    Oh dear - in my excitement I misspelt the thread title! I'll never get to start another one! Mods! Can you correct it for me? The shame!

    Ah thanks tara for starting the thread!! I didn't notice the spelling mistake lol

    Scorching here today, my darling boy came home late last night, smelly, tired, eye infection and huge blisters on his feet, but safe. He loved it, and we sooo missed him. Just been to do a supermarket sweep and am off to walk the dogs.

    Wearing white linen trousers(next) and pink primark vest. long strands of pink pearls and dangly earrings. Silver toe-posts from barratts.

    Have been thinking that i really need to sort out my underwear (too mismatched and haphazard) so report back later.

    Hope goanmad and gymfiend are better today!!! xxxx

    speak later ladies

    I'm so letting the side down today, sorry girlies;)

    I am guilty of committing the ultimate fashionista sin and ...................

    wearing the same clothes I had on yesterday:eek:

    So, to explain, got up really early to take OH to the station for work, just threw on the same jeans and top as yesterday, came home sorted out my daughter for school, did some housework, flew round tesco came back, more housework and cooking just sat down at laptop, haven't had time to change yet. I am going to a meeting in the school later so will get changed later:rotfl:The good news is I washed my hair so no head scarf today:)
    Thank you for this site Martin
    The time for change has come
    Good luck for the future

    Don't worry glowgirl, I am sure that we all do it from time to time. I am completely non capsule with my new bright blue dress which I do love and it was half price in the sale for 15 euros and I was so bored of all my clothes (have I justified the purchase enough?) Okay I will describe it. It is a tunic shape and finishes about 2 inches above knees:eek:, like I said it is bright blue and has a kind of Peruvian feel:confused: as there are loads of different colours embroidered all over the front in pretty flowers in yellos,purple, pink. I also bought a wooden bangle which has the same colours so I am looking kind of ethnicy for a change.

  • I like the misspelt title, it's very Ab Fab: "We're fah-shionistas darling, dontcha know?" (Not that we aren't a classy bunch anyway of course...)

    Today I am wearing:

    - Black scoop neck dress with blue flowers on it, bought in the Dotty P website sale for a bargainous 13 quid (down to 15 from 30 and then student discount on top) and absolutely love
    - Black New Look Mary Jane shoes with kitten heel
    - Usual jewellery - silver initial necklace, silver ring, amber and silver earrings, silver watch
    - Small brown leather bag

    It is too hot here, I feel like I’m melting :( I’ve had a headache which has been coming and going for the past three days because of the mild weather. I am tired and I feel pretty rubbish in all honesty – roll on 4.30pm!

    Today I am wearing:

    Black skirt with white flowers on it £5 Ebay
    Black v neck top - £1.47 Primark
    Black wedge sandals Peacocks £12

    Couldn’t be bothered to accessorise this morning :lol:

    Hello ladies! Some lovely outfits again. I love the sound of your new purchase, eyeonspain.

    Definately a bit better this morning, thanks for all your kind messages. :A Went to yoga earlier thinking it would either be kill or cure. The 1mile walk back has nearly killed me. Haven't managed to eat today.

    Not a very stylish number for walking and exercising but here goes:

    Long TopShop marbled white vest with "Woodstock" black and white screenprinted photograph (local factory over-make market stall £4.99)
    Black ribbed TopShop vest (not the same one as yesterday, at least 5 years old)
    Vintage black "EverLast" tracksuit bottoms with "Only in Ibiza" spray-painted on one leg, rolled up to 4inches above the ankle (20p jumble sale)
    Gladiator sandal boots (£3 India)
    Vintage Russell and Bromley tan and khaki leather despatch bag with studwork (50p jumble sale)
    Indian silver bangles and rings
    Bamboo hoop earrings (50p charity shop)

    Hair - roughly caught up behind one ear and plaited down one side and ots and lots of Benetint to make me look less grey!

    Gonna spend the afternoon listing on eBay and shall attempt a bit of fruit. xx

    Hellooo everyone!!:hello:

    I'm back!!

    Love this new thread! What a great idea!

    Had lovely hols, despite some crazy mixed up weather (thunderstorms nearly every day......in Greece....in June :confused:???????)
    Still got lots of sunshine and nice tan and feeling well relaxed!! No work til Wed/ Thurs so sorting out at home day today.

    Legs are brown so wearing the M&S white linen shorts (which I washed out at night and wore nearly EVERY day on hols!!), bright orange Per Una Tee Shirt and matching toe nails! Lime beaded flip flops.

    Trying to catch up on all the posts, between chores!!

    Edit to say, trying to catch up on all chores between reading posts!

    Afternoon ladies,

    In the office today and it is SO hot, can't stand it!

    Wearing:
    Black linen trousers - Primark £8 - think they're ok for that price but don't feel very sturdy
    White vest (Primark - £1.50) - to cover my cleavage! Other top is too low :)
    Purple oversized vest bought in HK for less than £2
    Black Havaiana flip flops
    No jewellery today aside from the usual rings & necklace, feeling a bit lazy!

    Going to a second viewing on a house after work so will switch into something a bit smarter quickly before, I want them to take me seriously when I put in my offer!!

    p.s. feeling a lot better today thanks everyone :)
