I saw this jacket in a post by The Curve Fashion Festival on Instagram and was shocked and over the moon to discover it was plus size! I had a black New Look Biker a few years ago but I am not into lots of black so have had an eye out for something colourful I could rock.

Of course I headed straight over to the New Look website and found this stunning red version along with a green, yellow, pink and a silver version! It was hard to choose which one to purchase. I ordered the size 26 and also this tshirt and kept my fingers crossed that they would fit.

The jacket is slightly small to zip up but I would probably never wear it closed anyway and I think a bigger size would be too big on the shoulders and long in the sleeves. This is slightly too long in the sleeves but I could easily stitch them up if it bothers me too much. I love the red but still have my eye on the silver version!

This look is inspired by my friend Chattermonkey from instagram. She mentioned she wanted to get the yellow version but had not seen it on anyone fat. She had seen a slim person wearing one with a band tshirt and striped trousers which then gave me the idea for the striped skirt. I had been thinking about what to wear the tshirt with and actually really love this look. I call it Pirate Rock! with added Cowboy boots just to confuse people!

I was one of the lucky ones to get a 99p dress from Yours Clothing thanks to The Daily Mail Online offer! There were a few to choose from and I knew I had to have the spots plus it came with a cute red belt that fits! There are not enough red belts for fats. I want a variety of styles so can someone please make those asap.

The dress is a thick stretchy tshirt material and super comfy. I have a few of these skater dresses from Yours and love them. They are always a good length on my 5'3'' frame and the sleeves on this are a longer length which is a nice detail. The neck has a rounded collar which is a nice finish.

I wore it with my Yours Cowboy Boots. I did a review of the Black ones HERE and loved them so much I just had to get the Brown too! These boots are just fab. Go get them before they are all gone as they are in the SALE now! They are wide fit so size down as they are usually much larger.

Sorry for the blurry pictures! I think my camera is dying.

If you missed my first Challenge then you can see it HERE! For my second choice I have gone with the same style dress but in a bold print that is super cute! This dress again comes in 3 lengths and is of a moleskin feel but on the inside is a slinky silky feel. These dresses wash really well and don't crease and dry super fast. I wish more dresses were made from this fabric as it is fuss free and obviously can be printed in any design!

One more Challenge to come from me! Keep an eye out for it.

So I wore this dress HERE and wanted to Winter it up and this is what I came up with. I love my fluffy cardis in Autumn/Winter and with my Yours Clothing Cowboy Boots this is a Winning Winter outfit for me! I can't say enough good things about these Boots! They really are the BEST! I have worn them a few times out and about and have had NO blisters, rubbing or anything which never happens with new shoes! NOTE: Boots are now reduced to £37.50!!! Go grab yourself a pair before they are gone!

If you follow me on instagram you will have seen my #brogueaddict pictured but to be honest I am just a shoe addict!

I recently ordered these -

I have to admit I have never tried Cowboy Boots before now and must thank Jolene @Razor_Hearts from Instagram for sharing her love of the Cowboy Boot and making me want to try them.


On my most recent Lady Date to Meadowhall we had a good look through the Yours Clothing store and I spotted their Cowboy Boot which has elastic sections to help fit fat legs! They are also in a wide fit. I have never been able to get long boots because of my fat legs but had to at least try them on. To my major surprise they fit! I had to size down which is normal for wide fit shoes. They also come in brown and I really want to get them too!

I wore them out shopping and found them to be very comfortable! No rubbing and no pinching due to the wide fit. I usually have blisters after wearing new shoes a short time so this shows how well these are made. The are real leather and a great alternative to the normal winter boot but I will have fun wearing these in summer too, Daisy Duke style with denim shorts and tartan shirt!

The Cowboy Boot is so versatile as it can be dressed up and dressed down to work with almost any outfit. I am so happy I tried these and fear they will need to be surgically removed from my feet as I will be wearing them so much!
