3 weeks to look fabulous

6 replies

dementedma · 26/08/2018 20:30

I have a formal day time event to go to in 3 weeks - think royals and hats..
Can I lose half a stone in 3 weeks? Am 54, decent boobs and slim legs from knee down, but apple tummy .
On a fairly tight budget so please help with ideas for smart day dress/jacket and bloody hat if I must. I have short hair and think a hat will look stupid on me but needs must. Am large 14/16

Is there any colours you suit more than others?

For some reason I always think for a big event it is worth going a bit classic / vintage style (apologies if this isn't "you"!)

In real life I think they look a lot better so might be worth a try on?

Very exciting though and hope you have a lovely time x

If you do the 5:2 diet and do some exercise on your "5" days you should lose half a stone in 3 weeks.

What's your budget?

Maybe wear a fascinator instead of a hat?

And agree with 5:2 & exercise.

Also if everyone else has something on their heads you will feel stupid without anything OP.

Thank you. I like this style

Thanks all, I did think about a fascinator so will look at those. Budget is under £100. I usually trawl charity shops or eBay but something new would be nice
