Fashion chat- Dressed up or down??? All welcome!!

Alexnikov

Evening all. Think I've just about caught up! Is anyone apart from me still awake?

I'm currently rather loving Whittard's apple and white cranberry green tea. I'm not much of a tea and coffee sort of person (mainly because I have to have soya milk and it tastes like gak in hot drinks!) but was given a sample of this and it's lovely

Alex I don't do tea at all, I don't drink milk either so perhaps that's why..only drink black coffee as I was told it has almost negligible calorie content lol

I'm with you in terms of "roll on march", need a new start I think

To all those ladies who are agonising over selling a dress they love but which doesn't quite fit, don't do it yet if you don't want to! Sometimes it is better to hang onto it (even hang it on the wardrobe door so you can admire it every day the way you would a painting) than to get a few measly £s for it which you will probably spend on a coffee/magazine/lunch.

This is what I'm doing anyway, I'm holding onto some best-loved things for now (maybe forever). Sentimental fool that I am!

I hate tea, yeuck! Which is strange considering my name.. But it's the name of my website where I used to sell lots of handmade items I made! and I live by the sea

I get embarassingly bad coffee jitters if I have more than one a day :rotfl:

Yup, March needs to hurry up. I'm actually feeling a lot better about work at the moment as things seem to be slowly coming together. Still get the feelings of utter panic about how much there is to do by next Friday but I'm coping with them a bit better. And generally I'm feeling a lot jollier which is nice

Expect doom tomorrow though if my weigh in isn't good!

I'm with you tara, keep them forever! I still have my prom dress (well, bodice and skirt) in the wardrobe. No idea if I'll ever wear it again but I don't want to get rid of it.

Yes, I am quite sentimental about clothes too.

Good luck with the WI tomorrow! I am still off chocolate and the cravings have eased a little this evening (thank goodness! I was a nightmare to be around yesterday lol).

Night all xoxoxo

I have to get rid of some stuff! I've been sat here listing for ages, around 10items! If each item sells for what i'm asking i'll get back at least £100 excl. postage. I refuse to put something on eBay for 99p I have to admit though. I'd put it at what i'd pay for it in the condition it is. Watching my big fat gypsy wedding, it's horrid!

Hi Ladies, thanks for the lovely welcome I'm going to try and put a link to my photos of my before and after, ignore pose and posture as hate having pic taken and these were just quick snaps and I was dressed for warmth!

Hi girls - I love reading all your blogs. I have one set up but as yet it is still blank as I just never seem to wear anything worth posting about. I was just wondering if I would be able to have peoples ebay names? I love seeing what everyone wears - what do you sell aswell? I am currently looking for some summer type dresses on ebay although no luck yet. I really want a laura ashley one like pirate fairy

Maybe I will start my blog up tomorrow - have to see what the weather is like and if i want to stay in bed all day lol. Back to work on Monday!

Hello welcome, I hope you start your blog soon, I'm loving being able to "see" people as well as talk to them!

I'm meant to have soya milk as well, but agree...yuck in hot drinks. I tried goats milk instead which I can digest better than cows!


Morning all
Slept a bit better last night so might be a bit more cheery today (only might mind you )
