My clothes are getting brighter!!

nixickle

So I've recently reached my goal size of a UK size 8, (I NEVER thought I would say that!!) though I still have just 4 pounds left to go (more just as a safety net, so I can have a few pounds to fluctuate too!) and I can't help buying bright beautiful clothes!! Previously my entire wardrobe was black or grey and now just look at the colour of my coat in my profile pic!! Last weekend I chucked out all of my black larger clothes to make way for these new (& smaller!!) vibrant colours!

Has anyone else found that the more they lose the brighter their clothes get?

I hope you all have a bright and beautiful day (or night as it is here!)

Yayyyy! Well done!

I can't wait til I'm a Size 8 too!

Congratulations! That blue looks beautiful with your dark hair. I'm sure bright pinks and vibrant reds should be in your wardrobe, too! Have fun shopping!

Congratulations and yes, I'm wearing brighter clothes (but I still feel most comfy in black/grey most of the time).

My biggest change is jewelry -- I wore the same earrings for years. About 7 to 10 lbs ago, I started wearing more sparkles & dangly earrings...and necklaces! Hadn't worn those things for 10 yrs or more!

Yes, I've noticed that as well... I tried to start before I lost as a way of shedding the mentality that ONLY black is slimming - since that's a bold faced lie - but I do find as I get smaller, the clothes get brighter. I think it's a direct representation of our SUNNY insides! We're just showing we're happier!

This is a happy NSV! Well done! :drinker:

Yes!!!! I have noticed this too, but tend to still stick to the black/navy/gray basics out of habit. Good for you, your coat looks beautiful and vibrant!

Thanks everyone :-)

Allie: you will get there Im sure, keep up the hard work!

Kimberly: I bought 2 beautiful bright red tops the other day :-) and I've seen a vibrant pink dressing gown which will be a nice replacement to my grey one! (yes I really did buy a grey dressing gown! Which I now really dislike!)

Shanolap: I think you should treat yourself to a nice bright coat :-) you deserve it :-)

Arielle: I fully agree! I'm so much happier and I want the world to see it! I used to think I was invisible in black, but now I don't mind standing out :-)

I wish I could say the same! I still buy gray/navy/black stuff... I'm always afraid it won't go with anything else I own. I was eyeing a beautiful blue-green coat in a catalogue but even my bf talked me out of it "What are you going to wear with it?"

Your coat looks gorgeous, though!

Asyouseefit: that sounds like a lovely coat! How about some skinny jeans and brown knee high boots? Not to go against what your bf said or anything :-p

Gentsevetzak: lol love it! Not sure I'd ever be brave enough to wear anything that bright even once I've lost my remaining 4 pounds! At least you won't get lost in the crowd!

Wow, i love that coat! bright colors for a bright mood as it seems!
And if you dont have things that go with it (hint to 'asyouseefit') buy it anyways and shop on! :-P
