In the magazine section of The Telegraph this morning a singer whose name I cannot recall, was held up as a model of summer styling with her 'playful accessories and nonchalant attitude'. I just wondered if you were sporting something similar yourself this fins Saturday morning - I know I'm not I'm still in my blue and white spotted M & S dressing gown with my hair standing on end. grin

I loved "TheFast Show" especially the old drunk geyser...." I was very, very drunk!"

Nonchalantly wearing elasticated trousers, stretchy strappy top and cardigan even more nonchalantly slung over one shoulder along with a playful 'collar and cuff' sling. Just trying to see how many threads I can weasel my broken arm into smile

I'm thinking of buying these second hand plimsolls to complete my outfit of faded black jeggings-think they could more appropriately be called grey now-and pale grey top. I've accessorised with a pop of colour in my shocking pink Fitbit. My nails are playfully painted in a lovely shade of lavender grey. Très jolie....non?

Well I've come to this thread late.
So can I do my evening attire? Not much different from my morning except that I have just eaten a lovely huge meal prepared by DH himself and am now nonchalantly lying back on the cushions wearing the open zip look.
As for the playful bit. Will Granny pig socks in a very fetching pink do?

Lol the advertisement under my last post was for Durex.

Someone somewhere is liking our nonchalant, playful attiregrin

I thought the plimsoll line was a dedicated telephone line for the OP who had problems with her son's shoes!!

So you playful and nonchalant people what's your Sunday best like I seem to still be in blue and white spotted M & S dressing gown talking to you while DH does the ironing? I might drag a frock on later if it warms up a bit other than that its leggings, long jumper, knee blanket, something toxic in a glass and Midsummer Murders this afternoon.

Jane10 Sun 19-Jun-16 10:40:22

Well I'm all dressed up. Hope you're all impressed! Bottom line is we're being taken out for Fathers Day brunch and I'm starving so smart breeks with stretchy waistband so I can eat ++. Not cool. I am plastered in make up though to distract attention from strangely capacious trousers!

annodomini Sun 19-Jun-16 10:45:24

It's not very warm this morning so I am nonchalantly attired in a sky blue fleece and fleecy pj trousers, plus the ever faithful sheepskin slippers and warm socks. Glamorous, as I'm sure you'll agree.

Summer Primark Pj's, rather pretty actually. But spoilt by a grey cardi that has shrunk, as it is so cold. Grey woolly socks and a green dressing gown complete the ensemble. I asked DH if I looked glamorous and, without looking up from the magazine he was reading, replied "you always do dear". hmm Bless him!

Katek Sun 19-Jun-16 11:24:23

Butterfly patterned nightie....very springlike I thought....and pink fluffy socks. Shocking pink Fitbit again completes my ensemble.

GandTea Sun 19-Jun-16 11:45:01

Boxer shorts & string vest -- It is fathers day after all. grin

Greyduster Sun 19-Jun-16 12:28:17

My DH used to wear string underwear in the sixties!! I can't imagine now how I ever thought they were sexy! But then on you, GandTea, they very well might be? ?

GandTea Sun 19-Jun-16 12:31:53

Shall I post a picture hmm perhaps not, wouldn't like to get you all worked up grin

Greyduster Sun 19-Jun-16 12:37:59

Chance would be a fine thing grin!

Bellanonna Sun 19-Jun-16 12:38:17

Oh no GandT we wouldn't want to bother you, what with it being Father's Day and all that. Those who wish to confused can use their imaginations.

Nonnie1 Sun 19-Jun-16 12:43:54

Today I am wearing a onesie and plimsolls

.. whistles...

Bellanonna Sun 19-Jun-16 12:45:36

Nonnie1 Sun 19-Jun-16 12:49:17

No because I was not telling the truth smile

However the truth is not far off the lie Belladonna

I am currently sporting a pink pair of flip flop Crocs and a blue and white spotted dressing gown at this time of day ..

Bellanonna Sun 19-Jun-16 12:51:51
