Always be the first rate version of yourself instead of the second rate version of somebody else ~ Judy Garland
Gone are the days where I would get a new outfit to go out, or shopping without much need to watch the price really..
Now I shop my wardrobe or sometimes buy something new ~ I’m a sucker for a charity shop & have turned into a brilliant charity shop shopper ~ & love it lol 🫶
With that plus having to hide the deformed tummy shapes, scars etc from the many open surgeries & baggier bottoms on swollen or painful joint days with the above to take into account going out fashions are slightly more challenging ~ but if you put it all together, add accessories, and a big fat smile lol you can look just as good in fact high street fashion these days are so great & in a way more trendy ~ for want of a better word.
Here’s an example of
#budgetstyle
Jeans
@primark (current) love baggy style jeans 👖
Vest
@primark (current) got 3 of these black, brown & this khaki one I’d mentioned these in a previous post as love the fit & texture will definitely get more & love the high neckline too
Boots
@hm last year
Blazer ~ another fab fit I love the padded shoulders and slimline waist line which silhouettes your figure is
@hobbslondon via
@rgphospice (fab find) blazers are always my go to ~ I’ve a good selection & a good blazer will carry you from year to year & season to season ~ a simple vest under on milder days ~ a hoodie, jumper or layer it up on colder days. It can dress an outfit up or wear it casual ✔️🫶
Belt
@ralphlauren (old)
What’s your go to item… 🤔
Anyway happy Wednesday ~ mum & I are away for the night & off on a call the midwife tour tomorrow (meeting a friend for a curry this evening before heading back to our hotel) will pop some posts on my story tomorrow 👍🫶
Bye for now 😘
