It's all very well being the disappearing woman, but I've been struggling a bit finding things to wear that don't look like someone else's clothes You don't look much slimmer if you're wearing too-big crops and baggy tops

Not much money to spare but today I went to Edinburgh Woollen Mill and in their sale bought a pair of nice thin denim cropped trousers (size 10!), a pretty, pastel striped t-shirt, and a plain white cotton jumper. I went knowing they did the plain cotton jumpers, perfect for cooler late summer evenings, and luckily they were in the sale
Then in my favourite charity shop I found a lovely M&S white linen skirt (size 10 petite ) and a pair of Boden lined linen crop trousers (bizarelly, size 14!). And I only spent £38
Very pleased, as it's all my crops/trousers that are now too big - suddenly it's my butt that's disappeared
A shame that the very nice M&S linen blouse, blue & white pattern, went beautifully with the skirt, fitted perfectly but was about an inch too low at the front But I shall look out for something similar

Well done you.

I too have lost a bit off my waist and hips - not much though! I now find all my jeans, crops and shorts are baggy. I can take them off without unfastening them! The charity shop is going to do well. The problem is it will take a small fortune to replace that lot and I have only lost a bit as I said.

This dieting lark is no good.

It's only a couple of inches or so Rodo, I guess some inches count more than others

Oh how nice is that, going down a size or so? You've worked hard Di and deserved to treat yourself - and what a bargain haul you got there

What a shame about the blouse, I suppose a cami underneath would not look quite 'right'? xxx

Well done to you too Rodo, it's flipping hard work losing weight!!! xx

No it wouldn't Kaz, it looked lovely just as it was. Besides, I hate wearing another layer
I put on a top this morning and wondered why I was so hot, it's very light and airy. Checked the label and it's viscose and polyester
For once I must have forgotten to check when I bought it, I had to take it off, couldn't bear wearing it.

Shame x
