A dress for a Bar Mitzvah (or, any excuse for shopping…..)



I seem to have lost my shopping mojo recently, I’ve scoured the charity shops over the past few weeks and to be honest I’ve been a bit disappointed. I had these images of shops filled with unwanted Christmas gifts with the labels still on and loads of lovely new handbags – sadly not. I have managed to get a couple of tops, a lovely cream one with a bit of sparkle from H&M (for a night out which actually involved cocktails!) and a black shiny top with sparkly shoulders (for a 40th which included far too much red wine) so I can’t complain too much. Maybe I’m actually shopped out? Have I reached the point where I’ve got enough? No don’t be silly! I think it’s more to do with the fact I’m half a stone heavier than I want to be. This might be something to do with the nights out I’ve had and the subsequent carbohydrate feasts the next day but I won’t bore you with my weight loss journey (did I really just write that??)


Anyway, on a recent trip to the Cancer Research shop, I was just browsing when I came across a lovely little black floaty dress and it was in the sale, yes even charity shops have sales. Rather than thinking “I’ve got loads of black dresses” off I went to try it on. It’s a really nice shape and fairly flattering. And it came to me, my husband and I are off to a Bar Mitzvah soon and I had my excuse to buy it. It was only £2.75 so it’s a bit of a steal. I’ve never been to a Bar Mitzvah before so I have no idea whether my dress will be right. The last time I went to a Jewish do I was massively over dressed but I did kiss Gary Barlow! Lets hope this frock fits in a bit better and I get to kiss another superstar! Xx
