Size 14 M&S skirt for work - check!


My size 18's were in danger of falling down!

I really want to buy a thick woollen suit and a woollen dress

 

[pooh71]

Wow! Well done. X

 

[tealovingsleever]

New skirt. Excuse the mess, not unpacked yet!

 

[Bally]

You look fab! I still don't feel at ease with pencil skirts but I really like your top and the way it fits you.

 

[tealovingsleever]

Thanks Bally

Is it a pencil skirt? I just buy what fits and looks okish! £17.50 from M&S!

Top is from Wallis, i've got a red and white one too, look really nice with skirts.

Well, I believe it could be a pencil skirt if it matches this wiki definition: Pencil skirt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ;-)

17.50 is a price I could never find in Italy. Clothes are soooooo expensive here (unless you buy chinese import in markets). A skirt like that could price between 40 and 50 euros.
I really hope I can reach target weight by Christmas because I've booked a shopping weekend in London in mid Jan and I'm looking forward to it eagerly. London is cheaper than Rome, it's sales times and I like London fashion better than Italian fashion.

all the sales will be on in January. I'm going to avoid buying a new winter coat until then!

 

[Bally]

And I'm trying to avoid buying anything before target weight...don't want to buy twice.

I just bought a new winter coat- since losing weight I'm so cold that I couldn't put it off any longer! Buying size 14's is the best feeling ever!! And Victoria I do love that skirt and it looks fantastic on you- it is only a skirt slim people can get away with(and that's you wooo)

 

[tealovingsleever]

Aww bless you Eve, i really don't feel slim though, just kind of acceptable if that makes sense. What's your coat like? I've got a Fat Face one i bought in the sales in March that i'm hoping will see me through. All the winter coats i've seen are double breasted and I'm a fan of single breasted coats, i also like hoods but not many have them unless they are parkas and i don't like those x

I was forced to buy a body warmer today after husband had a fit of giggles last night when I put my old parka style jacket on to walk the dog. It's a 32 but it had one of those pulley inny elastic cords in the waist and I had it pulled right in... I thought it looked okay but obviously it wasn't. I just don't see the point of spending loads on a jacket that is only going to get worn a few times... I hate coats/jackets of any sort but a body warmer was agreed upon lol.

 

[femfrankie]

Love the pencil skirt Victoria and agree with Bally the top is gorgeous too.

I've done that too, last week..went shopping for some new (cheap) smaller clothes and felt as if fitting size 16s was a waste of time. When I found out that I really could fit in size 16s I would have bought the entire Zara shop! What stopped me was knowing that I'm still loosing weight and that size 16 is (should be) transitory.

 

[femfrankie]

Yes having spent quite a bit today on clothes I was aware that I really shouldn't spend any more. Hubby pointed out the On Sale section placed conveniently at the rear of the store but I held back and said noooooo I will come back again a few weeks after our hols... Don't think my heart would have held out to the other end of the shop anyway to be honest I was just so excited hahaha.

 

[tealovingsleever]

eBay was my answer girl! Still begrudge buying stuff cos I'm not a size 12 yet. Will I get there? Not sure.
