Fluffy bedsocks from Lidl (to wear instead of slippers, which I hate), plus an oversized (I hope, given that my midsection is a size 18-20 at the moment while the rest isn't) darkish plaid viscose shirtdress to use instead of a far too bulky dressing gown.

 

[dilute micro]

East German raindrop camo pants.

Have just ordered this for a Halloween party, they only had the one size left so I'm hoping I can squeeze into it.

I just need to big up Rimmel's matte finish foundation. Cheap, great coverage, only have to use a tiny bit, great matte finish that lasts.

Only thing is it doesnt seem to set so comes off in stuff quite easily. I'm impressed though.

Bought a Chanel Inimitable Extreme mascara, because they seem to have stopped selling normal Inimitable here. It seems fine. Can't tell much difference between them tbh.

I bought 5 pairs of winter tights from TKMaxx yesterday. £35 for £90 rrp. tights
It's worth going in if you're looking for coloured woollen or thick tights. I got two pairs Calvin Klein brown 60denier. A pair of Falke wine colour woven pattern wool type, Sage green woven Burlington tights and Navy woven pattern Esprit.

Went out walking yesterday in me Cat boots and they gave me proper heel pain. They were giving me trouble in Ireland too but I didn't wanna wear me steelies cos they're fucking heavy.

SO - bought these

Explorer Women's Waterproof Hiking Boots | Mountain Warehouse GB

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

New winter coat from the men's section of Zara.

Hoodie also from Zara.

Leopard print frock. But not as we know it

Sent last black skirt back, as too big and they'd sold out of next size down in... well, all of their black skirts, it appeared.

Then found this, which was actually much more what I was after, being a bit drapey and asymmetric, half price in House of Fraser and had enough vouchers to pay for all except the last £3.50:

In sale, love colour but will go back if they are less than perfect fit or fail to go with every single item of clothing I have as I really don't need any more shoes

This piece of velvety goodness just arrived, and it's lush! Very flattering, makes your bosoooms into weapons, and looks way more expensive than it is.

 

[BoatieBird]

There seems to be a lot of velvet about atm.
This is a good thing

This dress is so you. I can just see you in it

While you lot are getting all sparkly and velveted up, I've bought two tweed skirts from the charity shop. It's looking like I'll be Miss Marple again this winter

You might see me in it

Good

My last two dresses: this by Bella Freud for Fred Perry. I've already worn it a good few times and it seems to keep me cool in the heat and warm in the cold. Would look good on anyone. Merino wool is worth every penny



Bought this dress today - I would dress it down with a sloppy joe cardigan, black tights and ankle boots

Ooh, they are smashing

Bought a lovely Diesel jacket for winter the other day, £50 from TK Maxx

My question is - wtf is this weird strap across the inside of the back for? Doesn't seem to do anything other than annoy me and get in the way. Any ideas?

Is it for packing it down? Ie roll up and put the band round it?

 

[krtek a houby]

New shirts from GU and Uniqlo. Nice and cheap. Brown check and red corduroy, respectively.

 

[Virtual Blue]

Retro Adidas tracksuit top.

I need something to wear after me workouts.

 

[sojourner]

My single dark brown matte eyeshadow crumbled into an unuseable mess so I bought a Technic Mega Matte Nudes 12 colour palette thing. It was DIRT cheap so I wondered obviously about the quality of it, but fuck me, it is lovely eyeshadow. You only need a tiny bit, goes on beautifully, blends brilliantly, and the colour range is ace. I'm way too old for owt shimmery now and this actually really complements my middle-aged/stoner eyes. Wow. Well decent value for money, proper made up

Have been a menace on eBay - again:

2 pairs of men's loose jeans for lounging around in and going walking - I previously had ONE solitary pair of jeans and that is not good enough.

2 wool jumpers - one lilac from M&S with a high neck - mixed fabric tho when it appeared, which I wouldn't normally buy - give me real or fuck off - the other one hasn't arrived yet, but is a White Stuff grey wool men's jumper, size small. I don't do the cold and I need a good loungey jumper for festivakl night.

Also a black fake fur coat.

In return - kind people have relieved me of a pair of jeans I never wore (too tight for this 42 yr old), a pair of men's jeans I bought that were too big, an All Saints jumper that isn't quite long enough, my fake fur leopard print coat (in the end, I didn't like wearing leopard print) - so that's fine - some in and some out.

The one jumper that has arrived is brill tho, long enough, roomy, comfy, nice non black colour, warm. I heart eBay.
