This post is another Budget Bridal post in the run up to my wedding next Summer. I wanted to share with you what is available to the large and short lady with a range of styles for under £200!

The Scarlett & Jo dress is The Star obviously! Just look at it! The sweetheart neckline that I love so much. The sleeve length. How the waist and seams pull you in and give shape. The fishtail flare. The sumptuous velvet. This dress just exudes class and elegance and I am in LOVE!

I am wearing the size 28 but could have easily sized down to a 26. The length of this and the other maxi velvets look very long on the hanger but please give them a try on as they do rise on the wider body and this length is perfect on me with a small heel or flats. I am 5'3'' but do have a huge bust that pulls the length up an inch or two.

You may have seen me blog about this Accesorize fascinator recently as it was a very expensive £35 that I would never normally dream of paying for a headband but once I tried it on I knew it had to come home with me and I knew it was going to look fantastic with this dress. Same can be said for the reasonably priced fur stole from Yours Clothing!

I know I am spamming  you all with Scarlett & Jo but it is because they are bloomin fantastic and I am excited about what they are doing and where they are going. It is not very often at all that I love a dress so much that I want it in all colour varieties but Scarlett & Jo have me wanting all their dresses!

This dress is perfect and it is not the cheapest dress out there but it is a classic and will be one you pull out again and again for many years to come for those special occasions. Remember to sign up to the Scarlett & Jo Club to get 10% off purchases!

Continued on from the White Shirt I posted last week here are some other ways to wear it!
The first is classy and smart and the second is more fun with the amazing belt I got from the Swap thanks to Emily! Simply changing shoes and a belt can completely change the look of an outfit. So my love for shoes is never a bad thing! I would love to see some others blog about ways to change up an outfit.

This shirt is still available at New Look Inspire £9 and belt available at Simply Yours £16 also in tan/natural colour.

I am not someone who buys or even owns any item of clothes that are white! Due to my ability to spill anything down my chest! However I was in New Look and spotted this Tuxedo style shirt in the Sale rack for £9 and thought I would give it a go. I love when you can see a bra through a shirt and I think I will wear a black bra next time I wear this. The belt I feel gives me a more finished look and the black and white patent shoes were made for this outfit! Black & White is never a bad combo. Leggings are my best friends when it comes to trousers. I am a shorty and I hate ironing so suit trousers are always too long and wide legged. As long as I wear thick leggings with a short top I feel its fine. When you can see your pants through the material its not such a good look. Which is when a longer top comes in good. I kept this outfit simple with no jewellery as its quite a statement on its own without my large funky jewels complicating the look.
