Plus Size Outfit Day

It's that time again and this months Plus Size Outfit Day theme is "your favourite outfits from 2012".
I was really excited when i saw the theme for this month and decided although i haven't been blogging for 12 months i would do my 12 favourite outfits.

So here they are my 12 favourite outfits from the past 12 months. I have linked back to the original posts in case you would like to have a nosey.

1. Leopard maxi dress - I think this is my favourite outfit, not just because i love how i look in it but it was really the start of my maxi dress addiction, i went from none to 8 since i first bought this one.

2. My wedding dress - i didn't go for a traditional dress as thats just not me, i found this online and fell in love, it was the perfect dress for my prefect day.

3. My 50's inspired look - i wore this to wore for the queens jubilee back in june, it was very warm in the thick felt skirt but i just loved this skirt so i had to wear it.

4.Fish! I love an print dress and if that print happens to be of an animal I'm even happier!

5.Plus North - i had such an amazing time at plus north so this outfit is in there because it brings back memories of a great day and meeting new people. I can't wait for the next one.

6.50's diner - i adore the print on this dress and the fact i got it at a bargain price makes me a happy lady.

7.More leopard print - i love this picture and i love this dress :)

8.Skunks in love - this dress is a great fit but my favourite part of the outfit is the kissing skunk brooch.

9.Yes it's another maxi - i told you i had an obsession! I can't wait to get this back out again in the summer, its perfect.

10.Clashing prints - my favourite clashing prints outfit, plus a cute poodle brooch.

11.Little black dress - i love how elegant and simple this dress is and how easy it can be dressed down.

Spotty skunk love

I wore this to work last week it's a lot nicer than the dresses i usually wear but i'd not worn it yet and i was eager to show off my new AMAZING kissing skunk brooch which goes perfectly with the dress. I bought this dress on one of my many recent shopping trips. It was in the sale at H&M for a purse friendly £10, it's original price was £29.99 and for such a great dress i would have paid the full price. I got the in a 2xl I'm afraid i have no idea how this translates into numbered sizing but I'm a 22 and i love the fit on me. The dress is made from a jersey material so does have a fair bit of stretch and has 2 layers to it so it'll be perfect for winter too.

The dress has a really nice detail on the side where the material is bunched up, unfortunately i couldn't get this to show up in pictures. The dress was so comfy and it's a great length on me meaning i don't have to wear tights. The cross front covers well but can easily be placed to show off more flesh if required.

I wore the dress with black pumps from primark £5 and my new brooch. Words cannot describe how much i love this brooch, i really love skunks and loved reading and watching Bambi as a child (many a tear has been shed! ) So when i saw Rowan from Kitchen sink tweet that her one of a kind Bambi jewellery was up for sale i headed straight to the site to have a look. As soon as i saw this brooch i added it to my basket and went in search of my bank card. The brooch is made using pictures from an old Bambi story book and there all one of a kind so no one else will have the same piece as you. The brooch was £19 which is the most I've ever paid for jewellery for myself but how could i say no?!

Have you grabbed any bargains or one offs recently?

What have i been buying

Well the answer to that is not that much really, well in comparison to a usual month not much ! The clothes swap gave me a great opportunity to get some new clothes without having to spend loads of money. You will have seen from my fat swap post the new things that got there, i'm really pleased with the pieces i got.
So what have a been spending my cash on? Well a trip into primark saw me buy these,

I got 2 camis, black and plum £2 each, a pair of leggings £3, heart print headscarf £1.50, black pumps £6, velvet hangers £2.90 and last but not least the most amazing hat in the world £6. I really love the owl hat i don't ever what to take it off my head! its going to be great for winter.

These are from, yours,paperchase and KitschenSink.

The tights £8 and leopard dress £45 are from yours (and yes i do NEED yet another leopard print dress in my wardrobe). The dress i got is gorgeous and a great fit, it can do no wrong. The notepads are from paperchase and where £4.50 for the animal one and £3.50 for the brown one. The brooch was from kitchen sink £19 and is a one off piece made from an old bambi book. This is the most I've ever spend on 1 item of jewellery but i just fell in love and at least i know that no one else will have it.

cutest brooch ever or what?!

I have also bought a few new books after reading bits of them at the fat swap i decided i wanted to read them all, they were all bought from amazon market place.

That's what I've been buying how about you got any bargains recently?

XOXO
