Fashion chat- Dressed up or down??? All welcome!!

SugarSpun

Haven't been dressed for a couple of weeks after the hitchhiker was removed from my abdomen - I've been mostly wandering around the apartment in a nursing bra and pajama bottoms.

Today, however, I am wearing khaki capri pants and a blue vest. This would be extremely unremarkable - except that they're both pre-maternity. You are all at liberty to pretend you don't see my muffin top.

*is another one who loves winter* I was going through my wardrobe looking for clothes for Istanbul and discovered all my old wintry clothes, and suddenly remembered how much I missed them!

Anyhoo, today I am wearing:

- Mid blue scoop neck cardigan with crochet detail at shoulders (Dorothy Perkins)
- Paler blue scoop neck half sleeve top (Dorothy Perkins)
- Blue knee length skirt with patchwork pattern of tartan and small flowers (Dorothy Perkins)
- Electric blue sequin pumps with white toes (Office)

You can tell I shop at Dorothy Perkins a lot can't you? But today just felt like a 'clashy' day...

In work until half five, then home to job hunt and do laundry before going away this weekend.

Have a good day everyone!

noooooooooooooooooooooooo

I hate winter!!! The dark evenings, the cold, the rain and wind, the need to wear shoes and socks (I love having the air circulating around my feet, would go barefoot if I could). The dark evenings (and mornings!) are the worst though.

OK so it has a few good points (cosy woollens, open fires, comfort food etc), but I'd be happy with about a month of winter and then back to summer. I love summer. What's not to love? Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh...

Tan leather plaited belt
Tan leather gladiators

Congratulations! Lovely name by the way.

Congratulations, SugarSpun. Loving new bubba's name!

Hope you are all well. It's warm and dry here but no sunshine and I'm hoping my V Festival weekend stays like this instead of the usual freezing cold mudbath that is Weston Park!

I've changed out of this morning's hippy embroidered baby doll top and vintage flares and am wearing my rather fab strappy black cotton jumpsuit with a retro pink heart print I snaffled from the sample stall on the market earlier (£3). Out on the town later and have decided upon a black and cream embroidered shift dress with a purple mirrored panel (another sample stall find) teamed with black leggings (pressie) and TopShop "Russo" statement platforms (£8 sale buy).

I'm not liking all this winter talk. I'm busy photographing some crazy 1980's coats and jackets for eBay this afternoon and shall be perusing the internet later this week for some India-bound flights.

Enjoy whatever you're all up to!

Congrats SugarSpun!!!

goanmad, I agree. Please no more winter talk till mid-September! Where in India do you like to visit? I want to go again sometime.

Tara - I'm still undecided at the mo. We've been invited to stay with relatives of a guy we know on Daman Island in Gujjarat so might start there but also tempted with Amritsar up in the Punjab. India's such a vast place and even after 13 visits I've only scratched the surface. Ideally we'd love to spend at least 6 months travelling next year but my parents seem to be getting really frail and I do feel guilty swanning off.
Qatar Airways have got some amazing offers on at the moment.
You've obviously got an exciting trip planned with your post about anti-malarials. Where are you off to? Make me jealous! xx
