Wardrobe Weekly

 Monday

I think the best thing about the weather changing is being able to wear some of my thicker dresses. This is a firm favourite!

 Dress 24 - Anna Scholz Black Label

Leggings XL - H&M

Shoes - Brako

 The Garnier hair dye I used has lightened my roots to a slightly orange brown and turned my ends black. Mehhhhhh.....

Tuesday

 Dress 22-24 - xclusive fashions

Leggings 20 - Primark

Boots - Primark

Wednesday

 I dressed like a tennis player on Wednesday! I need a green belt to wear with this dress really, but until I find a good one it has to be black!

Dress - Vintage from Traid (size unknown!)

Leggings 20, Primark

Holographic daps - H&M

Thursday

 I was scrambling up wet ladders on Thursday to briefly work on some scary scaffolding, so I had to wear (relatively!) sensible clothing. To me that means jeans and trainers, but nobody said I couldn't wear neon!

 Double polka dots dudes!

Cardi 18 & top 20 - Primark

Jeans US20 - Forever 21+

Trainers - Nike

Friday

My new Brooch from Kate Rowland has replaced my (currently broken) mirror brooch on my mac. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I adore Arrested Development. I managed to turn my sister, my friends, my boyfriend and his entire family into Bluth maniacs with my obsession.... I got one of these for my boyfriends mum too, I'll have to hide mine from her until after Christmas! Very tempted to get on of her parks and recreation ones too!

 I felt sexy on Friday.... you can probably tell from my silly posing? I've always been a poser, from the age of about 3!

I wanted this skirt for ages but couldn't get my size until recently. You know I've been trying to find something with an oriental print for ages. Frankly the plus size offerings for this particular trend have been shit, and I'm a bit gutted about that because it was the catwalk trend I was most excited about hitting the high streets!

 This is my beloved £6 jumper from Primark untucked. I'm so very in love with these jumpers!

Saturday

I have waited AGES to wear this dress! The weather was too warm when I first got it, and it's mega synthetic. Saturday was the day to go for it.

Of course it is a bit nippy so my trusty new look inspire hoodie came with me too!

I LOVE this bright pink 'colour Elixir' from Max Factor.....

 The pigmentation is intense (much more so than with the red version) and it lasted for hours!

 I couldn't resist wearing my trivial pursuit earrings with my multi coloured dress. These were a gift from a friend yonks ago!

 We hauled ass to Brixton for the 'Brixton Come together' festival thingy.  I should have known it was going to be proper weird when I saw this fucking stupid sign...

 I made my boyfriend drag a bag full of clothes I wanted to get rid of (which weren't worth selling) all the way in because it said on the website that they had a donation tent for clothes & kids toys etc. We wondered round for a bit before I got pissed off and asked one of the trendy hipster volunteer types where this elusive donation tent was. Blank looks. 'Ask one of the people over there in the green t-shirts'. Okay, chased one of the other volunteers round, asked her.... 'I don't know, I'll ask them' - 'them' being the two girls who just told me to ask someone else. I yelled this at her as she ignored me and marched off towards the stall of bemused looking girls. A guy was brought into it who said 'errr.... I don't know, just leave it here'. Fine. I'm a grumpy bitch at the best of times, but I hate badly organized events that are staffed by beautiful but clueless people. Plus there was hardly any food so we relocated to the Village for some grub....

... we finally got round to trying 'Wings and Tings' which we've been meaning to try for ages. Oh god don't bother! What a disappointment! A chicken leg covered in reggae reggae sauce does not jerk chicken make! The chicken was cooked but not for long enough to be good - getting it off the bone was almost impossible. the rice and peas was nothing special, nor was the coleslaw, and the mango salsa was mango with fucking massive chunks of raw ginger. Basically it was balls, and it's not just me being fussy, my fella (who has much lower standards than me when it comes to food!) also thought it was balls! I was annoyed because there are some great Caribbean food places in Brixton.... if you find yourself here craving Caribbean (and don't mind a 10 minute walk or a short bus ride) get your ass to Negril on Brixton Hill - it's damn tasty. If you want a good place in the centre go for Bamoula round the corner from McDonalds.... slow service, good food!

We cheered ourselves up with cake from the tiny shop near Agile Rabbit (can never remember it's name but let me tell you, their 3 tiered orange and courgette cake with cinnamon frosting is moist and DELICIOUS!), on the way back to the weird festival. £5 for a glass of ice with a slosh of cheap red wine with some apple in it (or sangria as the stall called it!) and I got over my bad mood and danced to the madness that was 'Prince Fatty'. We only went to the thing to see Omar if I'm honest (his new album is actually pretty good!), and he turned up late, was stroppy with the sound man, sang for 10 minutes then left! Not impressed.... it was a wash out, and my lovely outfit was wasted on it!

Earrings - Gift... no idea where from!

Sunday

Neck sewn up on my Pocket Rocket cute-as-a-button dress, so took it out for a Sunday roast! I really couldn't be arsed to cook much this weekend, we have eaten out SO much this week!

I added my tiny cassette tape earrings because they match the colours perfectly!

 Yeah.... look at them there in that kitchen cooking up some mega Yorkshire puds! The food in the Florence Herne Hill is always good.

 Greedy bitch!

And before I forget....

 I forgot to put this t-shirt in my Primani post because I have hidden it away until December, but Christmas has arrived at Primark! I couldn't resist this £5 tee!

The sale tights I got actually fit quite well and are very soft and comfy. They come up to my waist - Ideally I'd like them to pull up to my bra, but it's more important that they are soft between my thighs... they feel like they won't chafe me! I may have to try the 120 denier feel black tights Primark have at the moment.... they felt super stretchy and super soft but didn't have any XL at the till & I didn't want to queue again!

I'm about to list a ton of items on ebay... I'll put a link up on twitter in case anyone is interested!

Wardrobe weekly

This is what I've been wearing this week....

Saturday

 Making my smart black maxi a bit more casual! I normally wear this dress with a mega plunge bra but just a regular bra today and a safety pin to keep my norks under control!

Head to toe in Primark!

Sunday... didn't get dressed!

Monday

 Smart but comfy today. I've been waiting for Spring weather for so long so that I could wear this jacket! I got it from ebay ages ago and this was it's first outing!

 I can do full on formal but I generally like to add a bit of casual or funkyness so I don't feel too mature!

 The jacket went down a storm at work and even my boyfriend complimented me on it (I totally thought this would be too grown up for him to appreciate!)

The shoes are orange and pink which is why I had a pink cardi underneath!

 

Jacket - Romans Originals size 24 (via ebay)

Black dress - George (well old!)

necklace - actually a belt, so old I can't remember where I got it from!

Leggings - New look inspire

shoes - Crocs

Tuesday

 Morning (upstairs) casual version. LOVE this dress.... the Orange version was a disaster on me as it showed up every bit of celulite I have, but this printed version is a beaut.

Afternoon (downstairs!) smartened up for a meeting.

Dress - Anna Scholz for Simply Be (size 22)

Leggings h&m

Shoes - Clarks

Wednesday

 Needed something cool, but not too flimsy for this odd weather. Asos to the rescue!

Matching it all up with accessories!

Dress - Asos Curve

Earrings - Forever 21

Ring - Ebay

Flipflops - Ipanema

Nail Varnish - Primark


Thursday
 

 

A nice bit of clashing today! I've been wearing my coat from the first Clements Ribeiro Swan collection quite a bit during this odd weather. It's lightweight and folds up nice and small so when it get's hot I can just put it in my bag!

 

 Dress - Ruby Rocks for Evans

Cardi, leggings & shoes - Primark

Coat Clements Ribeiro for Evans 

Friday

First outing for my lovely in your face leaf print dress.

 I totally wore a cape today. A fat girl wearing bold prints, bodycon & a cape?! No fashion rules in my wardrobe!

 Cape - Primark

Dress - Xclusive Fashions

Shoes - New Look

Bring on the weekend!

 

A new look

Hi all! I got my new look parcel today (and another sneaky little parcel from somewhere else!) so here is my review....

How cute is this dress?! Good old new look! Only £19.99 and I just love it! I sized up to a 24 in this (there is a little bit of give to the denim but it's not stretch) and apart from being slightly snug on my boobs it's actually a pretty nice fit. It's above the knee on me but happily not too short. Already looking forward to wearing this one!

I'm really quite pleased with it.... I was so sure it wouldn't fit. Go buy it while it's still available, it's a great summer buy!

I was sure that this bralet top would be too short, but in reality it's actually just much too tight on the bust (even thought I sized up to a 24 again due to the non-stretch fabric) and I'm a bit gutted really because it's a cute top. I really think New look inspire need to sort their sizes out - my breasts really are in proportion to the rest of my body so I shouldn't have these problems in a sized 24 top! Oh well, if your belly is bigger than your boobs then this top would be perfect on you, it's just no good for me!

I tried on these jeggings but there's no picture because I couldn't get them on. I went for size 22 and although the waist was massive they were SO TIGHT on my calves and thighs that I couldn't pull them up..... and they were no way near stretchy enough to be proper jeggings! If you have a big belly and slim legs though, these may be for you!

Last but not least I got this beauty. I saw it and had to have it because I so love the print. The fact that it only cost £17.99 was a bonus! It's from xclusive fashions which sell clothes from size 14-32. They sell lots of the 'AX Paris' stuff and have a really good range of cheap bodycon dresses. I managed to stick with just the one despite wanting about 4 of them, but if your tempted to buy from them then use the code new20 to get a 20% discount on your first shop.
