What not to Wear

I liked the new format..although still tend to watch it for the end transformation! The woman with triplets was so me (apart from i dont have triplets!) with her lack of self confidence and stories of how clothes effected her confidence at school. Thought the whole programme was inspirational for mothers of toddlers to watch..if only we all had the money and guidence supplied by the show!
What did everyone else think?

I thought the eighties throwback woman looked SOOO much better at the end!! Just a haircut did wonders, same for the girl with triplets.It was the haircut thatmade the difference!!
Made me laugh when at the end they said that there is no excuse for mum's not dressing well.How about £2000??? Maybe it could be a new payment from the government for young families??!!!Is it just me or every time you go shopping do you end up buying stuff for the kids?

Thought it was really good. They don't say tts and a*e as much as they used to either! Not so much groping (but I stand to be corrected as I was gassing on the phone at the same time).
Mind you, very few of the mothers with toddlers I know dress so drastically wrong - most of them are pretty trendy!
Great transformations but Sarah's (?) husband could have been a bit more complimentary about her dress!

Prefernot, the trick to making it not hard work is to throw away everything that looks crap. Then you have a vastly reduced wardrobe, so not as much choice, and you look half decent most of the time. You're allowed to keep one crap outfit for gardening/ painting. All part of the de-cluttering mania that has suddenly come upon me.

Am I alone in thinking half the clothes, whilst better in style, where too tight?
What Sara said about the black outfit before Trinny launched into her was bang on IMO.
Don't get me wrong the overall results were much better but I do think T & S do get it wrong sometimes.

I don't know which one is which but her dress sense can be a bit odd! I think it is Suzanna not Trinny (talking about the smaller one not the tall one!)I too thought that some of the mother with triplets clothes, trousers in particular, although a great change were a little bit too tight. But they both looked great. The 80's woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!! some of her old clothes had me in stitches, it just remonded me of what I wore as a young girl in the 80's. Cannot believe no one really told her the truth about her style of clothes!!!!

Hoxtonchick - I cried too. I think most people can relate to that feeling when you go shopping post baby and don't really know who you are anymore. I think the new format is unneccessarily cruel to the 'rejects' th - they go on tv and have their wardrobes ridiculed and then don't even get 2 grands worth of clothes!
