More Bargains!

So, I sold some things on eBay.
I have this issue with clothes at the moment - I am an inbetweenie size and it is so difficult to find things that fit.
I needed to replace some of the things I sold on eBay with some things that fitted, but i know first hand how difficult it is to find something that will fit when you are right in the middle of two different sizes.
The solution? Cheat and buy stretchy!
So I logged onto Sports Direct (admittedly, I love the high street shop as well as the virtual one!) and was so excited when it said they accept PayPal - result!! Especially as I had the funds from my eBay sales still sitting in the PayPal account.
I found some stunning bargains on the website and ordered them, I have always wanted a pair of Lee Cooper and or Levi jeans, but have NEVER been able to fit into them (and I refused to order Plus Sizes from the USA at extortionate rates) - and finally, I can actually fit into them, ordinary UK sizes! I was concerned with being an inbetweenie size but I had to order them just to try them, if they don't fit, they can go back - easy! I will actually be the happiest person on the planet if they turn out to be too big! (Being an inbetween size, I ordered the bigger size).

I also got some I will never wear shorts, t-shirts and trousers.

I have decided I needed a style overhaul too - I wear far too many safe colours Blacks/Greys/Navies - I need to brighten up my wardrobe, it was getting a bit dreary in there and with the weight loss, I have a bit of a better figure now too and should hopefully be able to pull off wear more flattering, brighter things. I'm still young, but I dress too safe and old! Time to dress my age a little more.

I have never worn anything slutty, too revealing or distasteful and I don't intend to now, but I feel far better in my own skin now, so I need to get a bit more confident with styling and colours - dress to impress.

Aside from my outfit styles, I need a bit of an image overhaul too.
So I am growing my hair out longer, will pluck my eyebrows more often and will paint my nails different colours frequently.
I'm not a keen make-up wearer and never have been - I never wear any make-up (except on special occasions - even then it's just a bit of eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara - I don't wear any foundation, blusher or lipsticks) and i avoid direct sunlight (I worry about ageing my skin prematurely, re: tanning). I am a born worrier and am very careful with my skin, maybe that's a good thing - hopefully I will reap the rewards of this when I am older.
I rarely wear jewellery - again, except for special occasions.
I keep things too safe - now it's time to step out of my comfort zones. I have to start somewhere and starting with my image will give me a much needed confident and self esteem boost.

Total spend on the Sports Direct website: £62 including delivery - super!
