DH home in two weeks and wanted to look decent for once and so have been trying to find something nice to wear. However, due to being a lazy, fat moo bag I am bigger than before he left making clothes shopping horrible. I'm 5 foot tall, size 14 and still look pregnant...........what on earth would look good on me?????? Jesus I am annoyed at myself for not shifting my arse more and also eating way too many potato's LOL
It deosn't help that I have absolutely not sense of style and this even extends to footwear as I live in trainers or in summer flipflops. I NEED TO BE GOK'd!!!!!

Try Style and Beauty for specific advice, get a great haircut, up your grooming and hug him hard.

Okay happylander -

  • get a spray tan a few before he gets back(a nice natural one - that'll boost your complexion after so many grey months).
  • Check out one shop you like (John Lewis/Next/Fat face/Top Shop/White Stuff etc) and buy an entire outfit from that one shop - use their style guide online to suss out an outrfit to fit your shape.
  • Buy some gorge shoes to merge with the outfit.
  • Cut out bread and bread products for the next two weeks - I don't mean don't eat carbs - I mean spread soft cheese and ham between Rivita for example, have brown rice with fish for lunch, couscous salad etc
  • Only eat boiled new potatoes - cook and mix with a little low fat mayo/dressing and eat warm with chicken or salmon and salad or mixed veg.
  • Get a fab new hair cut/trim/colour
  • Buy some new underwear and bra

-Book a restaurant (nearer the time when you know his flight has defo left).

  • Buy a few new colouorful accessories for the house - couple new cushion covers/pretty vase/picture frame etc and put out fresh flowers for when he gets back.

Have fun!!!!! - He probbaly won't notice any of the above coz he'll just have missed you so much, he won't care about anything else. Smile
