Asos with a hint of New Look

Forever U Curve metallic pleated dress in rose gold

Happy Birthday to meeeeee! I decided that even though I wasn't going anywhere, that was no reason not to get dressed up. I knew this dress would be mine. It cost an arm and a leg (even on sale and with a discount code on top!) But I am famously a Rose Gold obsessive and have been for about 20 years! That's right. I loved Rose gold before it was fashionable or easy to buy. Honestly, I used to order big rose gold plated hoop earrings from from a company based in America! Ahhhh Silvershake used to sell the best huge hoop earrings, I was devastated when my massive rose gold ones broke after years of wear. Never found any as big or thick that don't cost a small fortune. I can't fathom why they stopped selling their XL hoops but anyway. That was a lovely lil' trip down memory lane huh?!

What I'm trying to tell you is that the moment I saw this dress I knew it would end up in my wardrobe. It had to be mine. Technically its a rosy blush pink dress with a metallic silver coating, but as you can see, the over all effect is rose gold and its lush. Totally lush! This is the 24 and it's a good fit. Biggest size they do annoyingly. Okay if you wear a bigger size but have a smaller waist than bust and hips - which are both pretty free-size - but the waist isn't stretchy.

I felt very glamorous in this, even though I had an eye infection at the time so couldn't wear eye makeup (always a dark lippy to compensate in such circumstances!)

Curves Black Long Sleeve Tiered Peplum Top

This is one of those tops that will come in super handy in spring. It's stretchy and soft Jersey. Generous in size. Love the sleeves!

ASOS DESIGN Wide Fit cuban heel western chelsea boots in pink patent with metal hardware

These were in the mens section, but they CALLED to me! The wide fit in my normal size turned out to be bloody perfect!

Normally when I try mens boots from asos they're way too small on the ankle. These are tight but also stretchy so they work. They're also rather hard to get off lol, but they'll be better after a few wears I reckon!

The sole is so bouncy and comfy. Mould to the foot really well. The toe is obviously awesome and the width is great.

 Also available in other colours. In fact, if you don't need a wide fit, you can get these in a fabulous pastel green or hot pink. Both of which I was pissed about not being able to get in wide fit!

ASOS DESIGN curve wrap smock jumpsuit with button in khaki

Send in.... the clowns.

This is the size 24. Ridiculous. Nice soft and flowing fabric (the kind that shrinks in the wash!) But really. Doesn't work for me! Fyi, I ordered a 20 for comparison but it was too short in the body and a nightmare to get into. It still looked clownish. 

ASOS DESIGN curve jersey wrap smock textured jumpsuit in animal print

Errr yes please! I am digging Asos making stretchy and comfy jumpsuits that I can relax in! 

In the sale and super cheap right now. So comfy. Really loved this. Can sit crossed legged and everything! This is the 24 and I wouldn't go smaller due to having to pull it on over my big bum. Not sure the seams are strong enough!

Does draw attention to the old vag but I care not! Oh one thing to mention. Asos keep describing this fabric as textured jersey. That's misleading as it is not a soft and comfy fabric like jersey. I've never felt Jersey like this and I don't think anyone would think this felt like jersey. It's a bit rough. Not so much as to be uncomfortable, but certainly a bit scratchy compared to regular Jersey.

I don't need an excuse to wear Anna Scholz double silk.

It seemed to match my hair quite well

I wore this Domino Dollhouse dress because I realised that I haven't worn it for ages and I was deciding whether to keep it or sell it.

Wednesday

Ummmm ping pong forever.

SO I had a couple of minutes to take some proper photographs of my outfit on Wednesday....

I was glad to be able to get a decent shot of my new coat - It's one of the only things I kept from my mammoth H&M+ order. It's from the sale and is now sold out I'm afraid, but it's a size 28 (ahem) and it's just what I was looking for.

 So you can see my cellulite ridden thighs in these trousers, but do I care? Hell no!

 I fact I love these trousers and I already can't wait to wear them again.... this time in an even more obnoxious way!

I like them with grey, so I wore my newish jumper and my glittery lightning bolt earrings.

Thursday

I hadn't been an aztec cowgirl for a while, so it was time!

I only ever seem to wear this shirt with this skirt?!

I thought I'd tie the shirt up rather than tuck it in so it would be a bit more interesting.

 Friday

I decided to wear my kelly Brook for Simply Be dress on Friday for a date with my boyfriend.

This is one of the comfiest pretty dresses that I own, and it's quite thick fabric so it's good for this time of year.

Plenty of room in the skirt for a big belly!

Too cold for sleeveless so I had to add a little cardi!

I can't show you my valentines outfit because it's for our eyes only. Valentines was also my boyfriends 30th birthday - witness his magnificent birthday omelette!

I changed in the evening into something more sensible

 A nice fancy-dress outfit to start of the week!

 This dress is mega 80's because it's from the 80's!

 It's a kind of golden mustard colour but it looks a bit green here!

Tuesday

 My skirts are in a drawer so I quite often forget about them, but I wanted something I could happily wear with this jumper which is quite short and doesn't cover my mega belly!

 you can't go wrong with a black pencil skirt can you really?! Easy outfit.

Wednesday

 Casual wednesday.

 I love this jumper but I get very nerouse about wearing white, so I don't wear it as often as I'd like....

 I managed not to spill my lunch down it so that's a bonus!

 I love this little forever 21 necklace - their plus size clothing may be a bit pants, but their jewelry is cheap and cheerful!

 Arrow on quilt!

I had a sneaky trip to simply be so managed to take a snap of my pimp outfit in the altogether!

Thursday

 I'm not Russian, but I love me a cossack!

 This is the boohoo hat I got last week. Very warm, but obviously gives you terrible hat hair!

 See what I mean?!

 I don't think I look good in grey as a rule, but I don't mind it so much when it's not a block of colour, and grey goes with everything so this jumper seemed like a good idea!

 I had almost forgotten about my bit shiny boots from asos, they're very bouncy to walk about in!

Friday

 Lets do another pencil skirt shall we?!

 I love this skirt. I wish I had more like this!

 This entire outfit is stretchy so it was a comfy choice for a tired Friday!

 I got lots of compliments on this necklace at work (which is always nice, particularly when it only cost £5!) but I thought it sort of worked with the cosmic print on my pockets. Space rocks!

 I tried to get a pic of my lipstick which showed the true colour but even here it's looking too dark! I basically found a super bright cerise lippy for £1 in Primark which I can wear without looking like a weirdo! it's not too purple but still has that super bright hot pink look.
