Coco avant...cocoa


If only I looked this good in a cut up man's suit...
My friend asked if I wanted to go to Leeds to see Coco avant Chanel(beautiful film), and i figured if i was gonna go to leeds I might as well do some shopping.
To really cement the motivational factor of the clothes, I've done what I always thought I'd never do and bought something to small so I can slim into it.
I have been lusting after this top forEVER, or for a few months at least, but I could only ever find it in a size 20- too big for my boobs, or a size 8-ridiculously small. Today I bought it in the size 8.
This time next year I will wear it.
And I will love it.

Also encountered a really hateful girl and her very camp friend in Miss Selfridge- she was rifling through a rack of skirts and saying- very loudly-
R.H.G: God they're all in FATTY sizes
V.C.F: suits you then
R.H.G:*hits him* yeah RIGHT. I'm a size 6.
*rifles some more*
R.H.G: I mean who is seriously a size(wait for it readers)........ 14!?!?!?!?!?
APPARENTLY SIZE 14 IS FAT!
It's not size 6 but seriously....'fatty sizes'?!?!?!?!
Oooooooh I wanted to hit her.

Hard.

Now I'm off to dye my hair.
If I can't be thin(yet) at least I'll be blonde(er)!

  4. *punches ridiculous girl in face* Once, when shopping with me (when I was size 12-14) my FRIEND (size 8) was looking at leggings, but could only find the ones she wanted in a size 12, and commented to our other (size 8) friend that 'maybe the answer is to get really fat, then we can wear these'.

    ARGH!
