I am Scottish and love tartan. I have been wanting a tartan coat for years and never found one that fit my bust until now. I found this beaut in Asda of all place. They only had a size 20 but I tried it on and was surprised how roomy it was. I of course went home and checked their website for my size. It only went up to a size 24 but I figured the 20 was big so would probably be safe with the 24. It is tight over my belly but I can live with it!


Simple old Scarlett & Jo dress and Clarks brogues because brogues are my faves.

Woohoo! Another Lollidot dress from Scarlett & Jo! Yes I am biased since they are named after me but they are also just awesome dresses. I have never been into cowl necklines but thought I would give it a try and I actually love it. This is the first black stretchy fabric lollidot dress and it is perfect for work or play. I am hoping a few more styles in black are released next year. I have been told there is one more lollidot to come this year and is a perfect party dress.

I am wearing the 26 as I was unsure if the bust would be big enough even with the cowl detail I didn't want it to be too stretched so this was the perfect size for me. The fit, length and sleeve length are all perfect and I really have nothing but two thumbs up for this dress.

I wore this to a family celebration at the weekend and just added a couple of blingy brooches to make it extra glam. Brogues are my go to shoes as they are formal and comfortable at the same time and go with almost everything.

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.

This is my 5th dress in this style from Scarlett & Jo and it is safe to say it is my favourite style for Summer! Thanks to the thin and floaty material and loose fit it makes for a sweat free wear even on the hottest of days. The newest versions feature these cute and useful pockets with flap detail. Any dress with pockets gets two thumbs up from me and this is a 100% winner!

This print is also now available in a pink and purple detail which is super lovely and on my wish list of future purchases! The elastic waist is comfortable and gives shape. The length means it is not flashing your lady parts on a breezy day and the v neck back detail is just lovely.

This was the perfect dress for today. If you have not tried this dress I urge you to now as there are so many prints including polka dots and daisies now available.

This was a cute find thanks to Sarah of TonsaBlush on Youtube. She reviewed a few things including this dress from UK Brand WearAll and I had to give it a try.

I had a discount code and have linked to 20% off at the bottom for you to also take advantage.

This is a super stretchy light material that my lace bra is showing its lumps and bumps. Defo go for a tshirt smooth bra. The collar also has some stretch making this a great comfortable Summer item. It does crease and I do not iron but can live with the creases due to the comfort and price.

I am wearing the 26/28 and it fits well but I would not ear this as a dress as I find it a bit short and I am 5'3'' but as a top this is perfect for me.

The pins I have added to the collar are by a brilliant artist called Chris Bourke and you can get these along with other pins of his and his art on his etsy store linked at bottom.

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.

I was in Birmingham with my Bestie for a girls night of shopping and good food and that is exactly what we got! I have been to Birmingham twice before but did not make the most of my day trips. We had booked a hotel a couple of minutes walk from the Bullring Shopping Mall and booked a table in The Botanist for our evening meal.

We shopped until we dropped with a pit stop to Selfridges for cake. We had a little rest before getting ready for our evening meal.

I wore my new Scarlett & Jo Stripe dress which has a pussy bow neckline and cuffed sleeves. The dress comes with a thick stretchy black belt but I wore on old red one to tie in with my new ebay bargain cheapo Lips earrings and bag.

The dress is a thick supersoft stretchy fabric and feels lovely on. It is so easy to wear and love how all the lines line up on the shoulders and the seams on the skirt. It is a small detail that makes all the difference to a stripe dress. The waist has a thin and comfortable elastic to it so you could wear it without a belt and it would keep the shape.

You can also get the same dress in a reverse colourway of white with black stripes. Scarlett & Jo are my favourites for offering more than one option in the same style.

If you have not been to The Botanist or have one near you please try it! The cocktails are to die for and the food is the best I have tried. We only ordered a little selection board and a couple of side but couldn't finish it all. The food is very seasoned with salt and pepper so if you are not a fan of that maybe give it a miss.

I am so pleased Scarlett & Jo have made more prints for this style dress as it is my Summer staple! Obviously it is nothing like Summer just now but that never stopped me wintering up a pretty dress. 

If you follow me on instagram (@lollylikes) you may have seen my issues with this skirt. I have ordered from Lindy Bop before and their largest size is a 26. Sadly I cannot squeeze my bust into their dresses. When I saw they were having a sale I headed over to the site so drool over all the pretty print dresses and found this skirt on sale in a size 26. I ordered it and when it arrived there was a huge brown stain on it and a large white sticker with an arrow pointing to the stain just to be sure I noticed it! I obviously returned the skirt and asked for a full refund including postage which they did no problem. It still cost me to return the skirt to them! No free returns.

I loved the skirt so figured I would order another one and hopefully it would be fine and fit like the previous one fit. The second skirt arrived and guess what! It had a stain on it too! You can imagine by now I am really annoyed! I did not want to pay for another return so decided to wash the skirt and hope that the stain came out. Thankfully it did and fits. It really has made me think twice about ordering from them again. Although I did notice a glasses print skirt new on the site and I am very tempted but grudge spending money on a brand that barely fits my fat body after my previous experiences.

Anyways this is a Scarlett & Jo dress worn under the skirt. I love the top of this dress and it goes great with the skirt. I think this is a perfect Valentine Month outfit with the red and cute Lipstick print and bag. Of course their had to be some glassesporn and why not hearts since it is February!
