Love it! Congratulations on all your achievements.
Love an oversized denim jacket and you have got that one spot on.
What is next on the shopping list? Grin

@Chocolatecoatedkettlebell I ordered some new Adidas trainers this morning, the stripes are different pastel colours, they're lovely. Also ordered a black 'shacket'(??) in case this thread was a huge no and I needed a new jacket haha!

I live the photo with the white/cream t shirt.

TheOrigRights · 13/09/2021 14:14

The white t.shirt and black jeans look amazing, but I say whatever you feel good in.

Jerseygirl12 · 13/09/2021 14:15

How did you lose the weight?

rainbowstardrops · 13/09/2021 14:26

You look gorgeous! Well done on shedding the 20 st Wink

rainbowstardrops · 13/09/2021 14:26

Oh and I've never understood the mindset of you can't carry off double denim. Why not?

Protectivemama0999 · 13/09/2021 14:33

You look amazing, but the outfit doesn't show off your new figure. It's a bit drab x

oldshoeuk · 13/09/2021 14:39

if you're comfortable and confident, job done!

givinglessfucksdaily · 13/09/2021 14:45

Well done on that weight loss , your health will thank you for that ! You look fabulous in all your pics
Wear whatever the hell you want !
Internally seething as I can't even lose 5 lbs

You look great @DriftGames. I tend to wear different shades of denim when doing it but I am older and remember wearing DD in my youth.

BusterGonad · 13/09/2021 14:51

rainbowstardrops because of Shakin Stevens.

Yes I am old!

I am not very keen on the wanting to dress like a teenage boy who hangs over the park with his skateboard!

Make the most of being a lovely young lady by looking like a young lady is seen as being old fashioned which is such a shame.

You have a lovely figure so congratulations on your weight loss.

I have it as some kind of nervous fashion tic. All that awful double denim in the 90s. There was an irish girl band, very jolly but were head to foot in the stuff.
FedUpAtHomeTroels · 13/09/2021 15:15

You look lovely.
Double denim not so much. A cowboy tuxedo as I recall it being called.

picklemewalnuts · 13/09/2021 15:25

Fabulous! You look great! I'm in a similar position wardrobe-wise. Almost 6 stone off, and I need to work out what to wear now. I'm not single or young, though! Less pressure Grin

KirstenBlest · 13/09/2021 15:49

You really do look fabulous @DriftGames,. I prefer the 2nd set of photos to the double denim, but the jacket would look good with them.

Aquamarine1029 · 13/09/2021 15:52

Your figure is absolutely gorgeous. Well done! You must be so proud of yourself!

HumourReplacementTherapy · 13/09/2021 15:54

Wow well done, you look amazing Smile
You're young so you can pull off the double denim. I'd look like Brian May.

Restinblue · 13/09/2021 15:58

You look great in all the outfits although I do prefer your second set of pictures to the double denim. It’s fine though and I wouldn’t think twice about it if I were you.

GreyhoundG1rl · 13/09/2021 16:01

That looks great on you. 5 stone? 👏👏👏

CorrBlimeyGG · 13/09/2021 16:05

The double denim is fine, but you look so much better in the later ones with black jeans. Those pics show your spirit, you look happy and full of life (and hot). The blue ones are just a bit 'muh', they don't do you justice.

lyntheyresexpeople · 13/09/2021 16:09

You look unreal! Middle pic with vest tucked into black jeans is my fave, gorgeous

DriftGames · 13/09/2021 16:14

You guys are amazing! I was expecting some really harsh comments here but you guys have really lifted my spirits!

Ok, so, as for the double denim - fine for comfort/errands, but more fitting stuff works better on me? Will definitely shop to that!

Im not very girly, I'm into cars and I compete in motorsport (hence the username), I drink beer and I like football - but I'm trying to shake the 19 year old male look a little! Grin

Maybe you could try some leather/fake leather leggings/trousers? They may go with your look and are nice and fitted to show of your lovely body.
