Burgundy and Flowers

This is an outfit that i wore a few weeks ago to run some errands and have a browse round the shops. I wanted something to keep me cool but that felt casual and comfy. I bought these shorts a month or so ago from New Look.

The shorts are a size 22 and fit well, they have an elasticated waistband to the back so they are really comfy to wear. They also have pockets which i think is a must when i comes to shorts. Unfortunately these are no longer on the website however they have these which are quite similar.

The vest top was from New Look last year is a size 24 as i wanted it to be over sized to help keep me cool in the summer. I really like the colour of the vest and it has a nice mesh details to the back of it too.

My shorts collection has grown so much recently and i have got quite a few pairs from New Look inspire. They have a great selection and they are a really good price too.  These shorts will be perfect to see me through the summer and as they are really lightweight they are great for taking away with you without taking up all the space in your bag.

Birthday Girl in Blackpool

A few weekends ago me and Lisa went to Blackpool to celebrate her birthday. We had a lot of fun and many a drink was had! We set off Friday morning like excited kids in the car, i saw the sea first so i totally won that game ( although I'm sure i was the only one playing)
I didn't take that many pictures that weren't selfies or mirror shots but i thought i would share my few pictures with you. If you already follow me on instagram you have probably already seen them.

We had to have fish and chips when we arrived

The Mr by the sea

The Mr had very kindly driven me and Lisa down to Blackpool so we repaid him in fish and chips and warm doughnuts on the way home, he really is the best !

Here was my travelling outfit which is an old Asos curve dress that i just love!

After unpacking we went for a walk around Blackpool and down the pier and of course we stopped for an ice cream! When we got to the end of the pier we spotted several older couples ballroom dancing they looked so sweet and it reminded me of when i used to go with my nan and grandad.

Before we knew it it was time to get ready to party. I wore my new Simply Be cami dress, i really loved it but it was a little weird to be going out in a dress as I'm so used to shorts!

Not sure what i was doing here, but we clearly
party in style check to the hello
kitty cups!

We had such a good night out and i really had a great time, we danced the night away until our feet gave in and we headed back to the hotel. The next morning i was feeling very delicate and took myself down for breakfast at about 7am, never one to shy away from a selfie here i am hungover and hungry!

The next day it did rain unfortunately but it stopped long enough for us to go out and have a look around the shops, buy sticks of rock and snow globes for Lisa. I decided to go for comfit and wore my Yours playsuit.

On Saturday night we headed back out this time i was in my trusty shots and a Simply Be top that i had been lusting over for weeks before it went in the sale a few weeks ago.

Look how cute Lisa looks in the birthday dress

I had the best time ever with my favourite dancing partner, now to decide what town we need to explore next year for my birthday!

XOXO

Cheeky Lace

A few weeks ago i ordered 2 pairs of shorts from Simply Be for my birthday and couldn't wait to wear them. As I'm sure you all know i adore shorts and i will wear them for any occasion so when i saw that Simply Be had new shorts in stock i was so happy! I decide to wear this pair when i went out for a few drinks after work with some old friends.

I wore my Old Navy cardigan which i got years ago while I was in Florida, and the dipped hem tshirt that i picked up in the Simply Be sale for £10 just after Christmas. I really love this top it is so soft i spent most of the day stroking it! Unfortunately its not in stock on the website at the moment but if it comes up on ebay snap it up its so easy to wear!

These shorts are a size 22 and have a little room in them so if you fancy a pair you can just get your usual size. They have stretch to them, so they are really comfortable to wear and they come to mid thigh so they are pretty short. But you all know how i love a booty short.

The shorts have a white lace trim which just adds to the cuteness of them. I cannot wait until the summer when i can wear them with a cami or sheer shirt and bare legs, i did put nude tights on when i went out, as it was pretty chilly.

Bit of a squiffy face in this pic, i blame the hangover!

I have already got a few pairs of shorts from Simply Be and they never let me down they are always cute and a great fit. Every time i check their website i always check the shorts section first, i think i might have an addiction!

XOXO

Spotty Sale

Here is another jumper i picked up from my Doncaster shopping trip, this was a bargain at £15 in the Simply Be sale. I bought it to go with shorts again as i really loved how it looked with them when i tried it on in store.

I really like how the jumper has shorter sleeves and is quite a loose fit. This one is a size 20/22 and has quite a bit of room in it. Its like nothing that i already own, and when i first picked it up it was more out of curiosity of how it would look rather than because i loved it. But I'm so glad i did because now i don't want to take it off!

I think this will be my go to jumper to wear with my shorts and it will be perfect when the weather warms up a little too and we don't need to wear coats to stop us freezing! This colour of jumper is no longer in stock but they do have it in a cute blue colour which Lisa wore here. 

As you can see i am very pleased with my purchase ! The shorts I'm wearing were from New Look in the sale over a year ago so my whole outfit cost me £25 which i think is really good!

I think i might me in the middle of a jumper craze i am loving them at the moment.

Leopard Shots

As anyone who knows me knows i have been wanting a pair or leopard print shorts forever! well eBay finally came to my rescue when i spotted these forever21 leopard shorts. I bid on them and won them for £3.20 so they were quite the bargain!

I wore these shorts as soon as they came through the door i loved them so much! These are a 3xl the largest size forever21 do in their plus size range and fit me perfectly but there isn't much room so i would say the 3xl in these is about a 22.

I love how the leopard print is heart shaped in some places, they are literally the cutest shorts ever! I wore these with my New Look peplum top i got in the sale for £4 and some tights from Tesco. The whole outfit cost me no more that £10 what a bargain!!

I love eBay and the way that generally if you keep looking your leopard print dreams will come true ;) Well mine did and i couldn't be happier than i am with these shorts. This pair of shorts is the first thing I've ever bought from forver21. I'm not sure if I'd buy from them again as i think their sizing might be a bit small  for me most of the time but if a bargain comes up again on eBay then i might be tempted.

XOXO

Dancing Queen

Last weekend me and Lisa decided to go to BGP in Manchester for those of you who haven't heard of it check out the website here. Now I'm sure that those of you who have might have some options on the night, before going I'd heard everything from it being great fun to it being like a fetish night. I went with an open mind, for me you can't really judge it till you try it, and I really loved it! I had a great night, I met some amazing ladies there and the guys that were there were friendly but never in a pervy way.

Me and Lisa got to the hotel early to relax ,get ready and have a few drinks. This turned into a bottle of wine and a bottle of vodka but we do like to start the party early!

I even managed to put fake lashes on myself and Lisa without either of us looking like an extra from a clockwork orange.

Here's what I wore for the night, this picture was taken by Lisa in the hotel but I have recreated it at home where the light is better.

I wanted something comfortable that I could dance the night away in and this was perfect.The top is a bodysuit I got ages ago from asos curve, I adore it and you don't have to keep tucking it in like you sometimes end up doing with tshirts.

The shorts are from Simply Be and I only have good things to say about them! They are a size 24 and fit perfectly they have some stretch and are lovely and short with the cute lace detail around the bottom. Unfortunately they don't have them in stock anymore if they did i would be buying a second pair they are that amazing!

We got to BGP around 9 and chatted to a few people then after an hour or so I decided it was time to dance and barely sat down for the rest of the night. I had a fab time and met lots of lovely people although maybe I danced too hard as my legs felt like they might fall off the next day

Casual Kitty

Today brings another outfit from my recent shopping trip, everything is from New Look Inspire. I had seen this hoodie online a few weeks ago and thought it was cute, of course i did its a cat after all !
When i went into New Look last week i decided to give it a try and see how i looked in a hoodie as its not something I've worn in a few years.

I got this hoodie in a size 26 as i wanted something i could snuggle into and layer up underneath it too. It was £19.99 and you can get it online here along with a fox,raccoon and a mouse. I wore this to do some errands on Sunday with these shorts and it was comfy to wear and it meant i didn't need to think about a coat or a jacket.

 I love the fact the hood has cats ears on it as well as the face on the front its just so cute. I would say you need to size up at least once in this unless you want it to be tight fitting even though there is some stretch to it.

The inside of the hood is leopard print which as you know i love so much! These shorts are a size 22 which I've had for quite a while now, they were the first pair i bought and the start of an obsession for me. I'm sure this hoodie will get worn quite a bit as its perfect for those hungover/ or lazy days. 

I realised how much of a crazy cat lady i looked when i was out in this as i had on this cat hoodie, my cat tattoos were to and i had a cat phone case in my hand!

Velvet Shorts

This weeks omcz post was a free week, now this outfit is not out of my comfort zone but while wearing it i noticed it got a lot of attention, lots of disapproving looks and few tuts thrown in for good measure. Now just because my outfit gets that reaction doesn't mean i don't feel fabulous in it or that i won't wear it again. I truly believe that if you love what you wear nothing else matters and you should never let anyone make you feel uncomfortable in something that you love.
I am very aware that not everyone has my level of confidence or the ability to look someone in the eye who's obviously chatting shit about you and give them that sarcastic, i caught you and i don't care look. In a way this outfit is for you.

I wore these shorts from Simply Be, yes they are short and they have a cut to on the side which makes them look even shorter. They are the most gorgeous velvet and they have pockets too. I went for a size 24 as i tend to size up in shorts and the fit it great they have got room but i think the 22 would have been too tight for me.

I wore them with this lightweight jumper from New Look as i wanted to dress down the shorts a little. The top is a size 24 as i wanted a baggier look and was only £14.99. I absolutely adore these shorts i wish Simply Be could do then in every colour so that i could buy them all! 

As you can see these shorts are short and there is a lot of leg on show but i love my legs so I'm going to get them out and no amount of tuts will ever stop that. I see a lot of people in short shorts but these are the first pair I've seen in a plus size store so thank you Simply Be for giving me something I've been longing for for months!

So I'm not breaking out of my comfort zone this week so why don't you give it a go instead, wear that item that's been in your wardrobe for months or the dress you love but never wear or you could take a leaf out of my book and opt for the tiny shorts!

Polkadot Peplum

There hasn't been too many outfit post recently as I've not really been wearing much and when i have its been mainly the same things. This is one of the outfits that i seem to be wearing a lot recently, i wore it first to Lisa's birthday picnic and since then I've wore it a few more times and i love it!

I did look more put together for Lisa's picnic but the rest of the time I've looked like this, messy hair pulled into a top knot and no make up at all. The top was from the sale rack in New Look and was only  £4 what a bargain?!

I know some people don't love the peplum but i think its cute and i love how this top looks with my shorts. The shorts are also from New Look a few months ago.

You can't see what they say but the badges are my 'i love fat men' and 'i love beards' badges from Funki Munki Badges. This outfit is perfect for the warm weather and is really comfy to wear too. I wish i could get this top in other prints because its perfect with these shorts.

Thanks for reading I have so much to show you over the next few weeks i can't wait! So many cute outfits :)

Have a great weekend.

XOXO

Daisy Duke

I had this post scheduled then i remembered that it was the OMCZ challenge day so i have blagged it a bit!

This fortnights theme was an outfit inspired by a movie/tv character, I've decided with this post to go with daisy duke as she wears shorts shorts too. I'm annoyed with myself for forgetting as this theme was really fun and i can't wait to see the others inspirations.I've also just realised I'm wearing the same shorts from the last OMCZ post, but at least they are getting some good wear!
I recently went into Matalan  for a look at the Rogers and Rogers section and came out with a few bits. I got this dress which is great for work and I've already worn quite a few times and this shirt.
I decided to wear the shirt with my Asos curve shorts and my new converse pumps, i think this is the first time I've worn anything resembling a trainer on the blog!

I got the shirt in a size 24 and it's a good fit a little lose with no gaping over the bust when fastened. It comes with a cami but you can take that out and wear it sheer if you wanted to. For £16 i thought this was a really cute shirt, it comes just past your waist at the front but down to mid bum on the back.

The Rogers and Rogers range at Matalan goes from a 18 to a 30 and i found the size range in store to be good with quite a lot of different sizes available. The range has definitely improved from how it used to be and is one of the places i now look at rather than just walking past.

More Shorts

It's time again for a OMCZ challenge an this fortnights was shorts, now they aren't out of my comfort zone as I'm sure many of you know i love them!

I have quite a number of shorts that i could show you but i decided to go with the pair i got with my ASOS order last week. I really love them and although part of me wanted to wait until they were in the sale i didn't want to mis out on then if they sold out.

I got the shorts in a size 24 and they fit will a bit of room, there isn't any stretch to them so i did order a 24 and 26 and i didn't want to buy one and be disappointed i couldn't wear them if they were the wrong size.

I love the two tone denim of the shorts its different to any of the others i have and they are really soft and comfortable. They are online here for £30, I'm loving all the shorts that ASOS have in stock at the minute, its really not helping my obsession!

I wore the shorts with a Primark top which is a size 18-20 from the nightwear section, but I'm wearing it out as i love it and don't think it looks like a top you would sleep in. I added some Irregular Choice pumps which my mum got me a few christmas's ago and some nude tights so they didn't rub.

I love the top so much and its so true of me, there are plenty of days i'd like to switch places with my cats!

Now go and check out the other ladies and see how they styled their shorts
