My Wasted Wardrobe...An Introduction

Anyone who's been reading for a while may recognise My Wasted Wardrobe as the original name for this blog...When I changed it to BeckyBoops I wanted to keep MWW as a regular feature, so here it is! Enjoy.



I have a lot of clothes. A lot. my wardrobe is rammed, I have boxes with clothes in them, as well as several drawers of clothes. Not to mention the permanently overflowing washing basket...and this is after getting rid of 3 black bags of clothes (1 to my sister, 2 to charity). I think it's safe to say I am a clothes hoarder. I have clothes that don't fit, but I can't get rid of because I want to be able to wear them. I'm not as bad as I used to be, and I have given away quite a lot of the clothes that no longer fit. But still, I have so much clothing.

I'm working to shed some weight, so the more weight I lose, the closer I'll be to wearing clothes I have kept, and the more clothes I'll be able to get rid of. Through July I'm aiming to fit into a couple of dresses that are a little too small, one of which I'm planning on wearing to a wedding at the end of this month. My Wasted Wardrobe posts are the place to be to hear about my clothing challenges. I'll be posting pictures of the clothes, and me in the clothes (where possible!) so keep an eye out for that.

I'll be back soon with some pics of the dresses I want to wear at the end of the month!

Work-Related Jargon

I like my job.

It's based in London, and the people are all great, and I'm gaining some good experience. The commute is a bit of a pain at times, but at other times it's great because I can read uninterrupted for an hour! Additional to reading time, once I procure a tablet I can catch up on the monumental list of TV programs I need to watch! (I will list these at another time!) I could, of course, use my laptop. However I don't fancy carrying this around with me!

Another (debatable) good thing about work is the weekly food shop. yay for free food! We order food for the office, which generally consists of tea, coffee, bagels, alcohol and biscuits. (and various breakfast & luncheon items). Now, I love biscuits. I could eat a whole packet to myself very easily. Can you spot the problem? 

I have no willpower. At all. This is why I'm fat.

So having biscuits just sitting in the kitchen is not helping! I'm not eating packets of them (obviously-that would squander the office's biscuit supply!) but it is still so unbelievably tempting to eat them. Om Nom Nom. To avoid the biscuits I am attempting to eat fruit to fill me up. This doesn't always work, as when I am waiting for my lunch to finish cooking/toasting/whatnot I reach for the biccys out of boredom & hunger!

Such a derp-head.

I will never fit into any of my old wardrobe at this rate...

End of an Era

Uni is finished! Forever! 
AAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Slowly starting to pack up my things, and it dawned on me that if I were to hang up all of my clothes in a wardrobe, I would need three wardrobes to fit everything in. so much stuff that I'm keeping for when I lose weight!

Such a dilemma.

I know the obvious answer is to throw out/give away everything, but I don't want to! Some of it has never been worn, or worn rarely! Can't be throwing stuff out that I'll need again! Wasteful!

Mum is going to kill me.
