What clothing makes you feel a *Million Dollars* ???

Mogsmaw

During lockdown I just got bigger and bigger and more and more fed up. I bought a budget bundle of ( pot luck) viscose and got the most beautiful vibrant jungle print. It is turquoise, jade and magenta. I prepared a pattern with a beautiful corseted waist but I thought “who are you kidding!” So I sewed a simple large shift with it.
I’ve lost a bit and “what holds a lot, holds a little”. But every time I wear it I feel a million dollars, it’s lose and stylish and I love the colours.
Last time a lovely young woman said how I looked so well put together. Oh if only she knew!

Ooooooo FANNNNNNNTASTIC... so there you go.... a million dollar moment.... sounds fabulous ? ? ? ?

Things I've made myself make me feel good. This top I squeezed from a piece of fabric that was in a '£2.99 scrap bag' from Minerva. I made the skinny jeans too. I also feel pretty good when wearing my karate black belt. Although the black silk has largely worn off, that is a sign of dedicated training.

Oooooo look at you.... fantastic .....

Errrr note to self dont upset lizzypopbottle. hahahahaha. Well done to you for taking it up ( karate)

Yes it was! And it goes with my new philosophy (since turning 50, my gift to myself) if I think something mean, keep it to yourself, if I think something nice, say it.
I’ll tell you if I think you look amazing, I know it won’t necessarily make your day, but it won’t make it worse!
My dress , £6.65 for the fabric!

Serendipity, you look fabulous in your dress.

Lucca what a beautiful dress.

Nothing does these days sadly , but probably if I wore a balaclava I’d get some compliments as it’d be a real improvement lol

hollysteers I wear a dress hardly ever, but I’d make an exception for your one, hope it’s my size for when you get fed up with it ?

Is that okay if I mention real leather garment's Moncada men’s vintage leather jacket, It is soo comfy and luxury jacket

Lucca what a beautiful dress.

Thanks

I borrowed a stunning jewelled sari in aquamarine. It was for an Indian inspired ball. I felt a million dollars

Don’t know about million dollars but I felt good in this at Covent garden for my 70th.
Were you at the ballet, Lucca? That's a lovely 4th position.
Navy and white, so elegant.

New underwear always makes me feel good - and I try to "stand up" properly - that makes me feel better.
It's not always about the outfit.
