While I successfully made it to two classes and some extra gym sessions the motivation brought about by splurging on a new gym kit (including a very bright magenta bag) did not last as long as I'd hoped. Also I do not look good in 'running leggings'.
In the hope of soon being as slinky as the Cadbury's caramel bunny I've started stockpiling Spring break clothing. This is proving an expensive but effective form of motivation...largely because I keep spending my lunch money.
This weeks inspiration comes in the form of Whistles Carrie Pleat Skirt

Channeling Carrie-Chic while stomping around East London has never felt so good. Unfortunately, my very own 'Mr Big' had his own opinion on the particular shade of neon, I believe it was something along the lines of me resembling an escaped mental patient and not being seen in public with me.
Looks like this one will have to be reserved for‘brunch with the girls’.
As a girl blessed with ample ‘child bearing hips’ (sadly, not a compliment on my youthful fertility) I had initially feared that a combination of gym skirt pleats and a thin waist band might not go far in helping me disguise any lumps and bumps but oh, how I was wrong! It glides over any wobbly areas and only needs the simple addition of a plain t-shirt and some serious jewelry to set it off perfectly.
The Carrie Pleat Skirt is in stores now, priced £95
