Day 9- The item at the top of your wishlist

This has to be the poodle print dress from anna scholz,as soon as i saw the print i fell in love. But a long distance love affair is all it will ever be at a hefty price of £299 its not something i would ever be able to afford. If i won' the lottery then of course but until that day, or the day it goes down to a quarter of its original price, i will have to admire it from a distance.
whats top of your wish list?
Thanks again for stopping by to read.
XOXO

Day 8- something you forgot you have but love

This would be my Beth Ditto Peter pan dress. I was reading through blogs the other day and when I got to Naomi's blog diamond n pearls I saw she was wearing the Beth ditto peter pan dress. She looked absolutely amazing, take a look for yourself. It reminded me that I had this too and even through I love it I'd forgotten all about it and not worn it in ages. This dress is actually an 18 and although it's a little small over the bust it fits well, so if your looking for it and one comes up in a smaller size than you are give it a go. The dress itself is beautiful, a really nice material with a underneath dress so it's not see through. Now I've rediscovered this dress I'm going to wear it more often.
I wore the dress with tights from evans and some plain primark flats. I took one of my first ever irregular choice bags, I call him dog bag as he sort of looks like one,I love the fabric he's made from it has robots on!
I wasn't going to put the last picture in as I'm moving about being silly but I kinda like it so it's stayed.
What have you forgotten about and love?

Day 7 - a special occasion outfit

Well I haven't had a special occasion to wear it yet but it has to be my red 'Joan' dress from the clements ribeiro range for Evans. As soon as I tried this dress on I smiled. I have seen a few reviews that the dress isn't very flattering, this is probably because of the VBO- visible belly outline,I have one in it but I don't care. Maybe this would be less obvious if you had shape wear on but I don't own any so I can't say. The dress is my usual size but I found it to be on the smaller side around the bust. I love the detailing around the shoulders and the colour, I like things that make you stand out. The dress was a lot more than I would usually pay, but for a dress that can make me feel so amazing it's worth it. I'm not wearing tights for a change so you get to see my milk bottle white legs I don't wear fake tan and I don't really like the sun so I'm this white all year round!
I'm also wearing my irregular choice wedges I love the detail in the heel. I got these years ago for a cheap price on eBay and they are really comfy but need reheeling so haven't been worn in a while.
Whats your special occasion outfit?

Quick one

Just thought I'd do a quick post on my day. Hope your enjoying your weekend do you have any plans for the bank holiday?
Today I went into Leeds with the mr as it was free comic book day and he wanted to have a browse. Unfortunately there wasn't any comics left but he did find yet another mask to try on and bought me some Simons cat badges. If you haven't seen Simons cat have a look on you tube I love it.
I bought a lovely vintage dress for £10 I'm sure any plus size ladies reading will agree that vintage plus size is so hard to find. But I'm happy to say I managed to find this yellow dress with white and blue polka dots on yey!
After we'd finished we went to our favourite restaurant in town and I had a yummy steak and brownie for desert. I rarely take pictures of my food,I'm too busy tucking in! I did however restrain myself long enough to show you the cupcakes we got, cookies and creme and red velvet.
When we got back I finished cleaning my dressing room as I couldnt see the floor,(bad untidy Rachel) and tried on the two dresses I got from tesco on my lunch friday. Sorry for the mirror pictures the mr had gone for a nap so I had to take them myself.
Have you been up to much today ?
XOXO

Day 5- your best bargain

This without a doubt has to be my collectif dress. I got this from eBay for a ridiculous £8, it wasn't very well listed and I'm glad because I got an amazing bargain ! The same style of dress on the website is £60 so you can see why I'm so pleased. The dress itself is my usual size 22 and fits really well, the arms are elasticated so stop well in place. It is also made from a slightly stretchy thick material that makes it a great fit and a pleasure to wear.I love the length it's perfect for me I'm 5 4'' but would sit nicely on the knee for someone taller. The print is really nice and I think the buttons down the front add a really nice detail. I would love to own more collectif dresses and would happily pay full price for them, I just wish they would do more larger sizes as these seem to sell out really quickly. Check out their website here they have  more than just amazing dresses.
Do you have anything from collectif ?
What's your best bargain ?

Day 6- something out of your comfort zone

I always wear dresses or playsuits something about separates just doesn't click with me. However I love this outfit, the skirt is from Dorothy Perkins years ago and the cat jumper is from asos curve again ages ago. I think I love this because it's cats and polka dots, my favourites! I always see tops and skirts that I like but I don't buy them because I know I'll never wear them. I love to see how other people put them together but apart from this outfit I never feel comfortable.
Do you have something that's out of your comfort zone but you love to wear?

Day 4 - your favourite print

Well my favourite print would be cat print but there doesn't seem to be much about for us plus size ladies. The print I own the most of and have worn ever since I can remember is polka dots. I love them I don't care if as a fat girl I shouldn't wear them or I'm breaking some kind of 'fashion rules' nothing will stop me wearing them. I own several polka dot dresses, cardigans,shoes and bags, there's not enough words to describe my love of all things dotty. So onto my outfit,again trusty tesco comes to the rescue, this dress is so comfy it is a jersey material but with a lining so it fits really well, I got my usual size but I think you could fit into it if you are bigger it would just be more fitted. I can't find it on the tesco site anymore but it may still be in some stores. The dress has a gathered detail on the side although it's not very clear in the picture.
So what's your favourite print ?
XOXO
