I love bold prints and designs on fabric and this Simply Be dress is so fun and pretty that when I saw it in the sale for £24 I had to grab it. If you live near a Simply Be store you should go see their sales items before you order online as this dress was selling for £10 in store! Sadly there is not one in Sheffield.

The dress is a stretchy thick tshirt material and very comfy. I wore out to dinner with Rachel from A Dress Is For Life and our partners. I felt dressy enough and kinda retro which I love. I also wore my newly glazed Dead Mens Spex that my wonderful hubby got me for Christmas.

My camera is acting up so photo quality isn't great but I have tried to shoe details with close up shots at the end.





Above you can see the fab necklace I got from the amazing Chloe at Lifes Big Canvas. Below you can see a more detailed view of the ring print dress.

This Post is a little different since I bought this dress from Simply Be on the Rad Fat Doncaster Shopping Trip. Since so many of us purchased the same dress that day we are linking up to show you how it looks on each of us and how we styled it.

The dress is a silky stretch fabric with paisley print and not something I would have ordered but seeing in the store I thought I would try it on as it was only £10. Once I had it on and saw how lovely it was I had to have it! Along with everyone else it seemed!  The staff in Simply Be were super friendly and very helpful. They informed us of a 3 for 2 deal that was on and how we could best make use of it meaning I got this dress for £6.66! Thank you to the Staff on Doncaster Simply Be and if you have never been then GO! You will not regret it. The store is light and bright and beautifully laid out.

You may think it a little strange that I have teamed Tartan with Paisley but I like it. My Glasses match my pumps. I got the pumps from New Look also on the same trip to Doncaster for £3 in the sale. The Necklace is by Pesky Chloe of Lifes Big Canvas. Her shop is in Birds Yard in Leeds.

This dress is slinky and soft and just lovely to wear. It is lightweight but cozy in this horrible weather because of the higher neckline and longer sleeves. This dress will be worn lots and washes great too!






How cute is this necklace!!! I was informed by my new friend Jen that it is a French Bulldog so I let her name it and she has decided to call him Percy.

Now head over to these ladies blogs to see how they styled the same dress!

Since Rachel and I have a lot of the same dresses we decided to start this Challenge but then we realized more people have the same dresses so if you have the same dress and have blogged about it or have a pictures of yourself wearing it then please leave a link in the comments so others can see how you style it.

This week we have chose the Clements Ribeiro Swan Floral Border Kimono dress from Evans. Originally it was priced at £65. I have loved both Swan ranges they have done and do own a few pieces I managed to grab in sales. After trying on a few of this seasons pieces this dress was my favourite. I had my fingers crossed I would be able to get my size (22/24) in the Boxing Day sales. Then Rachel informed me Toni was selling one in my size on ebay for £15! I bid and won and Toni brought it to the Plus Size Clothes Swap in Leeds for me. I love this dress! The shape the cut and the print. The material has a stretch so id very comfy to wear too.

Now the pictures! Please excuse the Scottish blue legs.....
