The Plus-size Workwear Challenge: Freestyle

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hello 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, third was stepping out of our comfort zones, and fourth was all about popping some colour. You can see my previous posts here, here, here and here.

This is the fifth and final week of this challenge, and the theme is Freestyle. I decided to take this as a chance to do a ‘casual Friday’-look with some of my new Primark goodies, and I will totally wear this look to work some day soon!

The Plus-size Workwear Challenge: Stepping out of your comfort zone

Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,

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 you can see my posts here and here.

This week’s challenge is stepping out of our comfort zones. I was thinking what this could be, since I’m quite comfortable wearing anything.. but then I remembered this Simply Be jumpsuit – it looks like you’re wearing your nan’s sofa, but it is AMAZING. Print this loud is definitely out of my comfort zone, but I have actually worn it to work once. I did get quite a few comments, women loved it and one man (one of my best work mates) commented something like I’m wearing nan’s curtains ;).

Jumpsuit: 24, Simply Be | Wedges: New Look (similar at New Look: 1, 2, similar at Evans) | Glasses*: Four Eyes | Lippy: Accessorize, Coral Crush With Love (similar by MAC)

Time for me to get back to bed (yes, I am still sick, and yes, happily these pics were taken over the weekend too..), but you should go and see how the other bloggers in this challenge stepped out of their comfort zone!

The Plus-size Workwear Challenge: Pencil skirt

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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, and you can see my post here.

This week’s challenge is pencil skirt or pussybow. Since I did a post with a pussybow blouse (the only one I own) a while ago, I decided to go with the pencil skirt. This burgundy jersey skirt is from Primark, the gorgeous wedges are from Shopbop, and I teamed them up with these awesome goodies I received from Curvissa last week - a long knit jumper and a blazer. The final touch is a toucan necklace from New Look. I think the look is very smart for work, but the sheerness of the knit and the wedges bring some sexiness to it. I’m happy I sized up for the jumper, as now it is lovely and oversized. (And thank you so much for taking my pics Isha.)

Blazer*: 24, Curvissa (similar US item at Macy’s) | Jumper*: 26/28, Curvissa (similar US item at Macy’s) | Skirt: 18, Primark (similar at Marisota: 1, 2) | Tights*: 22-26, Lycra Xceptionelle at Yours Clothing | Wedges*: Luxury Rebel at Shopbop (same in burgundy at Bloomingdale’s – US, similar at New Look: 1, 2, similar at ASOS) | Glasses*: Four Eyes | Necklace: New Look (owl at New Look, rabbit at Dorothy Perkins, globe at ASOS) | Lippy: Maybelline Pleasure Me Red (similar by MAC)

That was my take on the pencil skirt, new theme coming next week (and next week I will post on Thursday).  And please don’t forget to enter my anniversary giveaways: a pair of Minnetonka suede moccasinsa £50 gift voucher to Large Cup Lingerie and a $50 gift voucher to IGIGI.

No go and check out if the other bloggers in this challenge chose a pencil skirt or a pussybow and how they wore them!
