I am a size 14 top! I can't remember when I was last a size 14 and although my jelly belly is reducing, its not quite there. It is set to a size 16 and that's fine with me!! I have been waiting for the kids to go back to school so I can go for a try on in the shops. I'm even going to check out the skirts. But to help me I thought I'd buy some magic knickers.
I've talked about the "roll on roll off" type before but I eventually treated myself to ones with built in shorts, they come right up to my bangers (as Auntie Gok would say) and are actually quite comfy - once you have poured yourself in!!
So off I toddled to the shops and found myself checking out the skinny jeans and waistcoats, all of a sudden I was in the changing rooms fighting to get my Cats (boots) off and fight my way into the jeans. I nearly wept when I did them up! And with some clever re sculpting, gaffer tape and no eating for the entire day - I don't look half bad in them!! But its the waistcoat that I've really been looking forwards to getting. I had a couple in my dim and very distant past and I loved them - used to nick my dad's off him, along with his coat and my brother in laws shirts, he was a police man and I loved the epilette holder thingies on them - used to cut the collar off and wear it as a grandad shirt...studded belts...one glove...tons of bangles...blue hair...
