Hope you’re having a brilliant first day of the new month.
Another busy week and I’ve been trying to get into town to change a pair of trousers. There always seems to be something else to do! Anyway, I’ll let you know how I get on next Monday. Oh and don’t forget as it’s the first Monday of the month it’ll be time to review April!
So you all know I’ve been following a Keto diet since January, well I’m pleased as punch to say I’ve now lost a stone! I can’t even say it’s been hard work because with the meals David and I have prepared - it’s been okay. I’ve been allowed Prosecco as long as it’s included in my calories and have had the odd cheat when I’ve eaten cakes and sweets along with some bread etc when I’ve had a takeaway curry. But wow wee when I’ve been scanning piccys I’ve really noticed how well I’ve done. Not only that I feel so much healthier, my tummy is happier and my fitness has improved no end! I’m more or less at a weight I want to try to maintain and one of the main reasons is some saggy skin that’s become quite noticeable! I’m conscious of it but am too nervous to have anything major done so for the time being I’ll try to stay like this!
When I popped to my local supermarket yesterday I had a quick look around the clothes section and along with a couple of other pieces I like, spotted these fab casual trousers. At only £19 I figured they were a great price so popped them into my basket - in a smaller size I might add! Imagine the joy when I tried them on at home and they looked like this. I felt amazing in them and really wanted to share just how different I reckon I look, do let me know what you think (scroll for photo)!
Stripes, do you wear them or does it give you deckchair vibes? I really like to embrace them, especially in Summer when they look great on linen. I’ve got plenty of striped jumpers, tee shirts and tops but haven’t got many bottoms or skirts, so these are going to make a lovely addition to my collection and I know they’ll get lots of airtime.
They’ve also got a drawstring waist which you can gather up for a more fitted feel. Conveniently they’ve also got side pockets which are almost a must for me! I popped on a pair of culottes yesterday to take photos and felt uncomfortable in them because they didn’t haven any! I don’t know what to do with my hands without them! lol!
Finally let’s talk accessories, I opted for my favourite silver pumps which I got in Tu clothing towards the end of last Summer. They look so nice with trousers, jeans and dresses & as I liked them so much I’ve found some in gold! I also plan to get more colours as they look perfect on and are nice easy to wear. If you fancy getting yourself a pair of Mary Jane’s then your going to love the freedom they give you.

Favourite blogger from last week is Kathrine - Kathrine Eldridge who’s styling the pretties dress and trousers.
The waistcoat trend is very much alive and well so I reached for this little black one and love the look. It’s got quite a low front so I wore it with a tee shirt but am planning on either a denim version or possibly one in a neutral cream or beige. Is this a style you’d wear?
