Winter Floral

Sorry its been a bit quiet over here for the past week or so, i have been enjoying a week off which was filled with dancing, shopping, reading and spending time with people i love! I hope you have all had a great week too.
Now this jacket is one that i got in the sale just after Xmas from Matalan i didn't even realise it was in the sale until i got to the till and at only £8 it made my day.

P1076255

The jacket is a size 20 and as its made of scuba material it has plenty of stretch meaning i could get away with a size down from my usual. I was drawn to the print of the jacket as soon as i saw it in store.

I wore this during my week off to go and do  bit of shopping with the Mr and to check out the last of the sales. I didn't find much in the sales but i did get myself a new Stephen King book which I'm hoping to finish by the weekend and some hair dye so my lovely Mr is sorting out my roots.

I wore this with a peplum tshirt that i got from Asda about 2 years ago and my favourite acid wash jeggings which are also fro Matalan. I honestly love these so much i have bought a second pair, these ones are a size 20 from the petite section but when i decided i wanted a second pair they only had them in the Rodgers & Rodgers section so my new pair are still a 20 but a bit longer in the leg and £2 more expensive! Which makes no sense to me at all if you can sell it in the straight size section for £12 I'm sure you could do the same for your plus size section.

This jacket is super comfy and it will be perfect to add to so many outfits. The floral is really vibrant and i love how it is collarless too. I do have a bit of a thing for blazer style jackets and this one is perfect for my collection.

Neon Daisy

Today I'm sharing with you the outfit i wore on Sunday day at Plus North, Sunday was a more relaxed day with a clothes swap and talks from fellow bloggers. I only stopped on Sunday for the swap as i was meeting the Mr for food with Lisa so i wasn't able to stop for the talks. I got some great bits at the swap which i will be sharing with you soon, i even ended up wearing a whole outfit from the swap on Sunday night.

The top was another piece i bought in the Manchester Simply Be store. Again its from Ax Paris but i can't see it on the website anymore unfortunately. I'm not surprised its sold out to be honest as its such a cute easy to wear top.

I'm wearing a size 24 here as i wanted a looser fit to really show off the swing style. The top doesn't have any stretch to it really so i would advise to get your usual size or maybe one size up if you do manage to get your hands on it.

I teamed this with my acid wash shorts from New Look inspire which are no longer in stock, and my trusty New Look jacket. I decided to take this with me to Plus North as i thought it went well with all my outfit choices and i was a bit stuck for space as my case is only really small, but it does look like a penguin so its worth it!

I think i did quite well at packing light for Plus North and i managed not to forget anything along the way. Although when i do forget something while packing its usually the most important thing!
I hope your all having a good weekend do you have any plans?

Leeds Pride

Its been a few weeks since Leeds Pride but i wanted to share my outfit with you from the day. This whole outfit has come from New Look inspire. It was nice weather for Leeds Pride but as i had to set off at 8am that morning i took a jacket as i wasn't sure what it would be like later in the day.

P8105952

This jacket is a size 18 i had to size down by two sizes to get the fit that i wanted. If you want this to be a more oversized jacket then you could always go for your usual size. They had loads in store so if they don't have your size online you could always try your local New Look.

The jacket is really thin so you won't overheat in it and it you are going away and want to take a jacket this would be perfect. The jacket doesn't have any pockets which is a little disappointing but the cut and bright floral design more that make up for that.

I wore my acid wash shorts which are no longer online and this cute leopard print vest i got last year. The short are a size 20, i had to size down to get them to be fitted due to the stretch material. These are really comfy they are made from the softest material ever! 

P8105959

The vest is a size 24 and is a good fit for me. It has a nice gold detail around the neckline which is what made me want it last year. I think the leopard and the floral from the blazer went really well together. I also wore a pair of bright pink pumps which i ended up having to throw away, i think i danced the soles right off!
I took lots of pictures on the day which you may have seen if you follow me on instagram if not and you want to follow me you can find me here.
