My mainly c/s capsule wardrobe I!!!8217;ve been downsizing to is slowly starting to wear out & need replenished.
I gave in & bought a brand new pair of jeans in the sale (1/2 price so still a bargain) simply because they were actual proper denim and apparently, for ladies!!!8217; jeans, that!!!8217;s rarer than hen!!!8217;s teeth these days!!
My comfy navy bootcut trousers I!!!8217;ve been lovingly wearing out also finally wore out yesterday so I popped into a couple of c/s in a town just north of where I live & managed to unearth some bargains in BHF, a rare thing in my experience! I got 2 Mantaray t-shirts for £2.50 each & a pair of Maine chinos for £5. Two tatty t-shirts our, two !!!8220;new!!!8221; in. I!!!8217;m determined to keep to my 1-in-1-out mantra.“I want to be a glow worm, A glow worm's never glum'Coz how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?" ~ Dr A.

Oh Gawd....I am turning into my grandmother!!!
I purchased this afty, in the DEBRA shop, a b/n pair of Damart, straight legged trousers in a dark, dusty pink shade - £2.49. Lightweight but smart and with a bit of stretch I thought they might be good for hols. They have, *gulp*, elastic in the back half of the waistband!!! :eek:
('Damart', 'pink' and 'elastic waistband' - oh the shame, kill me now, please!:()0 -

I thought the blouse would be ok, but when I tried it on at home it actually looked amazing. My Mum thought the same, now it's hers
ETA: the same style as this, except it's light grey with a white pattern, and the embellishment on the neckline and cuffs are in silver. Selling on eBay for £15!
Haha I got that top in the pic from bhf about four years ago. Love it.Credit Card & Overdraft Debts Jan 2012: £16,000+ :eek: [STRIKE] Credit Card & Overdraft Debts Sep 2013: £13,023 [/STRIKE]

I'd held off doing anything with my clothes whilst pregnant, not being sure how much bigger I might get after baby no.2 (In size 18s between pregnancies) but having gestational diabetes, I've been on a different diet for the last nine weeks and have lost about 10kg.
A size 14 dress I've not worn for about four years fit me last night, at 37wks pregnant no less!
Think I'll have a lot of sorting to do in a couple of months time!Credit Card & Overdraft Debts Jan 2012: £16,000+ :eek: [STRIKE] Credit Card & Overdraft Debts Sep 2013: £13,023 [/STRIKE]

Lucy - well done on sticking with the diet and the weight loss. You're really going to notice it after baby is born so the CS won't know what's hit them!Small victories - sometimes they are all you can hope for but sometimes they are all you need - be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle0
