You don't look much slimmer if you're wearing too-big crops and baggy tops 
Not much money to spare but today I went to Edinburgh Woollen Mill and in their sale bought a pair of nice thin denim cropped trousers (size 10!), a pretty, pastel striped t-shirt, and a plain white cotton jumper. I went knowing they did the plain cotton jumpers, perfect for cooler late summer evenings, and luckily they were in the sale
Then in my favourite charity shop I found a lovely M&S white linen skirt (size 10 petite
) and a pair of Boden lined linen crop trousers (bizarelly, size 14!). And I only spent £38 Very pleased, as it's all my crops/trousers that are now too big - suddenly it's my butt that's disappeared
A shame that the very nice M&S linen blouse, blue & white pattern, went beautifully with the skirt, fitted perfectly but was about an inch too low at the front
But I shall look out for something similar 
You've worked hard Di and deserved to treat yourself - and what a bargain haul you got there
