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 item was chosen by Olivia, and she chose a statement belt.

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 ;).

Fatshion Faceoff: Cosy jumper

Hey my lovelies,

I’m quite obsessed with jumpers nowadays, the bigger the better, but sadly I haven’t found too many that I love. One of them is this oversized Joe Browns jumper from Simply Be though, and I have worn it loads. This time I teamed it up with floral leggings from Tesco F&F, and added bling with this Evans necklace and glittery flats from Matalan. And as usual, finished with red lippy :).

Now let’s go see what kind of cosy jumpers the other girls found from their closets :)

Double Vision: Varsity

Tags: challenge, Double Vision, fat fashion, fatshion, friends, LensWay, Matalan, Maybelline, New Look, New Look Inspire, OOTD, plus size, Primark, red lippy, Yours Clothing

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 me, and I went with ‘Varsity’. It seems that this trend is everywhere now, with tops and jackets with big letters on them, and tops with ‘Nerd’, ‘Jock’, ‘Dork’..etc on them. Other part of me finds it cheesy, but the other one loves it :D.

My love for the trend started when I saw this sweater at New Look. Since my name is Hanna, I might as well own a sweater with a huge ‘H’ on it, right? For this challenge post I went for a ‘fat cheerleader’ look, haha, sadly I don’t own pompoms ;)

Double Vision: Varsity

Sweater: 24, New Look Inspire (varsity sweaters at New Look Inspire: 1, 2 & ASOS Curve, t-shirts at New Look Inspire: 1, 2 & ASOS Curve, baseball jacket at New Look Inspire) | Skirt: 20, Primark (A-line skirt at Forever 21+, skater skirt at ASOS Curve) | Tights*: 22-26, Lycra Xceptionelle 40 denier 3D tights from Yours Clothing | Wedge sneakers: Matalan (similar at Debenhams, similar at Boohoo) | Glasses: LensWay (similar at Select Specs) | Lippy: Maybelline Colorsensational in Pleasure Me Red (similar by MAC)

Now let’s go over to DIY Fatshion and see what Dani wore!

The Plus-size Workwear Challenge: Pop Yo Colour

Tags: challenge, Eloquii, fat fashion, fatshion, Four Eyes, Matalan, Minnetonka, New Look, New Look Inspire, OOTD, plus size, red lippy, workwear, Yours Clothing

Hey my lovelies,

A few weeks ago the gorgeous Naomi of Diamonds n’ Pearls was asking other plus-size bloggers on Twitter if anyone would be interested in doing a five-week workwear challenge. There was a nice response and now it’s the 10 of us doing this! 2 of us will post each working day, and we have been given themes for each week. Please see this post by Naomi for more information :). First week’s challenge was a blazer, second week’s was pencil skirt or a pussy bow, and third was stepping out of our comfort zones. You can see my previous posts here, here and here.

This week’s challenge is ‘Pop Yo Colour’, and I wore my blue Eloquii blazer with my green New Look shorts :).
