At the weekend I was given a belated Christmas gift from my brother and his girlfriend of £15 to buy myself some new item of clothing.
I tried to spend the £15 over the weekend and came to the horrible realisation that I hate this seasons fashion trends, which in my opinion are not flattering for the plus size woman. Smock dresses make me look as though I have just regained two stone. Wearing baggy items with belts just makes my belly look bigger. And it all looks so casual, I couldn't find anything pretty.
However on the bright side - whilst going from shop to shop I discovered that I can fit into sizes 14-16 which is quite exciting. A whole new bunch of shops are about to open up to me!
As for the £15 - I have spotted several pretty items of clothing on ebay that I am tempted to get, but it really depends on how the auctions go...
I know what you mean about those oh so lovely tunics. Have tried a few on and feel like a pregnant goldfish....and the buggers are everywhere ! I bought a tunic dress with no smocky bit though and that was ok. Nice with leggings and still covered the wobbly bits ! :-) Enjoy spending your dosh !
