Thought it about time to get myself organised and sort out a face pic.
I saved hard to allow me a two hour make up lesson with photo's and thus Ally at last has an image. I know it's still a work in progress but it has lifted my spirits no end ๐
Yes, the cost! I have to say, it's what has always put me off - never having been very affluent, and there has always been something 'more important'. :)
Yes it was a stretch and now prices have gone silly. ๐But needed some make up experience so it was a win win even if not to be repeated anytime soon.
My personal advice at this juncture is- you are what you Eat and you are what you wear - if you buy cheap you will look cheap an extra few pounds will make you so much better ๐ฅฐ๐ค๐๐
There are definitely different ways to skin the same cat.
Not going to lie, I buy cheap! My cheap is Ebay and FB Marketplace or the odd Charity shop where I try to buy 'new' items that have not been worn. I've had some amazingly bargains from brands like Phase 8 and Monsoon to more mainstream high street names such as Next and M&S inc Per Una. I've just bought a brand new, full sequin, black jumpsuit from the V by Very Curves range (I need a bigger size ๐, I wish I was a couple of size slimmer but hey!) at less than 1/4 of the retail price. Two pairs of brand new size 9 heels at ยฃ6 & ยฃ10 each and a brand new wig (that was expensive for me) but was actually less than 1/3 of the retail price.
Suzzanne does have limitations on the styles of clothing that she buys so the necklines are not too low, skirt lengths are slightly longer and most dresses have at least cap sleeves or longer. Choices are certainly more broad in colour than in my male mode that's for sure.
All in all you can do expensive, cheap! Be savvy, set a budget (my dresses are no more than ยฃ15 but are often less than ยฃ10) and don't be disappointed if you lose out on an item, just move on and look for something else ๐.
The everything ยฃ5 site is full of cheap clothes but some are bankrupt stock, or last seasons that big stores want to shift. An example of this is I bought my wife a dress that original came from Whitestuff at ยฃ65 which I paid ยฃ5.85, 100% cotton. I try to steer clear of too much acrylic/polyester as nothing but static shocks ๐
You look lovely Ally. I bet it felt marvellous to be dressed and pampered to bring yourself out again. :)
Gorgeous photo x

Well hello Ally. You look absolutely fabulous and really happy. Having a makeover is a great experience and to have some pics of the day is great.
Looking fabulous
Great looks and I canโt decide which hair suits you best and loving the dress - itโs really you ๐
Why is it pushing your luck? If you have the pictures then post them here donโt hide them away - you give others hope๐
Thanks so much, it's taken a while to be bold and show my face. Guess I felt comfortable around this company x
Glad you managed to get some Ally time looking amazing
Looking gorgeous Ally, Rachel enjoys a good makeup session with pictures ๐๐
