Congrats pinup!! Flowers

That dress looks lush!

ThePortlyPinUp · 15/04/2014 20:59

Thank you :) It's all very homemade and budget as obviously it's not long to get everything sorted but for £40 I think the frock will look nice with the accessories :) I've even found dp a black and leopard print bowling shirt.

Congrats!

I'm on a spending ban since I spent far too much in March. But on the 2ww, and if I'm not pg next week I'm allowed to buy myself something next week. Have my eye on a few collectif tops - anchor and cherry print - and a sailor style steady clothing one, or maybe a nice red cardigan...but am hoping to not buy anything and be pg Grin

Awesome!

ThePortlyPinUp · 28/04/2014 19:08

Congratulations Calling on your bfp :)

I'm a very happy bunny at the moment, I've lost 8.5lbs in a fortnight on the slimming world diet and clothes that I've bought and never fitted are actually fitting me and the dresses I already have look so much better. I'm now starting to sort my outfits and accessories for the Hemsby Rock and Roll weekender which is only 11 sleeps away Grin This link has some lovely photos on from last year, loads of inspiration for me :)
