Apologies to all, the stress of attaching the photo sent me to migraine hell.
I wasn't expecting many responses.
To answer a tew questions
Yes it's anthropologie dress, didn't realise it was An It though!
I like it loose because I'm vrry self conscious of flab and have spent years hiding and tring to blend into background because of weight and self esteem and confidence issues. My mind hasn't caught up with the reality of smaller body.
Bag is Mulberry Amberley, not sure the exact colour, a pake green.
Denim jacket (yes, you were all right, it's a remnant from bigger days) is Matalan. I'll definitely update that for smaller darker and shorter, thanks for the advice.
I would normally wear Air and Grace white leather trainers, but fancied a change - I can see this was a faux pas. Oof.
I'm 55.5 and 5 foot 5.5.
Im a large 16 at the moment I reckon.
I do feel the cold, I think it's common phenomena when You've lost significant weight.
I only have 4 bags, this was the least worst colour wise. And they're all croos-body styles because I flipping love them 🥰.
Tortoise is the creature - phone case is tortoiseshell effect 😂.
Neat corners on bed is because we're in a hotel!
There's been so many lovely comments on this thread, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate them, I dint think many of you could comprehend being significantly overweight for over 40 years, and never really getting a compliment. A tenth of these comments would have seriously made my year, so thank you v to all. 💐💐💐
Also justvon a minor note , the absolute joy of being able to walk into an aspirational shop like Anthropologie and be able to buy a dress is just still incredible to me, after all yhe years of buying the largest sizes in Evans and buyung clothes because well, they just fit, well that joy is immense, it's unbelievableto me and it's indescribable.
I think I've answered most now, excuse typos, brain is still fuggy.
Night night.
