Wtf are keggings? A keg to contain my massive lockdown pizza wine beer form
:lol: I did wonder what this new evolution of legging/ jeggings/ meggings might be.

I’m the same as you, Dic. I’m properly sausaged into my work clothes at the moment. I have gained almost a stone in the past 6 months. :cry:

I like Geek’s potential HG leather skirt. I think I want one too, but when I’m seen by more people.

Going into the office a few times a week has helped me not completely slob out.

I love the shape and look of the leather skirt.

It's so depressing. I know this isn't a diet thread and diet chat is dull but I'm just saying I've had 1075 calories today but I'm still 343 over to maintain my usual [old] weight!

I’ve never heard of a megging.

I have been wearing work clothes (to actual work - I’m limited by what I can do at home so go to the studio where I’m there on my own) but I wear variety of loose fitting dresses so that’s not helped.

ASOS tried to make meggings a thing.

I’ve just seen that the blouse I ordered has a detachable scarf/tie thing. So that’s versatile. Except I hate grandad collars.

I’m wearing black skinny jeans and a denim shirt today because of this thread. Luckily the jeans are stretchy :))

I've been wearing jeans throughout, although they are currently tighter than I would like :cry:

The abstract print top is nice and staying. The white satin tee is nasty, poorly made and not worth the money, so it’s going back.

A shame, it looked really nice in the photo (I was considering it myself).

The leather skirt has arrived. I am undecided. It’s nice leather and fits well (allowing for the fact that I’m a little extra puffy at present), and the shape and so on is nice. My only quibble is about the length, if it were 2-3 inches shorter I’d definitely keep it. I may post for opinions later.

I am disappointed about the top. The hem is wonky.

Noooo. That's rubbish.

We need to see, Geek.

I have checked the website. They are saying I must wait up to 12 working days from ordering for items to be dispatched. That's a dispatch date 2 days before I plan to move then! :mog:

Right, here is a bad picture. It's basically mid calf length. I have lots of things at that length but most are jersey and softer so look less lampshade-y. If it were 3-4 inches shorter I'd have no hesitation.

It's lined but the leather is unhemmed so could be shortened quite easily I think. The fit elsewhere is nice and I really like the generously sized flat pockets at the front.

You look great and I really like the skirt but I do agree with you that it is marginally too long on you. It will be great if you think you can get it adjusted
