retained colour.

    black cardigan- DKNY- had for about 5 years and I wear it all the time and still get comments about it. Office is air conditioned to arctic conditions :rolleyes:

    skinny black belt- "borrowed" from my mother :D

    black and white ballet pumps- Chanel (I have a serious shoe "thing", hence the username) these are just for dashing about the office, I have some super high heels for meetings hiding under my desk.

    Accessories- just wedding and e-ring, forgot to put necklace and earrings on this morning!

    Looking forward to all your outfits!
    Saving for an early retirement!

    Morning folks....I was overtaken by a sudden urge to do some ironing before I went to work, so didn't get onto the PC! Thanks for starting us off Kaz - I don't think we'll be precious about who does it!

    Today I'm wearing
    Black linen wide leg trousers (Next clearance sale last year)
    Black & white striped sleeveless top (Dotty P via charity shop)
    Fine 3/4 sleeve black cardi (no label, can't remember as I've had it ages!)
    Cream leather slip-ons (Asda)

    See you later....x

    Black and What? striped top? I'd love to know what you typed to have it blanked out like that Floss2!

    I'm just checking out my ebay stuff and I'm up to £17.92. Then there's P&P on top. I'm so excited :j, the money can pay for the new wheel that we now need :rolleyes: after DH hit a pot hole in the blimmin road :mad:.
    I tell you, I don't know why we bother paying road tax. Blimmin shysters, I bet they don't get their cars wrecked driving around the crummy roads cause they have chauffeurs

    I am so intrigued to know what colour Floss2's top is!

    My guess is "white" but with an typo (s instead of a w) :D
