I’m at goal, and in maintenance and I’ve bought so much from vinted, I’m a size 8-10 now, down from an 18. Likely I was bigger to be honest, I didn’t wear fixed waist bands,
Right now I am enjoying wide leg trousers, as they suit my shape, I’m a rectangle with long legs/short body, and a flat tummy now, and they are mainly from Reiss or me +em, people sell them so cheaply and in excellent condition.
I wear them with a close fitting top. I’ve also got some lovely slouchy cashmere blend roll neck jumpers for autumn winter too that seem to go well. I can wear them now, as they don’t make me look bigger, before I just looked like a massive potato in something like that, I also wear a lot of sleeve less tops or silk vests , even though my arms are the only bit of me with loose skin, it’s crepey on my upper arms when I move, but you can also see muscle definition. I don’t really give a shit to be fair. I will take the loose skin.
I was only wearing black before, leggings, black jumpers, stretchy trousers and skirts, now I’m in to neutrals, creams, tan, beige, Taupe, very pale greens and blues and a little navy, I wear a lot of pale colours. I only ever wear black rarely now, and on my top half. Leggings are only for the gym . I never wear them any where else.not even in the house,
its one of my little pleasures actually, getting ready in the morning snd putting some beautiful clothes on, I had a wardrobe clear out and there is now nothing in there I don’t love or doesn’t fit me, its wonderful after years of feeling like shit and looking it, dressing just to hide the fat rolls. Always in the same style, black, stretchy and big.
today I was working from home and wearing a beautiful pair of very pale silk blend seafoam green wide leg trousers, a round neck cream sleeveless vest., both from Reiss. Cost me about 40 quid inc postage and buyer protection, both brand new with tags, and cost 250 odd quid new from the retailer. The trousers are dry clean only, but I cold hand washed in the bath and they came out perfectly, every day I wear something lovely and it does help with the motivation in maintenance.
my husband has also started on the jabs, he’s a stone and a half to go and he’s now also looking forward to buying some new clothes,and having a clear out. Today he put a pair of trousers on he wasn’t able to get into that were very expensive , he bought from the retailer new, and didn’t fit him, he was really chuffed.
