New year, same me.
I've had many versions of this jumpsuit in my wish list for aaaggggeeeesss. My favorite was the greenone with black squiggles, but as this one was in the sale and I knew I'd just be wearing it round the house, I just accepted this print. It's super comfy and lovely. Stretch jersey. I got the size 24 because 26 in jersey is nearly always too big for me, but this jumpsuit requires you to pull it over your arse through the neck, so I'd say that it's wisest to get the right size for your bottom half rather than your top. It's got the drawstring waist and batwing sleeves so it won't look accidentally oversized ;)
I have been looking for an autumnal beige coat for quite some time. I wanted to replace an old asos favourite of mine which was falling to bits, but everything seemed to be either very thick or very thin. This one was exactly right and has now officially replaced the old one!
After reading the reviews about how oversized this is, I sized down to a 22. It's perfect. The sleeves are a bit long but I will fold them up so it's no big deal.
I like how long it is but obviously if you are average height or shorter, this will be a maxi length coat on you. It's worth a punt thought as it's soft, comfy, warm but not hot and has a lovely collar that can be folded up.
I'm a bit obsessed with hairbands at the moment. I tried loads and just kept this one. I know it's cutsie but I care not! Plus it's grey and matches my salt and peppery roots!
This coat is brilliant. If I'd have been looking for a thicker winter coat then this would have been a keeper! It's size 24 and is comfy and original. I really liked the shape and detailing. It is a bit oversized as I'd normally need a 26 in this sort of coat.
It's a more mushroomy colour IRL than it looks on the website, but otherwise it's as you would expect.
This is another coat that was reviewed as being oversized, so I tried the 24. It's actually not that big by Asos standards, but the body is a bit generous. The arms are certainly not oversized though! They were very tight.
If you don't have huge arms like me then this might be a good option, as it's made a of lovely soft thick fabric that has a bit of stretch. Lovely colour and shape too.
Well.... I was warned! I went for the 26 and it's too small on top! Flexible on the waist as it does up with ties on the inside and out, but yeah, small and not stretchy. Also, it's a super muted washed out gold. nowt wrong with that of course, but the photo's on the website are very misleading in that respect! It's lined and if you can find the right size it's actually a lovely dress with a flattering silhouette.
Size 24. I'm super bored of sloping shoulders with seams that are halfway down my arms and dresses that are much bigger on top than on the bottom. That's all I'm gonna say about this one!
I assumed that this would be non-stretch so I ordered the 26. it was way too loose. I'd actually get this in a 22 if I was to re-order it. I wasn't sure if I liked it enough to actually do that though. Maybe I'd love it if it were fitted? It can live in my wishlist for a while!
I liked this a lot, but let's face it - it's a work dress and after almost a year of pandemic furlough and working from home, I just don't need more smart attire! I do look at it and think.... maybe you do need this though? It's soooooo pretty!
I got the 26 and it was a bit generous on top, but not so generous on the hips, so probably best to put up with a looser top if you're big on the bottom like me! It's firm but silky and stretchy. Feels like stretch suit fabric if that makes sense?! Looking at myself in the pics makes me want to re-order it, but I'm resisting because I've gone a bit made in the sales already (you'll see!)
This is the size 24 and it's very generous. I often find this to be the case with this style of stretch dress. I'd probably try the 22 for comfort but the 20 might actually be the best fit. I'm honestly not sure how the model managed to get it off both shoulders as it's certainly designed to just fall off one shoulder!
It's a thin scuba style fabric. Very soft and comfy, super stretchy (as you can see!). I like this though. Nothing better than a dress that is both sexy AND comfy. Of course I don't have anywhere to go at the moment so.... maybe I'll get it in a smaller size in the future?!
Square necks are my jam at the moment, so I was OBVIOUSLY gonna get this jumpsuit wasn't I?!
I couldn't work out what the fabric would be like, so went for the 26 (pictured). Too big! it's sort of rough, textured and stretchy fabric. I could easily have fit the 22 as the 24 I got instead can be pulled on and off without unbuttoning it, but as I'm spending so much time at home I wanted a relaxed fit, so the 24 is ideal.
I love this though. I can literally jump around in it! I can sit crossed legged and bed over and it moves with me. also a good length in the body, so no camel toes to worry about!
