A bit of fast fashion is the quickest way to reward yourself while your losing weight. Especially if your moving down the sizes, its such a joy!
The downside is it can be expensive if you need to replace all those clothes, however here are a few tips on what to look out for and how to achieve more for less during your weight loss journey. Primark, Tescos & New Look are all great for bargain lovers - from coats and dresses to bags and shoes.
If your handy ...with a needle, you can make bargain buys look more expensive by upgrading the buttons, adding a broach or hand stiching machined items.
Look for clothes on ebay and in charity shops. Someone else will always be at a different stage of weight loss to you and you can benefit from their closet clear outs.
Invite your friends to a clothes swapping party, its a fun way to celebrate your weight loss and share in each others success stories.
Invest in a pretty and good fitting bra as it can do wonders for your confidence and help you look slimmer. Get measured by Bravissimo & M&S! Remember its important to feel good about yourself during your weight loss journey, don't feel you should you wear old or baggy oversized clothes as that's the quickest way to make you feel terrible and unsexy!
Invest in an unstructured jacket or kimono, buying in a luxe fabric is a great way on glam up your basics and give you that little bit of covering up that you sometimes need. The key to making it fit for longer is to choose a style without fastenings and with dropped shoulder seams, so it looks fashionably loose rather than too big!
Remember to wear colour, there's nothing more dowdy than lots of black, grey and beige! No one is going to feel happy wearing those colours all day, invest in a colour analysis and learn which colours really suit you. It will not only lift your mood but the compliments you recieve will make you feel great.
So celebrate your weight loss in Style, and enjoy starting to feel good about your shape again. If you need any help along the way, or when you've reached your target weight and are looking for a shopping buddy give me a call. x
