Just rewards...

I got my 3 stone award officially this week after a few yoyo weeks of being almost there, there and then not by weigh in day!

So what better way to celebrate than to finally shop for a spring/summer coat - getting sick of not being able to wear my tunic tops to work as the only long coat I had was my old-too-big winter one.

Now I was starting to panic after 3 stores including Debenhams, Binns, Next, H&M that I was just not going to have a coat this summer - all had just boxy jackets in. Even the lush lime mac/coat in Next had disappeared and I really had my eye on it.

In the end I thought I'd got to Per Una and see if the Green coat I'd looked at online was in:

£85.00 - but if it was in I'd give it the benefit of the doubt - and it's quite long... but it looked rather nice and I loved the colour.

Ho-hum it wasn't in store and I really needed to try something on.

Well the only coat I really liked that they had in the right size:

It looks really nice on and unbuttoned as we're not quite there yet for the buttoned non-sausage look - and the frayed edges are gorgeous, plus the fit round the back is great - lovely shape for a change!

So I exited £79.50 lighter straight into Principles.

Alas no pics on their website of the top - but it's yet another tunic top - in browns this time - goes nice under the coat. :oD But ever time I have been in that shop, I've really admired this coat - it just reminds me of the Devil Wears Prada coat that I really liked!

Looking forward to my Shopping trip to Newcastle with Zoe in May - who knows we may buy some nice summer stuff with any luck!

Well Done Nat. The coat looks fab. I am sure by may you'll be getting the next size down.

Wow Nat, 3 stone is an awesome amount of weight to lose, i lost 3 stone and 4 pounds a couple of years ago though sadly I put a stone on last year so I too am back to healthy eating and sweating it out, although not in the gym just taking our wee puppy for a walk.

Good luck and loving your clothing choices!!
