    Well done :D

    I've recently started buying on ebay. Have some fantastic bargains! Beautiful tops for under a tenner, mainly even under a fiver - mostly new, but not all.

    Sell some of your stuff that's too big, and buy more (ebay).

    Good luck :)

    Leggings from Primark for £5. A top also from Primark for £4 and a couple of long waterfall cardigans from Ebay for under £10. No wonder I look a mess.:D


    However, I do have a few nice dresses to wear for a special occasion.


    Oh and well done on the weight loss.

  • I've gone from a 28 to a 16 in the past 18 months... I've not bought many new clothes. Leggings are cheap and can 'shrink' with you. I also bought a belt and wore my old jeans till they just looked ridiculous, only then did I buy a new pair.
    You can buy cheap clothes from primark or asda. A pair of jogging bottoms are £4 and you can buy t-shirts for £2-3. Yes they wont be fantastic quality but they will last till you shrink to the next size.
    Right now I am going with the mantra one on, one in the wash.

    Nothing wrong with that mantra except when you go on holiday.

    Well obviously, but I dont think she'll be going on holiday when money is tight so my mantra works in this situation ;)

    Asda sell plain black or dark grey trousers for £6 or leggings. Advertise on free cycle or facebook selling/ free stuff sites in your area. try ebay, maybe looking for clothes in your area so you can pick up and not pay postage.

    Primary do some nice tops for around £4 each. Sure a pair of trousers and some tops, maybe accessorised with a nice scarf would look ok for a few weeks til you have a bit more money x
