Queen of Hearts

I was contacted recently and asked if I wanted to review something from Tesco. I have had several pieces from them over the years including that amazing leopard jacket I never seem to have off my back! I said yes and was sent this dress in a 22, I can fit into the main range at Tesco as a 22 but for anyone larger they do have the True collection which I have bought from before too.

I decided to keep it casual and paired this cute little dress with my converse. The dress is made of stretch jersey and the size 22 is perfect for me but maybe a little short for some of you.

The print really sold it to me and I thought it would be the most perfect summer day dress. You can get your hands on it here for a bargain price of £5 in the sale!

Here are a few other pieces that caught my eye on the Tesco site.
I love this shirt and i think the zip details makes it a little different from the ones i already own.

How fab is the print on this skirt?!

I think this may be a love it or hate it item but i love it!

There is so much more on the site but those were just a few of my favourites who knows maybe some of them might slip into my basket the next time I'm in store.

The 99p Dress

That's right this dress was a complete bargain at 99p! When i saw on twitter that Yours were offering the chance to bag one of their dresses for 99p i jumped at the chance. There was a choice of dresses but i went for the polka dot one as i had seen a similar one last year but never got round to buying it.

I ordered the dress in a size 22 and the fit is great for me. It also came with the red belt which fits, which isn't always the case with some plus size belts that come on dresses. This is a really easy dress to wear, add some tights and a faux fur for the winter or wear it on its own with bare legs for the summer.

The dress is made from a jersey material and has some stretch to it, the size 22 fits me great but if you are between sizes then i would say to get the smaller size. The dress has 3/4 sleeves and comes to just below my knees, so i think it will be a great dress for me to wear to work during the summer.

I also really love the neckline on this dress it allows my tattoos to peak out from under the dress. I am hoping to try to add different accessories to the dress including a leopard print belt which i think would look really cute. With it being a skater dress shape the skirt part of the dress is really full and is perfect for twirling.

You really can't complain when you get such a cute dress for 99p and it was a great way for people to try out Yours clothing if they hadn't before. The dress is available on the website for the full price of £32 if you want to get your hands on it you can here.

Did you end up getting yourself a bargain dress?

Casual and Cosy

Today i thought i would share with you my outfit from work last Saturday. I hate dragging myself out of bed early on a Saturday morning but if i have to i want to be cosy and comfy for the day. So this is what i wore last week when it was still really rainy and windy.

I'm pretty sure you will all have worked out now how much i love these Claire Richards jeans by the amount of times you have seen them over the last few weeks! These jeans have been the most amazing addition to my wardrobe and i have actually ordered another pair of jeans in a damson colour so I'll let you all know how i get on with those.

I decided to wear my Simply Be Ax Paris jumper which i got in January for the bargain price of £10 in the White Rose store. I am wearing a size 24/26 and the fit on me is great but it is definitely small fitting, i had picked up the 24/26 as i wanted it to be a little over sized which it isn't but i still love it anyway.

This jumper is one of the softest that i own, i adore eyelash knits but this is my favourite. I wore it all day and it hardly lost any off its fluffiness and kept its shape. I have another eyelash knit from another company which unfortunately from the beginning didn't keep its shape and now after several wears it  is considerably longer at the back than the front. But I'm pleased to say there is no sign of that happening with this.

Look at all that fluffy!! I really love this jumper and will be wearing it more over the cooler months maybe even with shorts which i think might look cute. If you want to get your hands on this jumper they may still have some in store or you can get it online here.

Dancing Partners

A few weeks ago i went out with my favourite lady Lisa to celebrate my birthday. We met up for food and then spent the evening having a few cheeky drinks and doing a lot of dancing. I didn't get any pictures of my outfit before i went out that day as i had a few issues with tights and hair and false eyelashes which meant i was running around like crazy and getting a little stressed that i would be late.

I re created the outfit so you could see what i wore

I really did not dress for the weather is was pretty cold and really windy then half way through the night it started to rain and i don't think it stopped. My feet ended up getting so wet my shoes were leaving wet footprints on the dance floor but it didn't stop me and Lisa having a great time.

I wore my Tesco leopard jacket which you have seen a few times now, my much loved New Look inspire denim shorts and a cute floral tshirt which i got last summer from New Look inspire but never wore. I think i paid about £15 for it and got it in a size 24. I thought the floral and leopard print went really well together and i loved how this outfit looked even when it was wet through!

I am looking forward to re creating this outfit in the summer without the tights and hopefully without getting caught out in the rain again. 

I hope you all had a great weekend.

I Heart...

Don't worry this isn't another valentines days post just an ootd to show you what i wore today and it features my favourite tshirt ever! I personally don't celebrate valentines day but if you do i hope you have a great day whatever you do.
Here is my outfit from today which has been very wet and windy. Sorry i look a little windswept the Mr took these pics just after I'd finished work.

This is me trying to look normal while the hubby is
pulling faces behind the camera!

Because of the rain and wind i decided to wear my Simply Be Parka which i seriously love! This is a size 22 and a great for me. It keeps me dry and snugly warm but isn't really thick so you don't feel like your wearing a duvet cover.

I really like how the parka has a fur lined hood and trim just inside the coat for a bit of added warmth. I wore my Dpcted Apparel tshirt with the "i heart chubby bearded guys" slogan on and my Claire Richards Fashion World jeans which i am in love with! I cannot believe after not wearing jeans for over 5 years i have found the perfect pair. These are a 22 which fit like a glove they are snug but so so comfortable.

I wore flat pumps too which probably wasn't the most sensible idea as my feet got wet through but they looked cute and I'm a sucker for looking cute. I turned the bottoms up a little on the jeans as they are a little long if I'm in flats but i like that i could take the turn up down and wear them with heels.

This tshirt is one of my favourite items in my wardrobe and after i waited so long before ordering it ( i was worried about customs charges) i like to wear it ever chance i get. I really love this whole outfit, i felt really comfortable all day and it kept me warm and dry too so with the weather we are having at the minute it was perfect.

I of course can't finish a post about how much i love chubby bearded guys without mentioning the Mr, who is the best hubby (and blog photographer) ever.

I hope you all have a great weekend :)

Birthday Girl

I thought today I would share with you my birthday outfit. I wore this on Tuesday to go for food and a spot of shopping with the hubby.

The dress is one I got from the Evans sale a few seasons ago and was from the Clements Ribeiro swan range. I decided as it was my birthday I was going to wear something a little fancier and even put my false lashes on for the occasion. I wore my hair in a bow and it went really well it must have been birthday luck !

I really like this dress and for £20 in the sale it was a real bargain, I would love it even more if it had just a bit more room in the bust section. The waist on the dress is just under the bust section and was riding up a little I think if there was more room up top this wouldn't happen. This dress is a size 22 but the 24 was way too big, id advise to get your usual size in this dress if you spot one on ebay.

I was very spoilt by the Mr who bought me little mermaid, as it's my all time favourite Disney film and the cutest case ever!

We went to do a little shopping before food and as it was my birthday I treated myself to a few bits, including a tongue in cheek tshirt from next.

Crop top and denim pencil skirt from New Look
Tshirt from Next
Eyelashes from Superdrug

It's been a while since the Mr has featured in a post so here he is wearing his favourite ninja turtles tshirt and looking super handsome.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Taking Shape Spring Lookbook

Last week the lovelies at Taking Shape sent me some details on their spring lookbook so i thought that i would share some of these with you.

Love this look it would be great
for holidays

I love the colours in this dress

I think these would be perfect for the summer over shorts or jeans and priced well too.

These light jackets would be fab for me to take to the festivals over the summer especially the pink one, I'd wear it with a simple t shirt and shorts and if its like last year wellies!

And finally these print dresses would be great for the office.

Its finally Friday i hope you all have a nice weekend planned.

XOXO
