What are you wearing today and why ?

Forgot to add the

Katek and Nankate thankyou.
Alas I am not tall, about 5'6", and I'm definitely not slim.

We are both slobbing around in our PJ's atm. However I had to laugh, because we are tidying up etc. before our friends arrive in a hour, Mrs P is in her nightie + an apron super sexy look !

Same as Wednesday. I am becoming boring which is possibly why my 3 daughters have given me, as a birthday present, a voucher for a 'Wardrobe Review' by a 'stylist'. [quakinginshoes]

Navy trousers and t shirt (with 3/4 sleeves!!) and a longish linen sleeveless button through gilet type thingy in a lighter blue. Blue and white scarf, comfy Ecco boots. Serious shopping ahead!

Skinny navy trousers, long grey 3/4 sleeved top from Phase 8 with navy butterflies on it, jade green cardigan and black shoe boots. Because I have just got back from shopping. It was too hot for the cardigan while I was out, but I need it on again in the house.

I was looking at a young man wearing tracksuit bottoms in Sainsbury's, wondering why I simply cannot approve of them outside a gym unless someone is going jogging. But as DBH isn't even 50 yet and I've only just got him into wearing jeans when we go out, I can't ever see us going down that route!

Jeggings (navy], pink tee shirt, lilac cowl neck sweatshirt, thick socks, fleece gilet and I'm freezing

Sun's just about out but not very warm out.
Been working from home, so got really cold.
Just put CH on.......

Blue jeans, black t shirt and a chunky cardigan with purple loafers again.

Just come in from the garden where I have been doing the watering wearing all the above but purple slippers instead of purple shoes. Slippers now quite wet!

Note to self - buy crocs and keep them by the back door.

Having noted some of the variety of modern clothes GNs seem to wear I think I need an overhaul like you are going to have Marmight with the stylist. Do tell me how you get on.

I think I dress quite conservatively and need to sharpen up a bit. [smilej]

Orange, black and white Wallis tunic top with black linen trousers, black pumps. Amber earrings and big dress ring. Out at garden centre.

Later into blue grotty track bottoms, grotty top, and really old brown suede loafers to plant up spring onion plants and lettuce plants. Got fed up buying salad stuff from supermarket and not being able to use them all before they need throwing out.

I thought I needed to sharpen up a bit after reading this thread; went shopping yesterday and realised that I came home with similar boring clothes to those already in the wardrobe.

Today: old navy linen trousers, old s/s top - plus navy cardigan which I will discard when I get off here as I am going to clean the conservatory and plant up some outside pots.

A stylist came to give our group a talk recently; perhaps I should have taken more note. She did say she still wore clothes that were 20 years old.

Black Grey cos faded denim trousers, my "not really jeans" trousers, a short sleeved t-shirt under a long-sleeved polo shirt both under a baggy old woollen jumper that I bought in a charity shop n years ago where n is a large positive integer.

Why? Because that's what's comfortable and suitable for bumbling around on a boggy brae in Scotland. Even in May.

Through the winter I wear churidar or leggings under my trousers, so I have cast a clout before May (or may blossom) is out

At the moment dressing-gown and socks. In an hour's time it will be black trousers and indigo/white kurta top for a birthday lunch with my family. I tend to slob around in Tshirt and stretch pants at home and put on something more presentable when I go out. I suppose it dates back to when I couldn't afford to replace my better clothes very often so I tried not to wear them out too fast. Habit dies hard.

Wondering whether to risk going out tonight without a mac. Have a little walk from car-park to theatre. I remember thinking grannies dressed cautiously but you realise that you can't sprint through rain to get warm, as you did as a girl.

An old 'A' line green skirt and an old pink top, purple slippers. I have some housework to do, then I'm going to slob

kitty I notice your a fan of purple too its my favourite colour. I have to stop myself from making a bee line for anything that's purple or shades of when shopping.

Is it possible to have too much purple ?

Old habits die hard Elegran, I'm the same although not not in a 'corporate' type job I still have work/best/home clothes (not sure what 'best' is as rarely go anywhere to dress up!

Also have sizes 12 - 16 (' just in case' of what?), and rarely sort anything out (again 'just in case')......

I need sorting out big time as far too many clothes but keep wearing the same things over and over again

Any advice very welcome (just how many tee shirts and tops does anyone need - I to even count them!)

I love pinks and purples nina, and I have to stop myself from overindulging.

I have just had a clear out and sent about 15 M&S t shirts to the charity shop. They were mostly black or white and I had saved those 'just in case' but then realised they were so blooming dreadful that, if 'just in case' happened, they were too embarrassing to wear anyway!

I keep really old clothes just in case I do any decorating then I can throw them away afterwards.
The trouble is we haven't done any decorating for ages.

I am wearing navy chinos and a very old, but comfortable Newlyn smock, which is a favourite of mine - just right for doing gardening in. It's loose and has a round neck and handy pockets, the colour is a very faded maroon so that it looks sort of dark pink now.

I also have navy trousers but they are linen ones. With that I have a navy tee shirt embroidered with Yellowstone and a big moose. I started out with. Pink Weird fish jacket but got too hot. I have witchy stripped socks on.

I like the sound of witchy stripped socks !

I had a Newlyn smock years ago, sadly it eventually fell apart/disintegrated with age. It started of navy and ended up barely blue....still miss it.

Tee shirt, shorts and getting windburn, getting too hot gardening but chilly when I stop so fleece going on and off like a Belisha beacon!

Nina and Kitty I am a purple fanatic.

Most of my clothes are lilac moving to mauve then to purple. I even have a nice grey/purple nail varnish on today and a bright pink camisole under my teeshirt.

I am envious of your purple suede shoes Kitty.

Don't start me on all the necklaces I have in every purple hue known to man or woman.

My 4 year old GS brought me back a card he had made for me at Pre School.
'I drew it in your favourite colour Nanny'. That's my boy !

Moshulu have fabulous coloured, but comfy, shoes. I have some lovely shocking pink suede ones too! I usually buy them in the sales.

I obviously threw away far too many tee shirts as I have had to garden in ones I usually wear!
