Brrrr, too cold, what you go on?

Today was working in the am and had a meeting with SLT in a school.

I wore,
claret textured tights, Plumo
Black jersey basics dress- H&M I rather live in these
Worn under, cashmere vest- Brora
Navy slouchy blazer- Zara
Black suede boots- Clarks originals
Huge Cashmere scarf wrapped around my neck.

Hair is in a bun, and I have a longish Claudia Winkleman style fringe, and today I have muted orange/peach nail polish on from Top Shop.

I felt quite nice, and I like the cold. What have you got on?

Your outfit sounds lovely nil. I've been wfh today, I would normally have the heating on but DH is home so I can't, so I have thermals under (New Look) jeans and a (DP) red jersey shirt, with a fluffy throw and a cat on my lap to keep me warm.

Your outfit does indeed sound lovely nil!

I'm wearing a new raspberry red cardi from Peacocks, buttoned up over a black vest with taupe J Brand skinnies, black leather jacket and huge leopard scarf. I need more raspberry red in my life, it really suits me - the cardi is a bit crap quality tbh but if you look at my face rather than directly at the cardi, it gives me a virtual facelift.

Hot, sunny day in Swansea!

I am wearing black boots, black leggings, a long sleeve black t shirt, a denim dress as worn by Katherine jenkins and bought from h&m for around £6!, a yellow floral scarf which was sold as a hijab but I wear it as a large scarf. Took my coat off it was so warm and took my daughter to Sainsburys as she finished school early, and it was very warm indeed!

I must add that my daughter is wearing these

www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004ETL1XS/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21

They arrived this morning before she went to schools and they are fabulous! I am thirty five years too old for them and they are not in keeping with my style but they look fantastic! The underneath of them has white bones!

My daughter looks like Boy George when he first appeared on Top of the Pops, multi coloured dreads, beads in her hair and bright blue patterned teeny tiny shorts worn over black tights, a rolling stone t shirt and one of my old coats, a kind of Navajo Indian affair! She looks fab!

Navy blue tights (New Look)
Batwing Black & grey patterned dress from chazzer that was originally from Apricot

Can't wait to get my winter boots on!

Nilbyname, do your Clarks boots still look nice after a few wears? I'm always a bit dubious about keeping suede looking nice - although I love the style of the boot!

nilbyname · 10/10/2013 19:25

totally get you with your pic links!

carol yes the boots are wearing well, and are so so comfortable.

I really really want a cashmere cardigan, just not found the right shape yet.

Thank you. Tbh I spent most of the day with my heels kicked under the desk and my hair all over the place.

I like your H&M dress - what's the quality/length like?

Bright orange uniqlo merino v neck with muji cami

Lovely red wool coat from jigsaw

despite the howling gales on the north east coast I have been snug as a bug
