Fatshion Faceoff: Band t-shirt

Tags: ASOS, ASOS Curve, challenge, fat fashion, fatshion, Fatshion Faceoff, friends, LensWay, OOTD, plus size, Primark, vbo

Hi 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 challenge item was chosen by Mouna, and she chose a slogan/band/movie/etc t-shirt.

Ok, confession time… I have a ‘dark past’ with boybands.. been a fan since 1988 or so, starting from NKOTB, then to East 17 and Take That, then to Backstreet Boys, ‘NSync and Westlife, and then back to Take That ;D. So when I saw this crop top for £3 in Primark I HAD TO buy it for this challenge (it might become only a night shirt after this though). But hey, it’s kinda cute, and Robbie is between my boobs.. which can never be a bad thing, haha ;). The boots are also a total bargain from Primark, they were reduced to £6, and I couldn’t leave the store without them!

But what about this skirt then.. SERIOUSLY?!? I ordered it when it was on sale at ASOS, only because I was so curious about it. I thought that it was totally amazing when it first came to the site, but I was SURE that it would only work for plus size girls with long legs and lower waist than me. But what a surprise I got when I put it on!!! I think it really works, or what do you think ladies? Another proof that you should always try things on cos you never know how they’ll look like and you might be positively surprised.

Top: 20, Primark (similar with a cross at New Look) | Skirt: 24, ASOS Curve | Boots: Primark (similar in black by ALDO) | Headband: New Look (similar at Forever 21) | Glasses: LensWay (similar at Select Specs)

Are you a fan of any band or movie etc? Do you wear their t-shirts? Do you think they can be fashionable?

Now let’s go see who/what the other Fatshion Faceoff girls are wearing…

Dani: DIY Fatshion (USA)
Mhairi: Lilybobombs Lovely Lumps (UK)
Mouna: Brussels Fatshion (Belgium)
Olivia: Wait Until The Sunset (Australia)

Ways to Wear Challenge: LBD

Tags: Forever 21, friends, Next, OOTN, plus size, Primark, Simply Be, vbo, Ways to Wear

Hi my lovelies,

This is the first post of a new challenge that I’m taking part in. The lovely Gemma of Big Girls Browse started Ways to Wear challenge, that any blogger can take part of. (Please see more in this Gemma’s post.)

The first monthly challenge is a Little Black Dress. Now, I have *counts* at least 5 dresses that fall into this category, and I have posted all of them here before, 3 of them quite recently (sequins, bodycon and lace).. so I had a bit of a dilemma. I decided to go with the dress I modeled at Plus North, since I never did a proper outfit post of it. This dress is absolutely lovely, the PU-detail is gorgeous, and I think this is a dress that would look amazing on anyone!

I decided to team it up with nude heels, minimal make-up (light pink lipstick & mascara) and effortless hair, only that I could bring some roughness to it with the spiked bracelet and clutch. So a classic look with some edgy twists, I hope ;)

Dress: 22, Simply Be (similar without the PU panel) | Heels: Primark (similar at New Look, similar at Zappos – US) | Clutch: Next (similar at Top Shop) | Bracelet: Forever 21 – gift from Dani (similar at Boutine, similar in silver at Oasap) | Lippy: Natural Collection Moisture Shine in Pink Mallow – available in Boots (similar by MAC)

Do you have many LBD’s in your closet? Do you wear them often? Oh, and if you are a blogger, you should take part in this challenge too, would be great to see many different looks :)!

OOTD: Cosy sparkle

Tags: Evans, fat fashion, fatshion, LensWay, Matalan, OOTD, plus size, Primark, vbo

Hello my lovelies,

So, I went on a HUGE shopping spree at Evans Marble Arch store yesterday. The deputy manager Gagan and her staff were absolutely amazing and patient, and helped me a lot. I wanted to share a few of my buys with you on this post, since I finally found some comfy jeans! I know I have posted a few pairs before, from H&M, and I didn’t even care about the fit that much since they were such sale bargains.. But actually the ones at Evans were so great on my shape, than I ended up buying 3 pairs (and no, they weren’t on sale either – so that tells something)!!

I also got 3 pairs of boots, and some awesome jewellery too. So in this outfit I’m combining the Evans baroque print jeans. banana heel shoeboots and statement ring with this see-through knit from Primark (I love this, I need it in all the colours!) and black sequin blazer from Matalan (yes, I had to get the black one too, haha). I really like the combination of cosy items with the sparkly ones, and the grey and black colour palette.

Sequin blazer: 20, Matalan (similar by Lovedrobe) | Knit top: 20, Primark (similar at Dorothy Perkins) | Grey baroque print jeans: 22, Evans | Shoe boots: Evans | Bra: Daily Boost by Curvy Kate (get from Very) | Ring: Evans | Glasses: LensWay (similar at Select Specs)

I am in love with these jeans, and so happy that I found them! If you are interested in these jeans and are similar shape than me, I’d advice you to size down (if you don’t have a chance to go to Evans and try them on). Previously I have been 24-26 in trousers/jeans (and the lovely 28 at H&M obviously, haha), but in these I’m 22! Have you made any jeans discoveries lately?

Double Vision: Polkadot skirt

Tags: challenge, Double Vision, fat fashion, fatshion, Forever 21, friends, H&M, LensWay, Matalan, New Look, Old Navy, OOTD, plus size, red lippy, vbo

Hello lovelies,

It is Sunday, which means it’s time for a 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. Read more about the challenge here. Dani made some suggestions for this week’s item, and we chose to build our outfits around a polkadot skirt.

I have 3 skirts with polkadots, and I had some trouble choosing which one to use. I decided to use this bodycon skirt from H&M, and wear it casually. My outfits here seem to be more on the ‘fancy’ side, so this one is properly casual, which I love. I’m thinking this will be my outfit for work tomorrow.. Monday mornings are always a nightmare for me, so this outfit would save me some effort and give me a bit more sleep ;). (Yes I’m VERY lazy on Monday mornings.)

Skirt: L, H&M (polkadotted skater skirt at New Look, navy pencil skirt at Simply Be) | Shirt: XXL, Old Navy (similar at Old Navy, similar at New Look Inspire) | Dress (used as a longline top): 18, New Look (similar top at H&M) | Wedges: Matalan (same in black, similar at ASOS) | Necklace: Forever 21 (similar at Simply Be) | Glasses: LensWay (similar at Select Specs) | Lippy: Natural Collection Moisture Shine in Crimson – available in Boots (similar by MAC)

This is definitely one of my ‘teenager in her thirties’-outfits. I bet I will never grow up ;). (Although I did dress much older in my actual teens, and I feel that I have to make up for that, haha.)

So, let’s go see if Dani did casual or fancier look this week.. clickity to DIY Fatshion!
