It is always super warm shopping there but it is pretty cold getting there so I decided to wear this sleeveless dress and cardi combo. It was actually perfect as i only started to overheat just as I was finished shopping. 

The dress is a stretchy material but quite odd and the Tartan is printed onto it. I am not sure how well this will wash. Update later. It is quite short even on my 5'3" frame. The cardi is from Primark last winter but I got it at one of the Leeds Plus Size Clothes Swaps. (Sheffield Swap in March! Details to come)

My hubby snapped these shots just before I left and Franklin wanted in on the action.

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 last Halloween but it was too small to make it work. When I saw Banned Apparel had this one I had to give it a try. Banned don't have a website to buy from. They sell their items through other shops so I found this on an ebay store for £24. It is a 4x which is a 22 but I never button up cardis so having one a little small doesn't bother me. I love the Frankie & his Bride patches and the bats on the sleeves are a nice details.
