Just been reading a thread about "Does Appearance Matter?" and wondered what Gransnetters are wearing in lock-down? (This is meant as a lighthearted thread........hopefully it stays that way!!)

I’m wearing a turquoise square neck t shirt, turquoise, navy and white linen just-above-the-knee skirt (M&S) and navy Rieker sandals.

Good morning all. I'm wearing a blue linen shift dress with short sleeves, V neck and patch pockets. I recently bought several linen dresses from Marks and Spencer's lovely range of linen dresses. Unlike most linen, this hardly creases. On my feet, Sketcher's neutral, leather sandals.

Blue crop trousers that are about 10 years old but still look fine. Emerald v neck t-shirt. Bare feet.

I'm wearing a short orange with white flowers dress from Next. Lovely and cool. One of two I bought in the sale thinking they would be perfect for my May holiday in Lanzarote. ☹️ Oh well.

I’m wearing a white Elizabeth Arden cotton waffle dressing gown (which normally lives in the guest room) and nothing else. I got it free with something I bought for my Mum and she died 23 years ago! I just haven't had time to return upstairs to get dressed (which will be the same as my last report grin). I got waylaid by GN, breakfast & Womans Hour.

Ladies please keep it lighthearted as requested when I started this thread. It really doesn't matter if people want to say where their clothes are from or not...........grin

Puzzler61 Tue 16-Jun-20 08:03:51

Even better if you got yours in the sale! ?

Puzzler61 Tue 16-Jun-20 08:03:13

Bellasnana I believe I have same Matalan nightie I always buy from them as they’re such good value at £7 -8.

Bellasnana Tue 16-Jun-20 07:12:16

Oh dear, I don’t think ethel meant anything by her comments, I certainly didn’t take it as offensive.

I’m wearing a Matalan nightie (pink with grey spots), if anyone’s interested, bought for £4 in the sale several years ago. It’s cotton which is very comfortable in this heat.

Time to get out of it now though!

ethel you really have a bee in your bonnet about perceived bragging.
One thing I remember my dear mum saying was “if you haven’t got anything nice to say, be quiet”.

Awh thankyou * Riverwalk* blush

Callistemon Mon 15-Jun-20 22:44:31

I've been wearing socks all day.
Crazy Clarks, Australia.

Maggiemaybe Mon 15-Jun-20 22:40:06

Today I have been mainly wearing a navy and white striped dress. Boden Blackberry, if anyone’s interested. I bought three in different patterns for about £40 in their clearance maybe ten years ago.

I like a Summer frock. It saves me having to think about what goes with what. Though I have just added a fetching pair of multicoloured thick socks, as it’s got a bit chilly.

etheltbags1 Mon 15-Jun-20 22:37:03

riverwalk I'm not sour I'm amused at the importance people put on clothes. wink

etheltbags1 Mon 15-Jun-20 22:33:34

jeanainsworth. I don't care where anyone has bought their clothes from. I'm just making the point that some people like to name the brands. It seems like bragging , a lot of posters on here do brag. I was brought up not to brag. I'm not getting my knickers in a twist (asda ones btw). Are people really interested in clothing brands.confused

Callistemon Mon 15-Jun-20 22:27:15

M&S Tencel cargo pants
Bue and white White Stuff linen jersey top 2 years old which has stretched so much it would be unwearable were I going Out.

Puzzler61 Mon 15-Jun-20 18:41:03

White knee length shorts, a tomato coloured linen top and black slider mules. It’s been a very warm day in the Midlands!

Whitewavemark2 Mon 15-Jun-20 18:24:06

Off white capris and off white and blue and Pink flowered top.

BlueSky Mon 15-Jun-20 18:23:09

Exactly Janeainsworth! I did have a look at some websites that I thought were interesting. Today being very warm, I'm wearing a Kilye Minogue strappy dress I bought in the sales in Oz!

Riverwalk Mon 15-Jun-20 17:52:50

And I'm sure you look very nice in them dte in your new sylph-like state!

downtoearth Mon 15-Jun-20 17:18:18

Very nice they are too...and I did need them grin

downtoearth Mon 15-Jun-20 17:17:23

Jùst bought 2 pairs of white cropped jeggings from poundland....just sayinggrin

Riverwalk Mon 15-Jun-20 14:00:29

Oh, don't be so sour ethel

Grin all you like - I don't grin when posters talk about the cakes they've made, cruises they've been on, NT houses they've visited, all things I have little interest in.

For anyone interested, I'm wearing White Stuff grey linen trousers and an M&S navy T-shirt, and the ever-popular Skechers (pink & grey).

Kalu Mon 15-Jun-20 13:47:12

Oh, really do not like the word panties similarly, pants (trousers), purse (handbag)

Today it’s white silk knickers and matching bra
Grey jeggings, white short sleeved stepped shirt and grey loafers. Finished off with a large silver pendant on grey cord.

I won’t bother justifying my purchases as I buy what feels good on, I like it and it’s good quality which my £6/£15 collection of jeggings are, all mixed with various tops and jewellery of varying prices.

I make sure my knickers are a good fit thus, avoiding twisting?

janeainsworth Mon 15-Jun-20 13:29:56

ethel it doesn’t matter to me where my clothes come from. I’ve got things in my wardrobe from Tesco as well as more expensive things that I’ve had for 15 years or more. What matters is whether they make me feel good and my Tesco winter coat certainly does that.
I think it’s interesting, as someone else said, to hear about others’ choice of clothes. If someone said they were wearing something from a brand I hadn’t heard of, & it sounded nice, I might be tempted to go and have a look at the website.
Some of us are interested in clothes and some of us aren’t.
Don’t get your knickers in a twist.
