OOTD: Retro tee

Tags: ASDA, charities, Dorothy Perkins, fat fashion, fatshion, George, New Look, New Look Inspire, OOTD, plus size, red lippy, Rimmel, Yours Clothing

Hello lovelies,

How are you liking the spring so far? I’m weirded out by the hot this day, freezing the next -weather myself, but hopefully it will get solidly warmer soooooon :). I wore a lot of maxi dresses this week, like you saw if you follow me on Instagram, but I also wore this outfit. I got this old New Look Inspire tee from a charity shop last year, and I think it’s a cute retro tee. I could use some help from the California cupids myself, haha ;D

Hello lovelies,

Once again it’s Wednesday, and I’m sure you know it’s Fatshion Faceoff time! If you’re new to the blog, please see here what Fatshion Faceoff is about :). This week’s theme was chosen by Mouna, and she chose a colourful blazer.

I’m sure you know that blazers are the new love of my life, I just can’t have enough of them! And this gorgeous floral one from bonprix definitely needs a new outing at the blog (already posted in here). I wore this outfit on Saturday, when I had a lovely afternoon shopping and having dinner with my flatmate.

Hey lovelies,

After a few week’s break, it is 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, more about the challenge here. This week’s theme was chosen by Dani, and she chose ‘Shorts’.

I’ve been wearing my two pairs of denim shorts A LOT this spring, the studded ones from ASOS Curve, and these light denim ones from New Look Inspire. I have also fallen in love with large, blingy statement necklaces, and I already mentioned in this post that I will be getting another one.. and this is the new one.

I also turned 35 this week, and this is another one of my ‘I don’t give a crap’ outfits.. I like dressing like teenagers, haha, even though that isn’t ‘suitable’ for women my age. Screw that!

DV: Shorts

Shorts: 26, New Look Inspire │ T-shirt: 24, New Look Inspire (same in light green, same as sleeveless top) │ Tights: 22-26, Lycra Xceptionelle 40 denier 3D tights, Yours Clothing │ Wedges: Primark (coral wedges at Dorothy Perkins & Evans, coral heels at Evans) │ Glasses*: Select Specs │ Necklace: New Look │ Lippy: Rimmel London Kate Moss shade 110 (UK link, US link)

Now let’s clickity to DIY Fatshion and see what kind of shorts Dani wore :)!

I totally felt like wearing my amazing tutu dress today.. it makes me feel great! So that is what I did, and thankfully the only statement belt I have looks good with it ;).
