Fatshion Faceoff: Bright shoes

Tags: challenge, fat fashion, fatshion, Fatshion Faceoff, friends, New Look, New Look Inspire, OOTD, plus size, Primark

It’s once again Wednesday and it’s Fatshion Faceoff time :). Fatshion Faceoff is a weekly challenge that I do with 5 other fatshion bloggers from around the world, in the challenge we choose a similar item of clothing and we all style it in our own way. This week’s challenge was chosen by Dani, and she chose bright shoes.

I bought these patent coral wedges from Primark a while ago, they were another one of my awesome clearance finds.. they were only £6! I love the colour of them, I just haven’t had a chance to wear them yet… summer.. where are youuu?!? I teamed them up with this New Look dress. (That has shrunk into a tunic after the first wash. Sad times.. I’m so happy I didn’t pay a full price for it.) It’s ok for this posts sake, but if I want to wear it in public again I need to add shorts or jeans to this outfit. I love how the dress and its belt go with these shoes though, and that’s why I decided to wear them for this challenge.

Shoes: 7, Primark (similar) | Dress & belt: 18: New Look Inspire (similar) | Leggings: 16/18, Primark | Glasses: LensWay

I really liked Dani’s pick for this week, since we haven’t done any accessories in this challenge yet, and I got to finally wear these pretty shoes :). Now click through below and see how the other girls wore their bright shoes!

A breakthrough of sorts..

Tags: personal

I wrote this on my Tumblr, and you can see a pic of my outfit there as well. I just feel that I want to share this on my blog too, since yeah.. I have felt that the people at my office have been really cool about all this (how I have started to dress differently since I started blogging), there has been compliments and not dirty looks, until today.

For the first time I got a dirty look at the office because of my VBO (from a very thin woman of course). I love what this whole blogging experience has done to me and my confidence. Less than a year ago I would have been crushed by that look (well to be honest I wouldn’t have worn this then… but anyway), now I just don’t give a shit! I dress for myself, not for thin women who can’t believe that a fatty dares to wear something like this :). And it feels damn good!

I have been lucky that this hasn’t happened to me before, so my confidence has grown and now when it happened I didn’t feel ‘defeated’ at all. If some thinner people don’t have the confidence to wear tight clothes, why should I care?

This is me, this is my VBO, and I like me :).

This rainy Sunday was a perfect reason to catch up on my blog after a busy week. I worked overtime every day, and I have been exhausted. Today I finally felt better and had energy to do a few blog posts. (The other one is next Wednesday’s Fatshion Faceoff, which I have scheduled – goooo me!)

This is the outfit I plan on wearing tomorrow. I love my new denim gilet from New Look, and I think it works well with this outfit! I have been looking for a polkadot skirt for ages, and I found this when I went thrifting 3 weeks ago.. Finally wearing it now! It’s size 16 (!!!) from H&M and it cost me £4.50! My top is also kind of thrifted, since I bought it from Becky‘s blogsale a while ago. I think it goes very well with the skirt :).

Denim gilet: 20, New Look Inspire | Top: 20, Dorothy Perkins – via Becky (similar) | Skirt: 16, H&M – thrifted (similar) | Leggings: 16/18, Primark | Boots: 6, Evans (similar) | Glasses: LensWay

Coat: 22, Simply Be

And this Simply Be coat… Damn! I wanted it since I saw it the first time, but finally got it during Friday 13th sale they had, and it cost me only £36!! I freaking LOVE it, and since the weather keeps on staying cold, I can still wear it. (I need to find something good about this dreading weather!!!)

Fatshion Faceoff: High-low hem

Tags: challenge, fat fashion, fatshion, Fatshion Faceoff, Forever 21, friends, LensWay, New Look, New Look Inspire, OOTD, plus size, Torrid

It’s Wednesday, it’s my birthday, and it’s Fatshion Faceoff time! Fatshion Faceoff is a weekly challenge that I do with 5 other fatshion bloggers from around the world, in the challenge we choose a similar item of clothing and we all style it in our own way. This week’s challenge was chosen by me, and I chose a high-low hem, so either skirt or a dress.

I ordered a black high-low skirt and teal high-low dress from Forever 21 recently, so I actually had both options, but decided to go with the skirt. Mainly because I’m in love with yellow (like I mentioned in my last post) and wanted to add that to the outfit. The pretty lacy top is from the first swap I did with Dani of DIY Fatshion a few months back, and I can’t believe how perfectly it fits me, it’s like it was made for me! Finally I came up with an outfit that I could add it to :).

High-low skirt: 2X, Forever 21+ ⎜ Shrug: 20, New Look Inspire (similar) ⎜Top: 2, Torrid – swapped with Dani (similar) ⎜Belt: from the yellow version of this Old Navy skirt ⎜Heels: 7W, New Look ⎜Glasses: LensWay

I love this trend because I dislike the backs of my knees, and these skirts I can wear without tights/leggings, haha! I plan on wearing this outfit on Saturday, I’m going out for my birthday dinner with some friends. Have you tried the high-low trend yet?

Now go and have a look how the other Fatshion Faceoff girls wore their hems. I’m sure they’re all looking beautiful as always :)!
