I'm leaving for America on Tuesday! Packing a year of clothes in one suitcase has actually not been too tricky as I've been pretty ruthless with items and as I'm in the south I can opt for warmer clothes..But I've been rotared into work so much these past couple of weeks. While I appreciate the extra money, I kinda need the time at the moment. I don't want to be recovering from jet lag and a row of tough shifts.
Being a waitress has somehow made me lose a lot of weight! Considering I'm eating a lot of the time (if you dine at a posh restaurant and leave half the food on your plate it will end in a waiters tummy, I was grossed out by it at first but eventually everyone does it paha) and heckloads of carbs, it's quite random but clothes have got looser and everything a bit firmer! What sucks though is the main area I appear to have lost the weight is my boobs and my feet! In fact I've dropped a SHOE SIZE! How rubbish and weird is that?! Chubby feet? haha
Speaking of feet I am a rather proud owner of a pair of Swedish Hasbeens! I got them second hand on ebay for £60 (half the RRP!) and despite being worn once before they appear as new, so happy!
They need breaking in and are still a bit tough.. I'm not sure whether to take them to the USA though? Will clogs look odd in Mississippi? Will everyone think I'm just a European exchange student in native/traditional dress? Thoughts please :) xx
They're the cutest shoes ever!!! Love them x
ReplyDeleteSo funny that you've lost a shoe size! And I'm sure if I worked at a restaurant with delicious food I wouldn't be able to resist the leftovers either. :) It's exciting you'll be in the US for a year! In which part of the south?

Those shoes are adorable! Speaking as an American (albeit, not a Southerner) I think they'll fit in just fine. Unless of course you're wearing a gigantic British flag on top. Just kidding, hehe!
ReplyDeleteOh I love those shoesies!
ReplyDeleteNot sure about clogs in Mississippi... but they're not super "cloggy" looking, so I say go for it!
ReplyDeleteAnd I worked as a waitress for a year of my life (off and on, at two different locations) and I have to say that I'm incredibly proud of myself that I never once ate off of someone's plate, no matter how hungry I was! I would usually charm food off the chefs instead. ;)
OOoh love the look of them, I think you should be able to get away with them. So exciting leaving so soon! :P xx
ReplyDeleteNice love the colour x

ReplyDeleteBloody loves these shoesies! Very jealous.
ReplyDeleteTAKE THEM! Yes, do take these to the USA :)
Leather shoes are always so (literally) painful when you first get them. I usually spend an hour in front of the tv just working the leather so it's slightly softer when it comes time to wear them
