I would add some embellishments to the blazer. Some people have suggested flower appliques. Yes, that might work but I would add more than one. Either on both shoulders, all the way down the sleeve, that sort of thing. Alternatively, maybe make it really funky by adding epaulets on both shoulders and make it look "military". The options are endless.
Wow you are just looking smaller and smaller. You see it soo much now! Well done you 💪🏼 the first dress was gorj on you defo keep!! For the blazer I would just buy a dye colour of your choosing because it really suits you!! Goes lovely with the jeans! ❤
Hi Trina, you are looking fantastic. I just thought you might be able to change the mark on the blazer, by carefully adding a few tiny dots of bleach above the patch, and make it into a "paw print" from your new baby.🐾🐾🐾
You can get bike shorts instead of shape wear if you want to stay comfy. I don't know if you can get spapermint there but if you can they are a good website to get shape wear from. They have a long teashirt that I have and it's long enough to go over my belly that I love. Most shaper tees are not long enough and roll up when you bend theirs doesn't.
Lovely vid as always. I do have a request, please please please come up to the camera closer and for a longer time. I'd love to see the details of the fabrics and prints and for me anyway, you don't come quite close enough or long enough. I loved that Next dress but agreed with you about the others. Interesting haul though. Would love to see a Next and Sainsbury's Tu haul.
The good thing about Vinted is if you don't like it you can sell it on! I've done this lots of times as I'm sure many people have its best to re list than keep something you think you might wear at some point
I'd try & cover the bleach stain up maybe with blusher, sounds odd but I'm sure you could find a shade in your makeup kit and use a small brush to put it on, worth a try, better than dying the whole lot
Love this ! for the Blazer you could always try to bleach the whole thing and dye it a different color... OR you could tye dye it? be a fun little project
That blazer looks amazing on you. I hope you can figure out a way to deal with the bleach stain. It would be really sad if you can't wear it when it looks so good.
I think the ties on the first dress are meant to be wrapped around the back and then tied in the front by the way they are positioned on the front and their length. Also, ive been away from TH-cam for a few months and didn't know you had surgery! Ive been debating on that myself honestly, good for you for putting your health first. You are beautiful at any size, but i can definitely see the confidence change about your body in this video ❤
My experience from dyeing a shirt with a bleach spot is that it will always show the bleach spot, it never ends up the same colour. A pretty floral applique or even some custom embroidery across the top of the shoulders and curving down the sleeve would look beautiful.
That first dress is lovely! Could you tie the ties around the back if you’re not keen on them hanging down the front? The second one looked a bit too big on you, and I agree the darting on the third dress is in a very strange place…it would have looked so lovely with an empire line under the bust rather than around the waist
Dress 1: gorgeous! Dress 2: agree, something about it the cut or.. no idea but seems awkward! Dress 3: cute? But definitely has awkward sewn areas.. Dress 4: such a sweet dress! And agree with alternating the direction! Dress 5: very sexy! It is short, so your comfort first! But love it. Dress 6: gosh the colouring is so nice on you, will be nice to wear once you're comfortable! Blue shirt: the main part of the shirt is nice, the something of the sleeves is a bit much?! The colour is nice though, agree! That blazer is so nice on you. I wonder if you can get some sort of patch for both sides..? Almost as if it's a design thing? If dying it is an option too I'd say that! Hopefully you find a solution 😊
Shame about the blazer it’s really nice on , you could dye it darker or remove the sleeves and wear it as a waistcoat huni ,yes to a next haul and a tTu haul 🦋🩵🦋
I like the shorter purple dress on you! Very nice :) Second hand is always tricky, for sure. Vera Moda is a great brand! I've had a few things from them and they're good quality. As for the blazer... fabric dye. Bring the blazer with you into wherever they sell craft supplies (I'd say Michaels or Fabricland... but I'm in Canada) and ask what colours they have in fabric dye.
Second hand is the way to go! We overconsume massively with clothes and it has a massive impact on people, animals and the environment. Vinted is my fave. You can always sell on if you dont love. ❤
I think the first dress was much more flattering on you than that navy floral one. That Next "two in one" dress is absolutely gorgeous on you. Find an applique the size of the bleach blob mark and sew it on. It will make it a little quirky and definitely one of a kind
Lynn here on Hubby's phone mines playing up 😏, do you think the first dress the belt should be crossed at the front and tied at the back , ? Think tgats what thats about thats why its so long 😊, Take Care Love xx
Dress #1 looks great, try the tie crossing over in the front and tie it in the back. Does that looks better? #2 pretty print but not a favorite, seems a little big for you. #3, agree not great. (Good shapewear feels good on, if its too tight it's the wrong size.) #4 very pretty and light.(For the garden party?) #5 meh, not a fav. #6 save it for fall with some tights. Shirt, color is nice but the design doesn't do anything for you. A shame on the blazer it looks fantastic other than the bleach mark :( So so glad you bought size 22 this time.
Hi Trina! 🙋🏻♀️🇺🇲 ✨ Beautiful pink blazer! -- maybe look for an embroidered patch or set of patches to cover the spot and scatter around the blazer. My Mom had a fleece jacket. She wore it camping. Some embers melted a few holes in it. So she cut out various sized heart shaped bits from an iron on patch and ironed them on. She wore the jacket happily for years. --- That first dress looked nice on you. Maybe try a silk/linen/cotton slip to wear with it. I'm not a restrictive shapewear person either. Hugs & Sparkles! 🫂❤️✨💃🏻
If the blazer outer is cotton/viscose it will dye with dylon machine dye - this won't dye the lining as it looks like that might be nylon and possibly the stitching. If the whole thing is synthetic its a bit more tricky as you need specialist dyes for this. At £2 its worth a go x
Send everything back. Not judging because I had WLS in 1985 and again 7 years ago (to repair an issue). I suspect you realise by now that you will definitely need to have abdominoplasty once you reach your goal weight….and have also had any children you want. I love you as a fashion influencer, but for the foreseeable future, nothing you try try on is going to be where you end up. Don’t waste your cash on it.
Yes definitely to Tu dress (1) Definitely not to dress 2; definitely weird on the hip - it's not in your head! Dress 3 also goes in on the skirt, which is something that regularly infuriates me - what is wrong with a good ol' A-line on the hip for us curvy women! Dress 4 from Next is divine! It has a lovely shape to the skirt
The first 2 dresses was beautiful however it wasn't you, your not carzy the dresses was just the wrong shape A line shapes look perfect on you And as for the pink blazer try iron on permanent applications that way. You can cover bleach spot and wear that blazer cause It's beautiful. When you put the blazer on it made the blue top look like the right length please look back at your video your beautiful.
I would add some embellishments to the blazer. Some people have suggested flower appliques. Yes, that might work but I would add more than one. Either on both shoulders, all the way down the sleeve, that sort of thing. Alternatively, maybe make it really funky by adding epaulets on both shoulders and make it look "military". The options are endless.
Loved the first dress!!❤
Me too
Add a pretty flower patch on the shoulder of the blazer!! A really pretty patch (like a peony) would look super cute!!
Random idea, if the blazer is a bleach stain then how about tie dying it with bleach or a black colour? Could make a fun video too
Would love a next and tu haul. Just discovered Vinted so really enjoyed this x
Wow you are just looking smaller and smaller. You see it soo much now! Well done you 💪🏼 the first dress was gorj on you defo keep!! For the blazer I would just buy a dye colour of your choosing because it really suits you!! Goes lovely with the jeans! ❤
Trina I thought the first two dresses looked great on you 🎉🎉 yes, that's a great idea... maybe you can dye the blazer ❤
That first dress, does it look better if you cross over the tie at the front then wrap it around to the back and tie there?? Just a thought...❤
The purple, floral dress from Next was great.
The first dress is my favourite but i think you're supposed to cross the ties over at the front and then tie them round the back 😊
I was going to say that too 😊
Came to say the same ❤
Loved the video,was looking forward to it.I have been buying a lot of tops from there.I am following you in there.Would love to see more Vinted hauls
Hey wear the shot floral dress as a top with trousers. Super cute!!
Hi Trina, you are looking fantastic. I just thought you might be able to change the mark on the blazer, by carefully adding a few tiny dots of bleach above the patch, and make it into a "paw print" from your new baby.🐾🐾🐾

Have a look if you could dye the blazer or get some appliques to iron on down the sleeves. Wish have some amazing stuff xxxx
I think I am going to try and dye, it’s worth a try!! Xx
@TrinaLouise for a couple of quid I'd say so too xxx
I'd try & cover the bleach stain up maybe with blusher, sounds odd but I'm sure you could find a shade in your makeup kit and use a small brush to put it on, worth a try, better than dying the whole lot
Love the first dress on you, the pattern takes your eyes off the bits you don’t like x
Thanks lovely! 💖
Loved the vlog and your taste in clothes.A Tui and Next haul would be great.x.
Would a suitable brooch cover the mark on blazer ?
You could turn the 3rd dress into a top as the top half fitted really well and looked lovely
Love this ! for the Blazer you could always try to bleach the whole thing and dye it a different color... OR you could tye dye it? be a fun little project
The ties on the first dress could they be tied at the back maybe instead of the front , but its a pretty dress

For the bleach stain on your blazer just buy a couple of flower applicates and sew it over the top and then put another one below that it makes sense.
Second dress looks great too, your in between sizes so could be your on your way to next size down, x
Add some black lace to the hem line, would make it look longer, your doin really well xx
That first dress is lovely! Could you tie the ties around the back if you’re not keen on them hanging down the front? The second one looked a bit too big on you, and I agree the darting on the third dress is in a very strange place…it would have looked so lovely with an empire line under the bust rather than around the waist
The first dress looks great on you😀
I think the shirt dress is supposed to tie at the back. Like a wrap ? Maybe try that ??
Dress 1: gorgeous! Dress 2: agree, something about it the cut or.. no idea but seems awkward! Dress 3: cute? But definitely has awkward sewn areas.. Dress 4: such a sweet dress!

I’d love a sainsburys haul! Had a look yesterday and it was all older women stuff! So if you could find some nicer stuff that would be great.
I will have a look and see if I can find some good stuff 💖💖
Older woman stuff? Find Nicer stuff! How rude!
@@imolamb8434 Rude ?! I’m not going to wear an item of clothing a pensioner wears am I in my 20’s you’re the rude one, silly 🐮
The first one have you tried tying behind back
It was the bottom of the second dress. It was drawn in. It caused it to look bigger in the middle.
The first dress could you tie it up at the back?
The first and fourth dresses are keepers.
I agree ❤
Shame about the blazer it’s really nice on , you could dye it darker or remove the sleeves and wear it as a waistcoat huni ,yes to a next haul and a tTu haul 🦋🩵🦋
That second dress is a asos dress 😊😊
Thank you! 🥰🥰
Like the next dress.

Vinted is my fave. You can always sell on if you dont love. ❤
Tu and Next dresses looked lovely. I love Vinted but haven’t got around to selling on it yet x😊
It’s a really easy process to sell so I would definitely recommend giving it a go! Xx
I think the first dress was much more flattering on you than that navy floral one. That Next "two in one" dress is absolutely gorgeous on you. Find an applique the size of the bleach blob mark and sew it on. It will make it a little quirky and definitely one of a kind
I love Vinted but buying clothes is so risky. I have gotten items that drown me and ones that are way too small and some gems 😂
Lynn here on Hubby's phone mines playing up 😏, do you think the first dress the belt should be crossed at the front and tied at the back , ? Think tgats what thats about thats why its so long 😊, Take Care Love xx
If the 3rd dress wasn’t so clingy would be lovely, the top is really nice x
Dress #1 looks great, try the tie crossing over in the front and tie it in the back. Does that looks better? #2 pretty print but not a favorite, seems a little big for you. #3, agree not great. (Good shapewear feels good on, if its too tight it's the wrong size.) #4 very pretty and light.(For the garden party?) #5 meh, not a fav. #6 save it for fall with some tights.

I trink you have to tie the first dress in the back, thats why the belt is so long.
That would make so much sense! How did I not see that?! 🤣🤣
add a scarf or iton on fun epaulets
First dress is made to tie in back.
First dress was lovely on you.
Thank you! 😘
A cute, iron-on flower applique on each shoulder to cover the bleach spot would be adorable.
Hi Trina! 🙋🏻♀️🇺🇲 ✨

For the blazer you could do a tye-die with bleach over the whole blazer.
What a great haul! That Vero Moda dress is so lovely, just looked for another one on Vinted but can’t see one 😭
Love first dress. I would wrap belt around the waist before tying in bow
You are wider on the bottom half than you are on top try using shoulder pads to create balance. Trust me when I say it's a game changer
If the blazer outer is cotton/viscose it will dye with dylon machine dye - this won't dye the lining as it looks like that might be nylon and possibly the stitching.
If the whole thing is synthetic its a bit more tricky as you need specialist dyes for this. At £2 its worth a go x
Maybe you should cross the straps of the first dress in the front and tie it in the back?!
Dye it in the washing machine
No offence but you need good shape wear. The right one can be a game changer ❤😊
I love the fist dress but the sexond dress is too big on you.
Send everything back. Not judging because I had WLS in 1985 and again 7 years ago (to repair an issue). I suspect you realise by now that you will definitely need to have abdominoplasty once you reach your goal weight….and have also had any children you want. I love you as a fashion influencer, but for the foreseeable future, nothing you try try on is going to be where you end up. Don’t waste your cash on it.
Yes definitely to Tu dress (1)
Definitely not to dress 2; definitely weird on the hip - it's not in your head!
Dress 3 also goes in on the skirt, which is something that regularly infuriates me - what is wrong with a good ol' A-line on the hip for us curvy women!
Dress 4 from Next is divine! It has a lovely shape to the skirt
The blue one with the pink flowers does look strange on you. I'd pass on it. Other things look much better on you.
The first 2 dresses was beautiful however it wasn't you, your not carzy the dresses was just the wrong shape A line shapes look perfect on you And as for the pink blazer try iron on permanent applications that way. You can cover bleach spot and wear that blazer cause It's beautiful. When you put the blazer on it made the blue top look like the right length please look back at your video your beautiful.
