Yes, I have been shopping again.. no news there.. ;). Last week I heard that ASOS are having 25% off selected items, so of course I rushed to see what they had reduced. The denim joggers quickly went into my shopping basket, and then I checked Outlet if they had anything nice.. so yeah, these all ended up in the package (images are links):
So, I have been drooling after those denim joggers since I did my pastels post, and I had to get them. The coat is something that I have been wanting for ages, especially after seeing the amazing Jessica‘s post about it a while ago. She looks so beautiful in the coat that I wanted to try and see if I can pull it off. The playsuit then.. well, I have always wanted to find one that suits me. I have short legs and long back, and my bottom size is 2 sizes bigger than my top, so it would definitely be a challenge to find one that looks good. In the past I have ordered another one from ASOS, in which Rosie and Gazel are both looking stunning!!! I on the other hand looked absolutely ridiculous in it. I didn’t let that upset me, and I decided to try this one, since it was only £16. And the trousers.. no story behind them, they were just cute and cheap. Haha ;).
I ripped the package open and tried the joggers on first. HORRIFYING sight in the mirror, I tell you. I almost cried. They look stunning on the model, but since my waist size is so huge and my legs so short the jeans were disgusting. Couldn’t even take a picture. Same thing with the red trousers.. they are supposed to be cropped, but of course they went down to my ankles. This has surely put me off for ASOS trousers for a while. Oh well, there clearly is a reason why I live in leggings 99.5% of the time!
But this gets better, soooo much better…
Coat: 22, ASOS Curve
The pic is not the best, but the coat is pretty! I love how unique (yes, I do realise it is not exactly unique, haha) it looks, and the orange colour is so vibrant and uplifting! And my coat is UK size 22, and it’s roomy and cosy. I can definitely recommend it, and it is a bargain now, down from £100 to £36! I don’t care how warm it will be tomorrow, I will wear it :).
LOOKIE AT THE PLAYSUIT! It’s amazing!
Had to use the flash so that you can see better!
I absolutely love it! I can’t believe how nicely it fits, and the shoulder parts are adjustable, so you can customise them to fit you. They still have size 26 left, so go get yours NOW :)!!! (Too excited. Yes, I know.)
I love it so much that I will definitely wear it to work tomorrow. There’s lace and sparkles, but I will dress it down with flats and my new cardigan (from DP sale). What do you think? And have you made good sale finds lately?
Cardigan: 
i love the playsuit – is the top part nude underneath or is is sheer? if you wear the cardigan will it be hard to go for a wee in a rush (lol)?? i do love it though. I also adore the coat – 2 out of 4 aint bad! xXx
It is nude, no boob/belly flesh on show :). And I know, if I’d go down to the pub or something I could not wear that cardi, but I don’t think I will have that bad of a rush to wee at work.. at least I hope I won’t, haha!
Thanks for nice comments hun xx
cute! I find asos sizing inconsistent so that puts me off a little! Maybe I should have another go :)
Thanks Gina :). Yeah I know, their bottoms are not that good.. but this playsuit was definitely a positive surprise for me!

I love the playsuit and coat I have been lusting after both myself for a while, could you let me know your overbust measurement, you could DM me on twitter if you dont want to shout it on here :) my bust measurement takes me way of my normal size on there clothing. xx
Sure! Will DM you in a few Mhairi :). And yeah, both of these are definitely amazing! I recommend!
xx
I love the coat, why oh why don’t I have any money…..Gutted!! But you look gorgeous in it xxx
Thanks Becky :). I did get a few odd looks on the tube, but I don’t care, I feel good in this coat! Hopefully they have some left when you get money (maybe they will be even cheaper!) xx
That playsuit is amazing on you, and will definitely get attention. ;) I have the opposite fit problems – I have a short torso and long legs. And since my top half is a size smaller than my bottom half, I have the hardest time finding pants that fit in the waist without gapping horribly. I gave ASOS a try on their pants, but theirs gapped worse than most. Such a bummer, I tried their pastel jeans, but they just didn’t work. I’ll stick to tops and dresses for ASOS. :) But I’m glad that you were able to get a couple things that worked, and look lovely. Yay!
Thank you hun :).
Yeah, we all have different problems, and ours seems to be opposite! Gladly it only affects pants, and we can still swap. lol ;)

Uhm…I know you don’t want the orange comfy coat anymore so I can save you from the tears and buy it from YOU.;)
Hahahahah.. sä hukkuisit siihen Millukka.. sillä oot varmaan kokoa tai kahta mua pienempi.
