M&S leather-look ankle grazer jeggings. Which sound a bit dodgy but are actually great - they come in different lengths and the long fit my high-waisted figure perfectly. Most trousers of that ilk cut me in half as the waist is far too low. I got the cranberry version and am going to get them in black as well.

It's been a crappy week so I went thrift shopping. I think I bought a new wardrobe! I walked out with three grocery sacks of clothing for <$40. Among all that was:
A vintage, long white bead necklace
One pair of black shoes.
Two cardigans -- one grey, one taupe.
Three pairs of grey or black slacks.
Four little lacey camisoles (purple, grey, taupe, and red).
Several silk blouses (most black or black with red.)
And a partridge in a pear tree!

I also went home and de-junked my wardrobe. I came up with two trash bags of stuff for a charity shop. It was almost double what I brought home yesterday. Its amazing what happened when I did that. My wardrobe took a more coherent shape and style than its ever had. I have only clothes that fit, that I like, and that go together. I could almost stick my hand in at random and pull out an outfit that looks good.
What I was doing with a peach Izod polo is beyond me!

I've been trying to get some dresses to go with leggings and boots but not been having much luck. Bought 2 in new look but they looked shit so went back. Bought 2 off asos curve but they looked really shit and were a bit odd.
Finally, I've found 2 dresses I ordered from new look online that are ok. Still have to send one back but at least I'm getting somewhere.
I'm watching 2 or 3 on eBay too.
I found a really nice, slouchy cardigan in Sainsburys. All good except I bought it in 3 colours (in two trips). : o
I feel so fucking old. : (
But they were all nice colours and I couldn't decide. Someone please tell me they've done similar.

I've done that with jeans, because it's so difficult to find ones which fit me. And T shirts, for similar reasons. Underwear too. It has to be something which really does fit more or less perfectly for once, and which I know I'd be happy wearing to death.
That Joe Brown top of mine (pale aqua, longer on one side, sleeveless) is something with VP persuaded me to buy 2 of. Mostly because the first one hung so well on me, and it was something which (according to Sod's Law) would have got ruined by stains if I hadn't got another one exactly like it.

A pair of Merrell walking boots - nice and padded around the ankles so should be good for long walks.

God those boots keep your feet toasty. Wore them for a couple of hours and my feet were roasting. Learned when I looked at the specs on the Merrell website that aside from the padded insulation, they have silver reflective foil in the insole, which would explain why my feet felt on fire. Maybe colder weather is needed before I can wear these again...

I've bought the exact same thing in the exact same colour - memorably two of a particularly ace green hoodie. You've got to make the most of it when you find something you really like. In the case of the hoody I put one away in a bag till the first one was worn out and then it came out
NB Tapatalk seems to be putting a logo on your pictures. I think there's a thing somewhere of how to not let it do that, ie opt to have this forum host your pics rather than Tapatalk.

Phew, I'm glad there are others!
I noticed that tapatalk thing, it's since I updated my iPhone. I'll have a look at the tapatalk instructions. : )

I have the same problem with my Merrell insulated coat. I can only wear it if it below zero! I can't go into a shop with it on, and I swelter on the bus or if I walk in it.

I know what you mean! I've got a few pairs of Merrell walking shoes and they are fine - not insulated like these at all, so I think it took me by surprise. They're like a 15 tog foot-quilt!

I like that. Looks toasty but stylish too. And not too short- I bought a new ski jacket last year, but if you wear it with jeans you get a cold draft every time you bend downThis coat
Come at me, winter
