Recently I ordered a load of tights from Snag and honestly I love them! They fit my short and fat body perfectly. This mustard colour inspired me to hunt this very old Modcloth dress out of my wardrobe.

If you saw my previous post I met up with some local bloggers for a bit of shopping and food at Meadowhall on Thursday and I bought this dress from Simply Be. I had not seen it on the website but it is there and on sale! I tried the 26 and 28 and I needed the 28 to fit my bust. It is a smock style dress and I just loved the sleeves and of course the lipstick print! It is a thin polyester non stretch material so would be great for Summer but I will chick on some boots and cardi or jacket and make it work this Winter.

The leggings are Asos Curve cropped version and I always size down in leggings. These are a 22 and they still pull up to under my bust and the elastic waist is not too tight. I also bought the full length version but they are about 5 inch too long on me (5'3'')

I had a much needed haircut on Friday and thought I would take some outfit pics and I don't own hair straighteners so my hair will never look like this again after it has been washed.

I love a bargain and I had seen a few fat babes I follow on instagram wearing this cute lemon print dress but figured it was a non stretch material so kind of put it out of my mind until I spotted it on sale at Simply Be for £15.

Thinking it was non stretch I ordered the 28 as the 26 was out of stock at the time and had a lovely surprise when it arrived in all its stretchy glory! The 28 is loose but not too big and the 26 would have fit a little more snug. The only thing I did do was cut off the ties at the end of the ruched sleeves as they had not purpose and the slapping around annoyed me.

I don.t know how this will wash or if the colour will last but the high neck is perfect as the Sun has been burning my chest recently and this solves that problem for bright days. The length is just on my knee and I am 5'3''.

Can I just say that this Yoshi bag goes with EVERYTHING!!! If you have not checked out their website please do and drool over all the real leather fun designs that have been released for Summer! Seriously so cute!

These glasses were an ebay bargain I just had reglazed with my prescription for Specs-by-post.com my go to for all reglazing! The shoes I blogged about previously and are another bargain from Primark that cost the grand total of £3 and fit my extra wide feet.

I have been waiting for a sweetheart neckline top from Scarlett & Jo for some time and they recently released this beauty! As with all S&J gems they are available in various colours and I bought 3 of them!

What I love most about these tops is that they are long enough to be worn with leggings/trousers and can also be tucked into loose fitting skirts. The material is thin stretchy and Summer friendly. There is a thin tie at the back to give shape and there is a little cuff at either side of the neckline giving a lovely drape detail.

This is a top I will be wearing lots due to easy wear and loose sleeve so help stop those Summer sweats. It flows out from under my but but would be at the waist of someone with a smaller bust and skims over the hips.

I am wearing the size 24 but I also bought the green version in a size 26 which also fits just as well. If you have an extra large bust I would suggest the larger size to stop overstretching of the fabric which can make it a bit see-through on the sides of the bust. The front section has a double layer of fabric to stop this but the 24 is overstretched on my bust so you can see the pattern of my bra through it. I will still wear the crap out of it!

These leggings are also S&J and a size 24. They don't stay up as well at the crotch as older ones I have purchased. I think a change in fabric may be the cause. Still super comfortable and wash really well though.

I really struggle with sandals because of my super wide feet. I tried on loads in Primark yesterday and found these for £3! I did size up for more room across my foot but they do stretch a bit with wear so suggest getting your normal size and breaking them in with socks. These are not good for long walks as they a super flat but perfect for pretty outfits and a stroll. I usually live in Birkenstocks all Summer.

Nothing like a pair of statement earrings to glam up an outfit! These bones are from Sugar & Vice and I love them so much.

This may look familiar because I blogged about the Kim Top version of this print HERE. This is a woven cotton type material with no stretch. It had the same cut as the Kim but more length and a v neck at the back with strap.

This is not the first time I have worn something backwards! lol I actually wear the Vintage Evans Beth Ditto Domino dress backwards as I like the higher neckline. See HERE. I will wear this dress the right way around too but for this the styling worked better with the necklace and v neck.

I am in love with all my Beth Ditto items and the print of this one is just perfection. The tiny Beth heads are just awesome. This is a 3x and is very oversized so will fit anyone up to a size 34 I would say and maybe even bigger.

Gold accessorise and vintage glasses complete this look and I would be happy wearing this to a Summer meal by the beach or a glitzy New Years party! That is what I love about this Collection. Everything is so versatile. The New Collection is just stunning and I have my eye on quite a few pieces!

Finally it is October the month of Halloween or the two and a bit months of Halloween before Christmas in our house! I have a few old Halloween inspired outfits that I have blogged before but will be styling again this month and also some new pieces like this spooktactular swing dress from Topsy Curvy.

I saw Topsy Curvy had a few Skater dress/top Halloween and Christmas inspired styles at The Curve Fashion Festival (get your ticket for next year now! I have bought mine!)and ordered this one although there are more I might still buy! I ordered the 26/28 and I am usually that size and in this dress I needed it for the bust. It is not a HighLow dress but looks like it on me as my large bust brings it up at the front as does the belt bringing it in at the waist. I am 5'3'' for length reference. The fabric has some stretch but the material is white and printed onto it so lots of stretching and you see the white. Your usual size should be fine as it is a swing style so the hips and bum will fit most.

For £20 plus postage this is a great little novelty dress. I will be wearing this a lot this month and the long sleeves are perfect for the cooler weather. Topsy Curvy have a great selection of prints so there will be something for everyone but really your problem will be wanting them all!

Sorry but not the best lighting for these photos even using my light boxes. I am no pro so sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Anyways check me out in this dress! Yes it is another Scarlett & Jo Velvet. I told you I was going to get them all so expect more posts about them.

This is the Midnight Midi with crossover bust. I just love a sweetheart neckline and the these Velvet dresses feel amazing on your body. I just added a couple of little brooches, black shoes (I am on the hunt for navy) a glitter Domino bag, faux fur stole and as always a pair of Desperate Beatnik earrings to complete the look. It is classy and elegant and oh so comfortable. I am wearing a size 26 and it fits perfectly. I also got the black and ruby version!

This is a dress that is fitted to your curves and hugs my belly and if you want a looser fit just size up or if you want it tighter size down and you will still look as fabulous and feel just as comfortable.

I wore this outfit with leggings and brogues to some friends Wedding reception with weekend and felt glam and very comfortable.

This outfit is lovely but I bought the top which is actually a dress but too short for me to wear as one so I have sold it on my instagram sale page @lollylikessale. I love the colour and sleeve length and neckline but it was just too short. It also ripped my skirt when I was undressing so it was not a great day for fatshion in the House of Lolly. I wanted to show you guys this outfit anyway as it is a reminder that dresses can be worn as tops and that you can be sat and still rock sequins!
