Thanks for your help with my skirt, hubby seemed to think it was 'too short/possibly too young' while my dad thought it was 'very me and def not too young' so as you can tell they left me totally unsure!
I was originally thinking of a possible twin set, or black top of some description, so your suggestions have been really helpful.
I was worried about looking like mutton dressed as lamb or a complete muppet:rotfl: but with your help i'm sure i wont.

Thanks again,
Squibbs x

Squibbs I'm sure you'll look lovely in it - it's such a cute skirt

piratefairy - I think the dress is really pretty but if you're not happy with it and won't wear it much then get rid.

Today I'm mostly in black but I feel quite jolly anyway. Lost another 3lbs this week, woop!

Black jeans - Evans (now very much too big but can't be bothered chucking them just yet)
Black ankle boots - Office
White vest - Dotty P's
Black thin cableknit sweater - Dotty P's (haven't fitted into it for ages but it fits now )

Well done, Alexnikov!! I'm happy too, did my weigh in this morning and have lost another 1lb..NOt that it's making much difference, but I've not been to the gym in a couple of weeks due to feeling too sick, so going to brave it this evening..Feeling positive about it though!!

Alex- congrats on the weight loss, that's fantastic

Well, after spending most of yesterday feeling utterly miserable, my day was rounded off by my other guinea pig dying of old age/missing his brother October is never a good month for me, so I'm now feeling utterly miserable.
However, have motivated myself to get up and dressed,
and when I drop the guinea pig up at the vet for cremation #2 I'm going to go on a long walk and do some window retail therapy. I want to pop in to the town hall and see if I can find any details of boot/jumble sales coming up.

Outfit:
Black and floral/printed shoulder detail dress: £15 Primark
Grey marl tights: £1.25 boots clearance
Oversize denim shirt instead of cardi: £20 New Look
Flat studded boots: £24 la redoute
Heather purple trench for going outside: £15 TK MAXX
Cream chunky knit scarf: £3.50 Primark

Just realised how expensive my outfit is, for me! Most of it was presents though, I have verrrrry indulgent grandparents


*edit*
piratefairy- congrats on your weight loss too

piratefairy

Aww, really sorry to hear about Harry, Daisybella..I hope you manage to find something to cheer you up
*hugs*

Big hugs to Daisybella, so sorry to hear more bad news, I hope you find something to cheer you up.

Alex and piratefairy - well done on the weightloss! I missed slimming world on Wednesday due to my sil's birthday, but I've not done so great lately. Back on track today and for the weekend hopefully!!

Squibbs - it is a cute skirt! I'm older than you (39) and I'd wear with opaques and boots.

Today I'm COLD!!! It's freezing in the office and I have a meeting today so had to be tidy, should have put more layers on though. So today I'm wearing:

shortish straight black dress with cream bib/collar detail - £15 Next sale
black fitted cardie - Laura Ashley, present from my parents years ago!
black opaques - Tesco, but they're not very good tbh.
black mary janes - £15 DP sale
Long black necklace - Next sale

I had a find last night!! I burgundy needle cord fitted jacket from years ago . I want some new buttons to jazz it up a bit.

Aw daisybella, I'm sorry to hear about your guinea pig.

I'm in work this morning then off to London this afternoon, so today's outfit is:

- Black fitted shirt with short puff sleeves (Dorothy Perkins)
- Black wrap style pencil skirt (Dorothy Perkins)
- Black Mary Jane shoes (M&S)
- Sheer tights (M&S)
- Electric blue trench coat (New Look) to come into work

In work until at least one o'clock depending how much I have to do, then off to London (possibly making a shop-based detour when I have to change trains) to see my boyfriend. No plans for tonight though other than chilling out at his flat.

Have a good Friday and enjoy your weekend everyone!
