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!!)

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!

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

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

Even better if you got yours in the sale! ?

DanniRae Tue 16-Jun-20 10:16:36

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I have been gardening, so old black Tu trousers, a pink T shirt and a very old Seasalt Cardi. I have gone through the elbows so knitted contrasting patches which I sewed on. Looks quite good

Lilac 7/8 trousers. Paisley matching top. Slippers pink.

Won’t say the make as some weird folk are taking offence????
I have clothes going back donkeys years but still wear them. OK I will say the make. Jaeger - so there??

Still in the morning exercise black leggings and Leeds 10k tee. After the workout I decided to go and spend a few hours sorting out our cellar, so I’m now also sporting a layer of dust and grime and a cobweb or two. And I’m feeling really itchy.

Today was a purple/pink/lilac skirt from Kettlewell along with a pink top from their summer palette and I was very happy when I found an unworn/forgotten about pair of flat lilac pumps in my wardrobe to match.

Whitewave Jaeger - congratulations, that must be a first for GN ?

Callistemon Tue 16-Jun-20 19:36:24

DH's Aunt used to wear Jaeger skirts. She got very cross with MIL because she didn't buy Jaeger: "It's worth paying that bit more, Eileen, false economy otherwise".
Poor MIL used to roll her eyes at me behind Auntie's back grin

BibiSarah Tue 16-Jun-20 19:45:55

I still have a Jaegar twin set I bought about 35 years ago. It’s been too small for about 30 of those 35 years but I live in hope I can wear it again when it comes back into fashion for about the 4th time.

A pair of black jeans, a white top with black sleeves, a black neckline and 'C'est La Vie Paris' in black writing. I will have either my black faux fur coat (not fur inside) or my denim jacket with a black shoulder bag with two compartments, a crocodile print bit on the outside with a gold bit that is actually a magnetic pocket, and black trainers.

Callistemon Thu 25-Jun-20 15:20:17

Crikey, do you live in Antarctica, FlyingH?
A faux fur coat?

travelsafar Thu 25-Jun-20 15:21:44

Shorts and sleeveless top. Only worn at home. But when I go out later I will wear white linen trousers, emerald green patterned sleeveless top and my Laura Ashley flip flops

Callistemon Thu 25-Jun-20 15:25:24

Very old linen cropped trousers, were cream, now more white.
Sleeveless navy top.

It must be hot for me to go sleeveless, ut I bought this to go under a shirt.

BBbevan Thu 25-Jun-20 15:34:30

Pink bra and pants. White ( now grubby) T shirt and navy shorts. Nothing on my feet

DiscoGran Thu 25-Jun-20 15:41:04

Cut off shorts and an orange vest top. Flip flops. A faint sheen of "glow". It's 31 degrees in my kitchen, even with the fan on ? X

No but it would look lovely with what I'm wearing. X

Bellanonna Thu 25-Jun-20 15:47:16

Shorts, t-short, bare feet. I regret the latter as this morning I dropped the mechanical part of the shredder on my foot. Now swollen and black. I can still (just about) walk though. Currently sitting with frozen peas on my foot.
