A Match Made In Heaven

Sorry its been so quiet here for the past few weeks I've been busy at work and the days I've had off seem to have gone in a flash but i do have an outfit for you all today. I hope you've all had a great few days off work and a nice Xmas if you celebrate. A few weeks ago now I went to the Tshirt Store opening, here is what i wore to that and for food with the hubby!

So here is what I wore, this is a top and skirt from Clements Ribeiro for Evans but I wore them together as I think they look great as one! I found these both on the generous side when I tried them on so the top and skirt are both a 20. I love the skirt and top they are made from a thin jersey so have stretch in them and the print is an amazing glove print!

I really love the length of the sleeves on the top but as it was freezing when we went out so I added my biker jacket from New Look inspire. The jacket is a size 22 and is now in the sale, i love it its really comfy and warm and it added a bit of edge to a pretty girly outfit.

I added my Irregular Choice scotty dog flats and i wore my hair in a bow this was like the 2nd ever time I'd done it so i was pretty pleased!

I'm back at work tomorrow (bonus prize if you can come rescue me!) then off for the New Year do you have any plans ?

The One That Never Was

Hello there you lovely lot how are we all? I'm working extra hours at work so I'm super busy and this means when i get in from work there is no light left to take outfit pics so today is a post of an outfit i wore many months ago but for some reason or another i never blogged about it.

The dress is super cute and summery and was from the Project D line at Simply Be because its been so long since i took theses pics the dress is now out of stock but if you check ebay you might have some luck. As you can see from the pictures i have brown hair which i haven't had for a while as you know!

I decided to wear this with my Beth Ditto cardigan and Irregular Choice scotty dog shoes. This dress is so pretty and lovely for the summer seeing these pictures I'm wondering if i can dig it out from my wardrobe and winter it up.

Finding these pictures from the summer is making me want the sun to come back out so i can wear all my summer dresses and tiny shorts, i think its going to be awhile before that happens!

I hope you all had a great weekend.

XOXO

Spotty Chic

I few weeks ago I was asked by the lovely Dr. Agnès Rocamora who works for the London college of fashion if I would be interviewed as part of some work she is doing on fashion blogging. I of course said yes and a few weeks later we met in Sheffield for a lovely lunch while she interviewed me. I thought I'd show you all what I wore on the day.

I knew I wanted to wear this spotty shirt that Simply Be had kindly sent me to review.

I just wasn't sure what I wanted to wear with it, after a mini panic about not having enough clothes ( this said by the woman with 3 wardrobes I know! ) I spotted my Dorothy Perkins leopard print skirt.

I put them on and it was a match made in heaven! This shirt is beautiful, it has a lovely soft and silky feel to it and unlike other shirts on me the arms aren't dangling down past my fingers! I decided to dress the shirt up but I do plan to wear it with some denim shorts soon for a more relaxed look.

I added a bag from river island that I've had for years, some irregular choice heels and my new black heart creatives necklace. 

The shirt is a size 24 as I do have to size up in anything with buttons, if I don't my boobs are on a constant bid for freedom! This shirt is still available on here for £26.

I had a lovely few hours with Agnès and it just felt like chatting to an old friend :) I can't wait to see her completed work.

What A Girl Wants

I haven't done a wish list style post in a while and there are always so many things that i want so i thought i'd share a few with you.

Simply Be

As soon as i spotted this dress in the Simply Be catalogue i knew i had to have it, its perfect, i just need to decide which colour! Or i might get both!

I'm a bit in love with this blouse too, i love the pocket detail.

Topsy Curvy

So this one isn't clothing but i couldn't not mention it, the girls from Topsy Curvy and some of their customers have done a calendar to support Macmillan Cancer support. 

I love this crochet and denim look dress, its super cute!

Irregular Choice

I love both of these bags but they are sadly out of my price range at the minute but you can get them here and here if any of you fancy treating me ;)

Scarlett & Jo for Evans

Cute leopard print for the office or a night out available here.

I think this would be my perfect work dress 

Hope you all have a great weekend 

XOXO

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

Plus Size Outfit Day- Wedding Bells

So this months theme is wedding bells and myself and other ladies will be showing you our wedding outfits either as a guest or the person getting married.

As you might know i have been married for over two years now so i will show you some pictures from my wedding and what i wore and then a few ootd which i think would work as an outfit for a wedding.

First up is my wedding pictures, we got married on the 13th of December and i was a little chilly but it didn't rain or snow which was good!

My dress wasn't traditional at all i bought it from Vivien of Holloway, the shoes were the first pair my hubby bought me along with the clutch to match, the faux fur stole was one i picked up just before the wedding.

I did my hair and make up myself and left it really simple as i didn't want anything to over the top. I had a great day and felt amazing in my dress. I would re create an ootd with it but its too small now unfortunately but i do still have in my wardrobe.

No onto a few ootd' that i think could work well for a wedding 

I'd be happy to wear any of these to a wedding in fact i have worn the first one to a wedding and it looked great.

Head over and check out the other ladies and their wedding outfits

Plus Size Outfit Day

This months plus size outfit day is all about accessories, i have a few firm favourites when its comes to accessories they are brooches, shoes and lipstick!

As i knew this theme was coming up so I've been saving these gorgeous Irregular Choice to show you now. I bought them a few weeks ago after months of anticipation and i was so excited when they finally came.

I decided to mix colours so i wore the black polkadot dress which I've had a while with a cute pink butterfly brooch my mum bought me for xmas and the light blue and white polkadots from the shoes. The shoes are a size 6 i find that sometimes i need to size up with Irregular Choice and i think i did need to with these.

I decided to keep my face bare and didn't wear any make up i usually like to wear pretty bright lipstick but i didn't want to distract too much from the shoes. These shoes are so unique and cute and as soon as i opened them i fell in love.

I love how an outfit can look so different depending on what accessories you put with it and it doesn't even have to be something super expensive it can just be a little brooch to add a little something extra to an outfit.

Do you have favourite accessories?

Dressed Up To The Nine (lives)

Last week the lovely Louise from Polka Spots And Freckle Dots joined twitter we had been chatting and she had tweeted that she was planning to post about the Ax Paris cat print dress. I had been tidying out my wardrobe recently and noticed that my dress still had the tags on, so i needed to wear it. I suggested that we do a joint post to show you all how we both styled it.

I love Louise's blog and she has a wardrobe i am envious of, lots of pretty dresses with some amazing prints and patterns !

I bought this dress months ago when it first came out and i think i paid about £30 but to be honest i can't remember exactly. I really love the print and the dress itself but i got all panicky that i would ruin it if i ever wore it so its just been sitting pretty in my wardrobe.

I wore the dress with a Asda cardigan that I've had for a while, some Irregular Choice shoes and Tesco tights. 

I bought this dress in a 24 as i needed to size up for the top to fit comfortably because of this the waist is a little big on the dress but its still very pretty and i would prefer the waist to be a little big than not be able to breathe because the top was too tight.

The dress is now out of stock on the website but i do hope they bring another version back this summer maybe with a different animal print on.

The dress has a silky feel to it and it lined so i won't be going see through in the sun, and it has a lovely flare to the skirt that makes it perfect for twirling.

Thats my take on the dress now pop over and see how Louise styled hers Louise's Blog.

Do you keep things for best out of an irrational fear of spoiling them like me?

XOXO
