Simply Hippy

Thursday, December 31, 2015

I wore this Simply Be dress today to go out for food for a friends birthday. I chose it as it is a thick warm material with a little stretch and the print is just super cute and fun. It is quite the retro print and I love a good print.The bell sleeves a slightly too long on me but I am wearing a size 28 and need it for belly room. This is not a skater style. There is less room in the belly area. There is a zip up the back but I never use zips. If I can't wiggle it on over my head then I don't wear it.

I have had this in the wardrobe for a while and been reluctant to wear it for the belly and sleeve reasons but I tried it on this morning and thought it felt ok and I am glad I did because after seeing these photos I will be wearing it regularly! It is always worth trying something on a few times to see if you are feeling it. A bad vibe may just have been that day and you may fall in love with the same dress on another day.

Fat Polka

Saturday, April 18, 2015

Polka dots are a favourite of mine and this black random polka dot dress from Yours is so cute! This is a size 24 and it is a good fit for me. I would say it is sized large. The sleeve length and loose feel is lovely and feels like a Summer dress.

It is a Swing dress so is loose all over but added a belt to give shape. I had a hard time choosing what accessories to put with this as it lends itself to anything really. I went with brown belt and shoes and added the"fat" necklace by Natalie of FancyLadyIndustries.com that my friends Kat of ALittlelLessCatty.com sent me.

Dress - Yours Polka Swing dress size 24 £25

Leggings - Asos

Shoes - Clarks Brogues £60

Belt - Asos Curve

Roses In Blue

Sunday, April 12, 2015

I love a flower print and a collar and this beauty has both. It has a little bit of edge to it with the crosshatching print but the flowers are a delicate watercolour style.

I ordered the 26 and it fit well in this smooth stretch fabric. The dress is only available in size 12-26 and the 26 looks like it is sold out already. It is super comfy and light enough for Summer.

I kept it quite simple with the black and blue theme. This dress is down to £28 from £40 in the sale just now. I can see me wearing this a lot this Summer since it has short sleeves.

Dress - Simply Be Sketchy Skater dress size 26 £28

Leggings - Asos

Shoes - Clarks Brogues £60

Belt - Asos Curve

Glasses - EyeBuyDirect Alondra $39

I wore this dress to the Fat Lady Cake Date in Edinburgh yesterday. I had different glasses and shoes. I discovered a small hole in the dress which is very dissapointing as this was the first time I had worn the dress.

Here are some photos from the lovely date at Mimis Bakehouse in Leith.

Boho Vibes

Sunday, April 05, 2015

You might have noticed the boho 70s style is very on trend this Summer. While out shopping in the Yours store I tried this long tunic in the Burgundy when I was in store a couple of weeks back and had a hard time choosing what colour to get! It is also available in Khaki.

The stretch material is not too thin and will wash well. The crochet around the bottom is a lovely touch. The print is best seen in the last photo. I could have put a belt with this but I wanted a loose fit. I am wearing the 26 and it fits great in the bust and belly. It is something a little different for me but think I will wear it often.

Dice & Dots

Thursday, March 19, 2015

I cannot pass up a good polka dot! When I spotted this cute skirt on Asos Curve I had to have it. I have a couple of the midi skirts form Asos Curve and love them so adding this to my skirt collection was a no brainer! It is a stretch cotton material and is quite thick and heavy with elasticated waist.

I don't own many tops and love the collar on this old Asos Curve dress so decided to double up and wear it as top. The dice bag is also Asos and very me. The strap is very short so just a shoulder bag really but is easily removed for clutch style use. The necklace was super cheap from ebay for about £2 and I snapped up the shoes in the Clarks sale.

Green Day

Wednesday, February 25, 2015

Inspired by my amazing rad fat sister for life Leah of JustMeLeah and her recent green outfit post HERE. I got my green on and this is what it looked like.

I saw this dress on Asos Curve by Pink Clove and I have had a few Pink Clove items in the past. The print I loved but the off the shoulder and for want of a better word, Flap had me not sure. Being a mega boobed lady i need sturdy bra straps and didn't like the idea of showing them but decide I would give it a go at worst could always return it.

Thankfully the necklace has stretch elastic and it stayed covering my bra straps no problem and didn't look odd. The flap was not an issue either and so have brought you this outfit post with the dress having a new home in my wardrobe.

Dress - Asos Curve Pink Clove 70s dress size

Leggings - Matalan old

Shoes - Clarks Brogues £60

Belt - Asos Curve pack of 3 size 26/28 £10

Earrings - Desperate Beatnik

Necklace - Betenoirejewellery Custom "Goonie 4 Life"

Even Franklin liked this outfit and wanted in on the photo action.

Not long until he will be blogging himself! Haha

This print is also available in a top as blogged about HERE by the lovely

Rosie from A Rose Like This.

Lets Go To The Hop

Thursday, January 29, 2015

I got this Modcloth skirt quite a while ago but didn't have a top to hear with it so it has been unworn until now. This top is actually the Beloved Endeavour vintage dress from my last post! The green matched the green on the skirt perfectly.

Do you use dresses as tops? I think I need some frilly socks so I can wear this all summer! The print on the skirt is records and young people dancing. I love it! It is a vintage style so goes with the vintage style of the dress/top. I also like the clashing of polka dots with print of the skirt.

Skirt - Modcloth Bea & Dot Y'all Dolled Up Skirt size 4x $16.99 (£10.02) (sold out)

Top - Beloved Endeavour vintage dress size 30 £15

Red & Green Should Never Be Seen

Friday, February 28, 2014

An old saying that is bollocks! If Red & Green were good enough for Santa then it is good enough for me! I got this dress from Asda for £10. I love leopard print anyway and the green was a bit different. it is one of those fabrics that when stretched it goes white but this is a size 18 and it actually a bit large! Long in length and in the sleeves but hay it was TEN pounds!

Also check out my new spectacles! Polka dots god damn it! Ain't they just the cutest! One of two pair I got from Zenni Optical. I will be doing a proper post about them soon. My awesome Charcoal Designs Cherry necklace and the best of all my boy Franklin in a Christmas Onesie that totally goes with this outfit!
