I can't believe I've not posted for so long! This year really has flown by. I've just been getting on with life and enjoying classic activities like meals out and trips to the cinema! Things not to be taken for granted after 2020 times. I've also been buying stuff. So much stuff that I'm also having to sell old stuff to make up for all the new stuff!
I discovered Shein. Disaster! They have too much good stuff. It's cheap, fast fashion, but I couldn't resist trying some bits and when I realised that they sold some really cool stuff I got a bit.... hooked! I feel like my mad shein obsession has finally calmed down, but I've kept some stuff that I'm genuinely in to and wanted to share.
So.... they go to 5xl (uk26) in some pieces but generally 4xl is the biggest size. Happily the reviews are super helpful so you can normally work out what size to get. It comes from China and it's generally quite cheap, but more so because things are always on sale and there are constant discount codes floating around. Not the fanciest fabrics but not everyone can afford fancy fabrics.
I just managed to get some cute stuff that is amazingly hard to get in plus size elsewhere. Like good belts for instance, or affordable lingerie that isn't just bra and pants or a bodysuit.... i have baby dolls now and alllll sorts. I'm obsessed with thier soft lace teddies!
So anyway, here are a few things I've bought and kept. If they've sold out, I'd bet you that they have other super similar items available. I apologise in advance if you also get obsessed with Shein!
I'm not going to lie. I have no idea when I'd wear this, but I am so in love with it that I had to have it! I can't believe I own such a cool dress! Living my best Arabian nights dreams in this!
Fully obsessed and in love with this dress. So wearable!
Nurse? School summer dress? Just feckin' excellent?! Love. It!
Cute isn't it?! Pretty pretty pretty! This comes in 3 colours. I went for the yellow because I don’t have many yellow dresses, but I love the blue and pink too. Very synthetic fabric that’s a tad sheer, but I care not!
POW! Toying with the idea of sewing up the neck a bit, just because sitting down would probably mean an insane amount of cleavage. But I like insane amounts of cleavage so…… we shall see!
Sometimes you want a selkie puff dress. But most of the time you can't afford over £200 for a dress you'll only wear a few times. Bam!
This is so wearable that I've worn it a number of times already. Comfy and so cute! This is now available in numerous colours and I’m sooooo tempted to get more. It’s very comfy and is also super flattering!
I'm still on that cottagecore tip! Loving the porcelain colour scheme. Anyone who knows this blog probably knows how much I love teal.
I love a long sleeved blouse. Planning to order some more to try as they're so handy for work! This is so soft and comfy. Worn to work and just love it!
I added a hook and eye at the top to close up the coat and keep my neck warm (and I changed the button because I didn't like the gold one it came with) but otherwise, this lightweight fury coat is fecking dreamy!
I have some other bits that are exceptionally special, but they’re being save for special occasions so I’m not going to show you yet! You’ll see some stuff in my festive season post after the new year, but for now, I’ll give you a little list of some of my favourite lingerie because there is soooooo much on the site that it can be overwhelming!
So firstly, I’m gonna mention this bra because I have some very low cut, square neck dresses that I’ve really struggled to get a bra for, and this is exactly what I was looking for. I have been looking for a true balcony bra (one where the straps are right on the sides on your boobs (which seems easy if you’re a standard size!) and finally I found one! My boobs are burgeoning out of it but that’s exactly what I needed - lift without the bra showing. Very tricky for a back my size to find straps this far round, which always makes square necks a right pain in the arse!
I have a few of these now. They’re the softest lace and fit like a dream. So comfy! I used to buy super soft lace knickers from m&s that are the exact same lace as these teddies. Absolutely love them!
I sometimes don’t want to wear underwire when at home, but I find that most bralets ride up or fold over and don’t support my tits anyway. I really like the love sets from shein. They are so comfy.
I just like how unusual this one is. I felt so sexy in it that I wore it the same night it arrived. It had a good effect on my significant other!
I have been looking for vintage style plus size lingerie for YEARS! I almost ordered some from a little emo site in America.last year, but the custom charges put me off. Then I found Shein and they have awesome vintage style undies and nighties…. Proper pinup cuteness and period drama nightdresses! I’m saving this set for Valentine’s Day, since it’s pink with hearts on. So effing cute!
What an absolute cracker! I’ve got the turquoises one but it’s sold out. I didn’t see this colour but I might have to have this one too. It’s so soft and pretty! Sera stretchy and would easily fit size 28 and 30!
