Would you believe that a few years ago I wold never have worn red! I was not confident in my size/body and red was just too bright and "look at me". Since then I have learned to love my body/shape/size/self and no colour is off limits!

Red is actually one of my favourite colours now because of it bold and vibrant look. I bought this Scarlett & Jo dress a while ago and only now getting around to show you all how fabulous it is. I feel like a glam air hostess. Come fly with me!

I love a sweetheart neckline and the folded detail of this is just perfect. Being a very big busted lady I am not someone who can wear strapless bras so I really appreciate having the shoulders covered. The polka dot lace sleeves are a lovely detail and are a comfortable stretchy lace. I am wearing the size 26 and originally bought the larger size bout found the bust too big. The material is a cozy cotton sateen with some stretch. It is from the Petite Collection. There are two spits at the back.

Bodycon style is not something everyone likes and it is down to how comfortable you are with your body and showing it's shape. I hate the word Flattering. Why not call is what it is - Hiding. If you want to hide bits then do it but don't put others down for wanting to show off their bits. Now check out my VBO (visible belly outline) I have a double belly which is not bad, it is just what I have.

When I buy/wear clothes I wear them for me and nobody else. My choices are my own and if you don't like it I don't care. Wear what makes YOU feel good/happy.

Party season is upon us and it seamed only right to start it off a bang! This Simply Be Startburst Glitter Velour top from the Partywear Range is perfect for any night on the town or party. I ordered the size 30 for an oversized look but it is smaller than I expected so this size actually fits me well. There are matching leggings available for a bold look.

It is glitter on the fabric so there is a lot of fallout to start. I styled it with some old wet look leggings and love this look. I love velvet/velour and this time of year is perfect for it. This top has a small opening with button at the back of the neck but I was able to just slip it on over my head. I could have added a belt for more detail but liked the loose fit for this look.

The silver glitter on the black is a great contrast and really sparkles! I think if it had been multi coloured glitter it may have been too much but this is a classy look. There are matching Starburst Glitter Velour leggings available HERE for the complete look.

Another Exclusive Scarlett & Jo review for you all with this Flower Print and Collar beauty! This is another sample size 24 and fits my 26 body fine and more importantly it fits my bust! This dress has a crossover bust that is stitched in place so NO gaping! NO pinning needed! Such a simple detail but makes all the difference.

The collar detail at the neck and cuffs make this dress stand out as something a little bit special and the vintage print is very pretty with red, blue and green flower details. It has a true vintage look but made in a comfortable light jersey fabric with a mini tie at the back in black to match the collar and cuffs.

I love all things retro and this dress really ticks all the boxes for me. I have styled it quite glam with sequin fascinator and glitter pumps but I can also see me wearing this as an everyday dress. I like to get the most wear out of my clothes and try not to keep things for only special occasions. I put on a Scarlett & Jo dress and can take on the world with a smile knowing I look great in everything I have from them!

Stay tuned for another 2 Exclusives from the Flower Print Collection and a few more S&J pieces I bought recently!

This is the second of my Scarlett & Jo New Collection. I was sent size 24 as this is a sample and was told that they are sized large. I did not hold out much hope of this fitting me but here it is on my size 26 body and it feels great. The bust has a shaped under seam which comes up in the middle to mirror the V neckline. I would not have a hope of this style fitting my bust in any other brand without sizing up a few times!

I love how it fits my bust and the this new style is just lovely. As with most of the jersey dresses it has a tie at the back and small shoulder pads. These seem to be a little longer and the jersey is thinner with lots of stretch and very comfortable. All the styles from this floral collection are great work or party dresses. So easy to go from a day in the office to a night on the town.

The skirt is full and has little pleats below the bust to add swish! I love a good swishhhh! The thinner material makes these lovely for summer and with the 3/4 sleeves will work for Autumn/winter too. I love floral prints and this has the cutest little daisies and other flowers. It looks like a print my Mum would have worn when I was very young. I love that.

Scarlett & Jo are brilliant at taking classic vintage styles that would not have been available to larger sizes and making them fit comfortably and stylishly on the curvy body. Look out for my other posts soon featuring more of this New Collection!
