Slimming World — January-February 2018

How to love what you’re wearing now and feel fabulous all the way to target – without breaking the bank

Shop while you drop!

Mix, match and multiply!

Accessories are your friend when it comes to getting extra

mileage from a smaller wardrobe selection than you’d usually

have. And, as most are one size, they’ll see you all the way to target.

A basic trouser and tee combo can be updated instantly to

give you loads of different looks. Add a bobble hat, scarf and

boots for day, or colour-pop shoes and a funky bag for evening.

Statement earrings are a great way to try a new trend. Be brave with

colour and look out for geometric shapes and tassels to nail this season’s look.

A stylish scarf is a smart buy as it can be worn loads of ways. Loop

around your neck or use it as a wrap. There are some great YouTube

videos on different ways to tie a scarf if you need inspiration.

Trainers are great for off-duty style and you can just lace them

tighter if your feet narrow as you slim. Go for a fun pair with a bit

of colour or sparkle, rather than something you’d wear to the gym.

Simply Be

Treat yourself

There are some things that are worth spending a bit more on – and some

occasions that justify a splurge!

A really special event, like a wedding or big birthday, deserves an outfit you

feel amazing in. If you’re struggling to work out what suits your new shape, a free

personal styling session in a department store such as John Lewis, House of Fraser

or Debenhams might be just what you need. A personal shopper can give you some

fresh styling and colour ideas, and they’ll factor in your budget, too.

An unstructured jacket or kimono in a luxe fabric is a great way of glamming up

your basics. 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.

Investing in a pretty, well-fitted bra can do wonders for your confidence, and also

help you to look and feel slimmer. Get measured regularly for free at Bravissimo, or

Marks & Spencer and any other major department store.

You don’t have to wait until you’re slimmer to treat yourself – sporting something

new that you love can be a real boost at any stage of your weight-loss journey.
