I have lost a lot of weight recently and am hoping to lose more. My clothes are not fitting me great right now and I have a bit of money (probably about £100) to spend on new clothes.
SO high street only as I am shopping this weekend, count off £30 for a new pair of jeans, shoes I am fine with.
What else should i buy?
Am size 18, large of nork, 5ft9, don't really mind my arms (they aren't as bad as my stomach)

for a temporary wardrobe on a tight budget I'd hit Primark I think.

But what sort of thing? I live in longline short sleeve jumpers and v neck long sleeve tops. V dull.

DO I want strapy vests and t shirts or tunic tops or what

do you want a style change?

I'd probably buy basic's and jewellery because even a t-shirt and cardi can be dressed up with a nice longline necklace or something AND it doesn't matter how much weight you loose the jewllery will always fit.

I'd get a decent bra, new look jeans, vest tops (tank style) plain tees, linen trousers, can you wear leggings? then you could get some tunics, i'm a 16 apple shaped, some tunics are a bit hit and mis, feel some make me look bigger. cropped cardis...think accessories are the way to go, bangles, beads, scarves....will jazz up a plain tee. What about a maxi dress? i'm really liking new look at the mo, also 20% off code/voucher floating around. i also read somewhere about carrying a big bag to look slimmer.

Thanks, jewellery/accesories good idea.
Am def getting a new bag, any excuse, I do have one pair of leggings but need more, dunno where the best ones are either.

Bearing in mind I am bigger would a cropped cardie look silly over a long top and leggings?
