when I think my size is changing,which it seems to do despite my weight staying the same!!!!...have gone from 40 E to 34G?????? I go to get measured at Bravissimo as think they are the best(Debs and Marks wanted me to go to 42E when Bravissiomo said I was in fact 38) and buy 1 bra there then buy anymore I need from Brastop or Figleaves.I stick to brands I know will fit as found some band sizes are a few inches apart and I cannot fasted them on some brands e.g Triumph and Boux avenuehaha you found us lovely
Mine doenst include underwear as I am so chesty that new bras are pricey and very necessary! but its up to you xx0 -

Morning all!
Bit of an unplanned spending spree to admit to
Ev*ns sale - knee high boots £10, jumper £7, undies £7 and jewellery set £5. £29 in total but there was a discount at the till so it all came to £23.30. I can never get boots to fit my chubby legs so was well impressed with the boots :T 0 -
What about looking in the charity shop for buttons? I have bought clothes in there - just for the buttons.mad_scientist wrote: »Hurray another no spend weekend! Think I might make it for a whole no spend month (well on clothes anyway)
I was in JL yesterday looking for new buttons for my bargain coat with tacky buttons but the only ones I liked were £3 each. Since I would need 6 for the coat and the coat only cost £10 in the first place I decided to do without. I can live with the buttons I am sure!
However as I innocently browsed through the womenswear department (will I never learn?) literally everything in Oasis looked lovely and just my style. Will have to stay out of there for the forseeable future!Decluttering Achieved - 2023 - 10,364 Decluttering - 2024 - 8,365 August - 0/45

been to town but did not buy any clothes:A....not for want of trying:rotfl:a shrug I loved had such a long tie I could imagine DH using it as a lead to pull me around:rotfl:a cami was too see through and the cardi I wanted was not on sale in JL(tho it is still in my online basket:rotfl:)
I did buy a pair of shoes,not that they count in my total.half price flats,very sensible and what I really needed as the pair I wore today have gone so big after years of wear they are falling off and so uncomfortable.The SA brought me the left shoe but it was a different grain of leather so ha dto ask for the left shoe to another pair from the rack,am sure she thought I was being diffficult!!!I will need a heel grip as left foot smaller than right but think they will be ok:),can't believe the size of some platforms and heels,you would need steps to get into them....why do women wear them??????0 -
