    Oooh so glad it's been a success so far :T:T:T

    You're right about the right fitting bra - it is amazing what a difference it makes. Now you know your correct size you can search the web at your leisure.
    Take your time and get the right coat, a smart coat can transform any outfit, cover a multitude of fashion sins and make your confidence soar.

    Feet up this evening then and back to the grind tomorrow. Wish I was there! :D Have fun x

    Ooooh, how exciting to be getting updates, I didn't expect anything until you got home :T

    I love touchy feely things too so would have wanted the red coat.

    So pleased you are having such a great time and have managed to get some things ticked off the wish list.

    Give my love to Glasgow :o And have another fabby day tomorrow :D

    Happy Shopping again today!

    I was having a conversation with a couple of long standing girlfriends yesterday when we were doing a bit of retail therapy (great for hangovers, we have discovered) and it was so apparent how much of a difference it has made to "me" to have clothes that fit, that I look good in, and that ultimately make me feel fab rather than frumpy.

    Now that I have my "capsule" wardrobe, including a range of well fitting and not unattractive undies, I am loving just being able to complement it with the occasional item. After a few shopping trips that have cost me £££££ I am now very happy to be able to head out and just buy a belt, or a piece of chunky jewellry, or a funky hat etc to accessorize.

    And it still makes me smile :D

  • That is so true Hypno I feel so much more confident when I have clothes on that suit my new shape and that then transcends into other areas of my life - the underwear is going to take another couple of months to get absolutely sorted but it i so much better.

    Right I am off now to see what we can get today.

    Have fun with your skip

    Have a good day DT! Clothes can make or break you - it's true, that's why it's worth the effort of finding the right pieces because you'll wear them for years (or until you shrink again :D).Once you know which shapes suit your shape, you'll be on the lookout for them and will naturally not look at the shapes you know don't work.

    Great work so far :j x

    Yep, I think this is the area I have to pay attention to in the sales - I was sending out photos of my new house to some rellies in America, and .... well, the state of me :eek:

    DT, I'm glad you're up for another round today, it sounds so exciting - fancy you only taking a 30 in bra size - okay, there's the KK bit too, but your actual frame must be tiny!

    I hope you can find a snazzy coat :T:T:T

  • That is so true Hypno I feel so much more confident when I have clothes on that suit my new shape and that then transcends into other areas of my life -

    It's so good to have that knowledge, I struggle to know what suits my shape, and end up in the same old stuff.
    When you bought all your good stuff earlier in the year, it seemed to make a difference to you, you oozed confidence. It'll be interesting to see if this helps you focus.
