Oula I do find collectif pencil skirts pull you in a bit....have to watch they're not too tight, or that you get too drunk and fall over in them though

moose where are the swallow brooches from?

Banana for scale
Two pack push up tshirt bras (flesh tone and black) in house of fraser, as I'm sick of living in two bras 90% of the time and feeling a bit skanky. Still not sure fit's right as I've been meaning to get measured again for about 3 years but have settled on 32A for now, though think 30B may be nearer the mark, if way harder to find.

Very Capaldi. Love it.I have strong reason to believe that Father Christmas may be bringing me one of these this year:
Already had to send one back for being too big which was pleasing. Only a couple of XX's in front of that L for me now.
For lagenlook on ebay check out Lilith and RundholzLagenlook is just code for "I like to wear lots of random clothes at once to detract from lumps and bumps". Or "I'm old and want to look like Dame Judi Dench"
I buy loads of those brands, have done for years but I don't want to look like Judy Dench

slightly premature post-deadline treat but it'll take weeks from the states anyway so by the time it arrives i'll hopefully have earned it

All of these in an attempt to shake up my wardrobe. Wonder how much of it will go back?

So far so good. The gold dress/ tunic is fab, dunno how much wear I will get from it but it looks great on. Both pairs of shoes similar.
It's the skirts I'm not sure about...

All looks like nice stuff though, felix.
I've just done a similar thing. Weirdly enough, at this time of year when I'm just about as skint as I've ever been, I decided it was high time I bought five new suits.
And then, in for a penny in for several hundred pounds, a pair of fifty quid FCUK jeans and a nice shirt to wear on Xmas day.Wine, Internet, Credit Card. Fatal.
On the plus side, I've always wanted to have a proper suit for every day of the working week and for the first time in my life, I have. Black, black pinstripe, 'charcoal' (that's grey to you and me), navy and navy pinstripe for the record. All single breasted.

You've read my mind. I feel like I deserve some nice new clobber but, yeah, give em a year and they'll probably be redundant.The new you needs a new wardrobe, tbf, but I'd question the wisdom of 5 suits that won't fit you in a bit
Talking to a few people who've had the same procedure to me the general consensus is that you need 'an intermediate wardrobe' before one that'll last. I've got clothes I was wearing a couple of months ago that hang off me already. I'll have a massive Ebay sale and try and recoup a bit of it at some point.Any savings I'm making on my food budget is gonna be fucking destroyed by my need for clothes. Plus, I can actually buy stuff from normal shops now rather than shops that Alexei Sayle once memorably described as 'shops that cater for 'the fuller figure' called Mr Fat Bastard'. That's gonna fucking hurt the wallet too.

if you're doing a VLCD there is a VLCD clothes swap site somewhere for people with exactly this problem.
One of the greatest pleasures for me was clothes shopping once I could get into "normal" clothes - it was great!
Sadly I've gained so much weight now I'm going to have to the the shakes again because i'm approaching the stage where even the most forgiving shops will run out of sizes.
Your post has encouraged me actually - it's made me remember how great it was when I went into Top Shop and stuff actually fit me!!

More Child of the Jago for me. Just the jacket mind - I thought the waistcoat was a bit loud. It's perfectly pattern cut.

I lost a lot of weight quite fast a few years ago and it was fucking expensive. It wasn't just jeans, tops, dresses, all the things you think of as clothes, but underwear, winter coats and even shoes. EVERYTHING.You've read my mind. I feel like I deserve some nice new clobber but, yeah, give em a year and they'll probably be redundant.
