Follow my blog with Bloglovin I was not sure about this dress when I first saw it on the Simply Be website but when it arrived and I tried it on, it was love! It is a stretch woven material and the check print in monochrome is cool. I tend to put black and white with red a lot so wanted to try something a little different. I will wear this with red at some point but for now here is my green version. The green belt from another dress and had seen a cardi similar to this...
Follow my blog with Bloglovin My response to the article By Dr Sarah Burnett http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/11554755/The-cynical-lie-that-fat-is-fabulous-and-why-plus-size-bloggers-should-never-be-considered-role-models-for-young-women.html Being morbidly obese is a choice. There, I’ve said it. - Yes! I chose to be fat as I am happy as I am and do't want to continue on a path of yoyo dieting and depression for the rest of my life. But to be honest I am still reeling in shock from having seen Plus Sized Wars on Channel 4 this week. I watched the documentary with a mounting sense of horror, as the so-called Plus Size Bloggers - young, obese...
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...
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....
Pink is not a colour I would normally go for but the dress really stood out for me in the Yours store. I tried on the 26/28 and it was very large. The 24 is generous also and decided to go with it as would more often than not wear a belt. I love Swing dresses because unlike skater dresses they have no seam under the bust. Being a big busty lady the seam can sit too high on the bust and look odd. This is why I wear a belt to give a Skater dress shape but...
I have decided to do more of these posts as people have commented that they like them and I like trying on pretty clothes so it is a win/win really! Having a very large bust I found the cut out looked a little odd on me but I love the colour. Size 26/28 and was a good fit. £26 Link I am not usually one for pink but this was just so vibrant and screamed summer! Wearing size 26/28 and it was very large. Could easily size down to the 24. £26 Link I tried this because I...
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....
Today I got to try on the beautiful Scarlett & Jo dresses in Evans! My favourites from the current collection. I loved this Red Rose Print Prom dress when I saw it on the beautiful Elena of FrivolousMrsD for whom it was designed for. The colour, cut and print are just perfect for me! I am wearing the 28 and need it for my bust. The fabric has no stretch but the sleeves do. I think this may be my favourite of all the Scarlett & Jo designs. Next on was the Black Mesh Insert dress. I am...
