I’m sure most of us have seen the following body positive mantra by now:
“To get a bikini body….put a bikini on your body!”
It’s something I’ve really taken to heart these past few months, and last year I bought my very first bikini and totally rocked it. Here I am, looking like a total babe…
I’ve been into the Yours Clothing store in the Metrocentre here in Geordieland a few times, but the only thing I’ve ever actually bought were some leggings, and they put me off buying anything more.
I have very thick thighs and to be honest, it can make buying trousers of any description from anywhere quite hard. I generally get my leggings from Simply Be; their size 26 is normally plenty generous for even my thighs.
I didn’t find the same at Yours. The one pair of leggings I did buy from there were a gorgeous teal colour (which is what attracted me; I wanted some colourful leggings but SB just didn’t have anything that appealed), but the fabric was thinner than I was used to from SB, and the fit was much smaller. A size 28 was too tight on my legs. I think, if memory serves, I opted for a 30, but even then, I had to constantly hike them up throughout the day; they just didn’t want to stay up over my ample behind. I could only wear them with longer dresses for that reason.
So, like I said, it put me off trying anything else they had to offer. Which was wrong of me. Knowing I always have trouble with anything for my lower half no matter the outlet, I regret being so quick to judge them based off one experience.
So, for my first Wishful Wednesday, I decided to have a look at the Yours website. As I tend to do, I found myself making a beeline for the dresses.
As I have likely mentioned before, I am a dedicated pizzasister4lyfe. I found the hashtag on Instagram mid last year, joined the fun, and never looked back.
For those who are not aware, the pizzasisters4lyfe are all about 3 things, self love, body positivity, and of course, pizza!
One of my fellow sisters decided to arrange a meet up in London for any UK pizzasister who wanted to attend. At first I thought to myself, being north east based, that I couldn’t possibility attend. But then, niggles of what if started to worm their way in, and I considered that maybe, just maybe, I actually could.
So I went to the Megabus website, and looked up ticket prices. To get two overnight buses would cost me a grand total of £13, with a 50p booking fee.
Decision made…London baby here I come!
Yesterday I went shopping in Newcastle with Megan, and spent some unexpected monies! Next week I get my bonus from work, so it isn’t all bad, I’ll just have to take the sum off that when it comes in.
