Items to which I am allured

[Marth]

Going back to the padded coats, I've ordered this to try. I was out today, Inc sat in a pub which had all its doors open and I was so cold. It spurred me on.

That looks nice. I'm convinced irs the way forward for this winter.

[Marth]

I've also ordered this (over the top), but I take beta blockers and my fingers and feet were so cold and went numb.

Yes definitely. Padded coats seem to be the Covid must buy of the winter. A bit like garden furniture and plants of the Covid summer.

[smalex]

The shops are full of comforting clothes generally. Obviously it makes sense, no ones looking for the Must have party dress of the season.

[Ella77]

I keep seeing lovely (expensive) office clothes I’m too fat for and don’t need.

[Marth]

Yes, I want to buy clothes, but then wonder where I will wear them. Seems a bit pointless. (It's not stopping me from trying though)

[smalex]

I know, the knowledge I don't need to fit into anything smart for the next six months minimum is NOT helpful (to my girth)

[Ella77]

I put all of my nice clothes away in moth-proof bags a few months ago .

[smalex]

I did mine last week! In a bag in the attic. No one needs off the shoulder or sequins this year. Ah well. It'll be nice getting it all out next year (so I can admire how I wasn't morbidly obese once)

[Ella77]

I have to go into the office for my flu jab next week, and I will need to butter myself to get anything on .

I use the foot ones at work when it’s really cold.

I do too. I'm a bit amazed anyone is trying to sell that stuff. The day I went into the office I wore jeggings with an elasticated waist.

[Roma]

Same here. I see so many lovely clothes for autumn I want to buy and then I remember that I only wear leggings and jumpers now :sad:

[Lily]

I felt really sad looking at party dresses the other day.

I saw a Snag model wearing these in red and now I'm wondering if I'm having a mid life crisis. It would be so nice to wear shoes which aren't Fit Flop.

[Marth]

My coat has arrived and it is SO warm. The hood is ridiculous though and the pockets are an odd choice, however it's good and i'm keeping it.

[H1ppychick]

If anyone wants the Joules version of the hooded padded coat, it’s just gone on sale at QVC as a daily special for £140 + £5 P&P

[Estrella]

I am considering this for summer drinks at the start of December. I’m not sure how it will work on me as I’m not super tall.

[Pippedydeadeye]

That’s very pretty, Est. I will never fully get my head around you buying summery clothes when we’re well into autumn though.

I’ve seen this & really like it. Really do not need it.

[Mayday]

Oh that's lovely, Pip! (sorry )
