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.

A couple of weeks ago I made my way to Manchester to have lunch with the @YourSizeYourStyle team and @Bethany Rutter from Navabi. We also did a little fashion shoot which you can see below.


If you are not aware of @YourSizeYourStyle it is the wonderful idea of @The_Em_Edit to have dedicated instagram pages from size 16-30+ that is curated by someone of the same size to showcase what is available and inspire others of the same size.


I thought it was such a great idea I asked to help and now curate the @Size28Style instagram page. To get involved all you have to do is tag your outfit photos on instagram with your size page or if your page is private (we won't see your tag) just send it to us in a Direct Message so we can share it!


Navabi contacted us as they loved what we were doing and wanted to support us and our members. Each member of our team picked a glam Festive party outfit from the extensive Navabi website so we could share it with our members and we also did and amazing £500 voucher giveaway!


Everyone looked amazing the outfits they had chosen for the photo shoot with the super talented and lovely @OliviaJLphoto


The outfit I chose was this stunning Gina Bacconi Burnout Glitter Tunic/Dress. It is available in size16-30 and I am wearing the 28. There is an under layer which is stretchy but fits like a bodycon dress and the burnout layer is loose on top with a tie fabric belt.


I thought the glitter may be scratchy but it is soft and smooth and integrated into the velvet touch burnout design. It really makes the design stand out because of the shimmer.


The shape of this dress is so easy to wear and worked well with my large bust as the belt is not fixed and was able to put where I needed it. It is a relaxed shaped and so comfortable to wear but looks so smart and ready for any fancy event.

On Thursday evening I met up with some Sheffield Blogger friends that you may know already!


Rebecca was home visiting family and is heading back to Canada next month so I wanted to spend some time with her. We met at Meadowhall in Sheffield as it is an indoor mall with great access via train/tram/bus/car.

First stop was Simply Be then Yours Clothing for a browse then try on and ended in a few purchases. Then I had to get some donuts from Krispy Kreme to take home for later. We also bought some chocolate from Thorntons and had a good look around the new Skinny Dip London store.

We had booked to have a meal and many 2 for 1 cocktails at Las Iguanas which I have been to a few times and I am always thrilled with the atmosphere, food, drinks and attentive staff. It really is worth a visit at any time. Rebecca managed to snap some pics of our day.

I wore this cute Halloween Orange Smock style dress from In The Style Curve. This is my second purchase from the new brand and sizing is good. I am wearing a 26 and it fits well although is slightly see through with too long sleeves but for £19 I can make do. It is also available in black or grey.

I love when Gingham season comes around in fashion and I have been after a black rather than blue gingham for a while. I saw this dress on Simply Be and hate cold shoulder style. The dress only goes up to a size 26 and being non stretch material I didn't hold out much hope for it fitting my size 26/28 body but figured I would give this a try and could always send it back if it didn't fit/suit. My issue with cold shoulder styles is that straps rarely cover all my bra and this dress was the same.

I found that the straps were actually sewn lower down so was able to just cut them off with sewing involved and you would never even know there had been straps! (see last photo for before and after) The neck is stretchy but holds its shape and stays up on the shoulders. The waist is elastic making the a super comfortable dress considering the material has no stretch.

It is light and perfect for summer. My only issue is that when sitting it is tight over my belly but it does not bother me to have a vbo so no problem. I loved the embroider detail across the front which does not flap about in the wind. The length is perfect for me but I am a shortie at 5'3'' so if you are taller be aware that it will be shorter on you.

I bought the bag which is actually a makeup bag from TKMaxx yesterday for £10 and threw on some sunglasses, birks and this super lovely hair flower by Kalandra Jane who makes the most beautiful headwear!

Since I love glasses it is hardly a shock that I also love sunglasses! I collect them and have quite a few. These are more recent ones.
For the next couple of weeks I am in Edinburgh visiting my parents and clearing out my old room. Sadly this means not so many OOTDs but I will try to get one or two in! It does mean I get to show you all my sunglasses I have found while sorting through my things. Last chance today to buy from my sale blog!

It has been a little while since I did a FATshion post so here goes! Being of little to no means at the moment I had to stop myself buying this tshirt from New Look Inspire when I saw it online a month or so ago for £12.99. I used to be a tshirt and jeans girl and wore it like a uniform. I have grown into a dress and skirt girl so told myself I didn't need it.

When New Look announced a sale last week I had a look online and saw it was reduced to £5!!! I caved and got it in a size 26 which is bigger than I would normally go for from New Look but figured it would be kinda fitted and I wanted to wear it loose. It arrived today and I tried it on instantly. I love the sleeves and larger round neck. Even the length is good. I am pleased I got it and even more so that I waited and got it cheap! Bargain!

As the weather has been a little warmer I wore this flower print top I got from TKMaxx £12 with leggins and red patent peeptoe sligbacks from Clarks £20 Which allowed me to add my gorgeous patent red lips bag!!! Available from ebay around £25

Its a fun outfit and the bag always gets lots of comments from strangers! Outshines my glasses! lol
