    Todays outfit is black leggings bought new, a Red Herring black cotton top with long bell sleeves and embroidery details and a George long black waterfall cardigan with a design knitted into the back, the top was 99p (I took the tag off it today) and the cardigan was £5.

    Likewise back in leggings (ahem, Work Trousers proved a Bit Tight - must do more time with Joe!), another cs fleece as it's turned a tad nippy & the trainers acquired from cs they day after I bought a new pair (d'Oh!)

    Will shortly be tugging on an army surplus parka to go axe & knife throwing with son. Back garden exercise, (all going well), emergency refresher in fence climbing to retrieve & maintaining social distance if either of us is wildly inaccurate. Motivational, that.

    Great thread.  Long time lurker here.  Missing my charity shops at the moment - more so as I’m having a clear out and no where to donate to. Ah well the bags will have to live in The boot of the car until they re open.  
    Today I wore a Topshop striped cotton jumper with River Island jeans and Jaeger leather belt  the whole outfit must have cost less than a tenner 😊

    DfV - axe throwing sounds like highly dangerous fun.

    I'm wearing the same as yesterday, no need for it to be washed, will change tomorrow.

    I'm in full charity shop garb today. Next Petite jeans & a navy v-necked jumper (not sure of the make) Think the whole lot cost me £8

    The thing about axe throwing is a big garden & a small axe & not being a complete plonker makes it strangely straightforward.
    That our target log is in front of a healthy patch of nettles focuses the mind on accuracy & short rather than long... in all seriousness, a short axe & ruthless range discipline & it’s only a bit more risky than welly wanging but hugely more fun.
    Says she, in a DPM army surplus smock with vast pockets - ideal for carrying cased secateurs on one side & a pack of ziplocs for lucky finds in another pocket. 
    Changed back into trainers for indoor wear though.

    Love the sound of the axe-throwing! Don't go near the Cheery tree though.
    I've been out for a long walk with the dogs so am currently wearing a long sleeved, waffle weave technical type top which I thought was Craghoppers but can't find the logo without stripping off, it was about £1 from a car boot sale.. Over that I am wearing a beige, red and black woolly jumper which I think is predominantly meant to be a Christmas Jumper but not necessarily so as it has stylised deer and snowflakes on it, so could signify Winter rather than Christmas, George sale about three years ago was £3. Long, navy running type leggings, the make appears to Movement Session (never noticed before} probably came from a car boot but can't remember. Socks are Gelert and were part of a birthday present a couple of years ago.  Also still wearing my merino wood reversible beanie that was £3 from a charity shop fairly recently.

    I'm seeing how long the same pair of jeggings can be worn if not going anywhere! 4 days so far. Went on a dog walk this morning and needed a warm coat and gloves. All from chazza shops of course. Keep warm!!

    Everyone sounds very snug.  It is so cold right now, just got back from a dog walk which took way longer than it should have- the dog is getting slower, I had no gloves as it was sunny when we set off but freezing in the wind by half way round and we walked up a big hill which was very open at the top. I am wearing Next Vintage Cigarette jeans £3.99, a Tu pink shirt with white polkadots and a cream cotton sort of tank top type thing, horizontal cable knit design from an Italian brand, paid £1 for this, when I went out I had my Docs on and a 50p coat, it's a mens coat from an outdoor brand I have forgotten the name of, DH and I share it.
