I caved and tried some stuff from Asos Curve again.
It's been raining all day, so it seems sensible to start with a vinyl rain coat!
I always wanted this coat! I tried this last year in a 26 and it was too big for me. I ended up keeping the fabulous mint green vinyl coat with faux fur collar because it's lined and good for the cold wet weather, but I never forgot this one.
This is much better suited tothe mad weather we currently have - pissing it down but very warm and balmy. It's thin vinyl, generously sized (this is the size 24 fyi) and has popper and a belt to fasten it.
Okay so I can see why people said this is like a vinyl tablecloth because that's what the fabric feels like, but I don't really care about such things. I just want something thin that will stop me getting soaked when it's raining and fits over clothing easily, which is precisely what this is!
It's lack of a hood is a bit annoying but I normally use an umbrella anyway as hoods so often blow down.
I just didn't like the fabric on this cardi. Also the buttons gape like mad even though it's not particularly tight.
The other thing to mention is that the buttons are stars, which is cute, but they're pretty spiky - I knew they'd scratch me and snag everything they came into contact with. Shame because it's definitely cute!
It's awesome. I loved it.
Okay so it looks a bit like a dressing gown but who cares?! It's ace. Size 22 because daisy street faux furs are very oversized so I size down lots. Big poppers, big pockets.
Great fit, super snuggley, good length and a total bargain. Very similar cut to my elvie blue faux fur but with less structured shoulders.
I REALLY wanted to keep this one but.....
Dammit! Moon and stars! It seems to be sold out now (sorry for the delay in posting!) but it's so oversized that it's sure to come back in stock soon.... maybe
Poppers again, and I'm planning to add an extra one so it does up higher and keeps my neck warm.
Still soft, still oversized in a 22 still awesome! It was so hard to send the purple one back (and honestly if it's still available after payday and still on sale I might have to get it again!) But this one just gave me the feels even more. The colours are just so fun!
I got the 26 and it was huge! Alas currently sold out, but I feel the same as I did about the faux fur. Will surely have returns due to sizing.
Ended up with a 22. It's generous cut and soft crinkle fabric - a favorite of mine during the summer months.
It's super light and comfy and has lovely wide legs. It's going to be perfect for the inevitable heatwave we get sometimes before summer!
Size 26. Not a great shape on me. Slightly crinkley thin fabric that doesn't stretch but feels flexible.
I like the top but not the bottom. And to be honest the print doesn't feel very 'me'!
Size 26. This is a pretty cute dress but I just don't need another black dress..... in fact I'm soon to list a bunch of black dresses on ebay because I have too many and I often put them on and think "meh, plain black just doesn't make me pop now my hair isn't red"
But if you want a bargain LBD then this is a good one. Its thin shell like fabric with a bit of give. The arms aren't very generous (very typical of new look curve). It didn't feel particularly static but its the sort of fabric that can be, so bare that in mind!
Another one of those moments when I know I don't need something but I still want to try it on! Me and plisse don't get on too well because its so static and clingy, but that doesn't really matter when it's bodycon!
Size 24 and very comfy, gorgeous colour, perfect length and sexy deep v neck. Love the sleeves too.
But I don't need it. I sent it back but only because I have a lovely tight dark blue midi dress so I don't feel like I need another. Lush though!
