Hey my lovelies,
I’ve had a super busy and exhausting week. Work has been totally kicking my ass, which means that I have been a bad blogger. I like to be busy at work, that’s when I’m at my best.. but I still hope that this coming week will be a bit slower.
So yeah, it’s time for Double Vision again. In this challenge my amazing friend Dani and I are choosing a theme, item, movie character.. whatever we come up with basically, and style those our own way and post at the same time. I chose this week’s theme, and I chose ‘Sparkle’. I chose this for one reason only, which is this Torrid dress that I have had in my wardrobe since January. That’s when I did my first clothes swap with Dani, and she sent me this AMAZING sequin dress. I have been dying to wear it, and maybe this coming Christmas season I might have a chance? Now at least I’m wearing it to the blog!
I styled it with sparkly earrings and patent heels, but otherwise wanted to keep the accessories and overall look quite simple. I think the dress brings enough sparkle. I was laughing when I was getting ready and putting on make up when suddenly sun shined into my room and the sequins reflected the light. I was like a giant discoball, how awesome :D. I actually just realised that this is a fully black outfit, which is something that I haven’t worn in ages. But I guess this is still not a ‘usual fat-girl outfit’ because of all the sequins, am I right? ;)
This dress is really great shape on me in my opinion, it hugs my body in all the right places and gives me a nice silhouette. I seriously can’t wait to go shopping at Torrid one day!

That was the sparkly, discoball-esque me, now click yourself to DIY Fatshion to see how Dani sparkles!
That is a beautifully cut dress and there can never be too much sparkle. Ah, I’d love to go mad in Torrid too! xx
Thank you :). Yeah the cut of this dress is amazing for my apple-hourglass-hybrid body, haha. Torrid here we come!!!! (Hopefully one day. lol) xx
Oh god SEQUINS! Sequins are my new favourite thing! So far I have sequinned slippers and a pair of sequin knickershorts, waiting to find the perfect sequin dress! You look ADORBS.
Thank you Ragini :)! I was looking at sequinned shorts at Forever 21 yesterday, but decided not to buy. I loooove this dress though, and I also have one sequinned collar. I want to see you in the shorts though, I’m sure they’re amaze!!! <3
What a STUNNING dress!
Thank you Terry! I love it, can’t wait to go out wearing it.. bring on the Christmas season ;) x
Wow, wow, wow! I love this so much, that dress looks SO GOOD on you!
Thanks so much Natalie <3 <3 <3
That dress is fantastic! I like the simplicity coupled with the sequins. Plus, the black makes it look that much better. But then, sparkly black is just one of those things that makes my world go round, oddly enough. :)
I agree Sarah, black sparkle is the best. Love it all! ;) xx
That dress is perfect for you. Torrid is a great store but can be kind of pricey. Even so, I have no idea what I would do without their curvy skinny jeans!
Thank you Noelle :). Yeah my dream is to try some Torrid jeans one day! xo
Sparkle – I love. You – I love. Therefore winning combo of an outfit!
