I can't tell you how blown away I am by this gesture. For those who follow my blog and twitter stream you will already know that for the last eight or so years we have been living on a very tight budget. We rarely have any spare cash for treats and I hardly ever pay full price for anything. I can honestly say that blogging has been the only thing that has enabled my family and I to have all the wonderful experiences, toys and treats in the last 18 months.
Having such a wonderful treat to spend all on myself on NEW clothes is fantastic, although I am already pushing the thoughts of what I could spend that kind of money on for the family, firmly to the back of my head.
I thought I would just pop over to the John Lewis website to browse some of their clothes and shoes to see what kind of outfit I might choose.
What do you think......
or maybe this ........
or this .......
and what about these ....
I promise to update this post with the outfit I actually choose xx
Ooooh!! I am so excited for you! How fabulous! I can't wait to see what you choose! x
ReplyDeleteThank you lovely, I wore the same dress two years running to cybermummy. Was desperate to have a new dress, but at least it still fitted : ) xx Really am totally thrilled, can't wait to go shopping xx
ReplyDeleteThat's fab, and very well deserved too. I'm not surprised to see a lot of white in your choices :-)
ReplyDeleteaww, thank you lovely. What do you think ? White for evening ? maybe I will surprise you xx
ReplyDeleteWow, lucky you! I think the top dress is gorgeous & stylish and you'll be able to wear it for years without it looking out of date.
ReplyDeleteOooooo I like all three but the first two are most definitely you!! Enjoy the shopping xx
ReplyDeleteHi Shona, thanks for comenting, yes I love that one too. I agree, I try to stick to classic styles, so I can keep wearing them (as long as I can keep the weight off ) : ) xx

ReplyDeleteHi Susan, isn't that white one devine ! not sure its right for an evening autumn function, but it is def one I would wear over and over again . xx
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa, thank you so much for taking the time to comment. Its really hard isn't it managing on little money, but I hope I have shown people with my blog that you don't have to live in jogging bottoms and scruffy clothes just because you don't have much money. xx
