Fifty Shades Of... Cobalt?

Another OOTD?! I know! Get me!

I wanted to post about this dress, which I love.. I've had so many compliments on it and the colour is so out of my comfort zone since I usually always wear dark colours! Cobalt seems to be a popular colour at the moment, and I was talked into getting this colour over the black one.. It pained me a little bit, but it's good to step outside of your comfort zone once in a while, no?

So, myself and some friends from work decided we were going to see Fifty Shades of Grey at the weekend and this was my outfit choice!

I am really liking the swing style tunic dress, great with tights or leggings... or if you're brave enough to bare your legs! I like how it just skims over my curves but doesn't look like a big baggy tent, which is what I used to live in.. Haha!

Movie Thoughts:

I know there are a ton of mixed feelings about it, and about the books, but I personally enjoyed the books. As for the film, I loved it, preferred it to the book and thought it was way better than I expected it to be. I liked the actors and how things were less cringy than the book was. The soundtrack was/is fabulous and I am obsessed with it! Also, the sex scenes were not overdone at all, tasteful I'd say, leaving things to the imagination.  Have you seen it?  Thoughts?

Plus Size OOTD: The Fancy Frock!

I'll start with a little back story first. My brother got married in August (outfit post here), and when I was shopping with my Mum for an outfit to wear I found a dress in Evans that I fell absolutely in love with, (Link!) it was from Scarlett & Jo (Prom Dress Range) and it was like my dream dress, I picked up the size I thought I'd need and went to try it.. If looked amazing, perfect. It was just *the* dress, ya know?

Only problem was that it was too big and because I am currently losing lots of weight, it seemed pointless. So Mum ran out to get the next size down... They didn't have it, and because the dress was in the sale they didn't have more. I left the shop with a pout and went home and searched the internet to see if I could find it anywhere, or on the Evans website. No such luck.

Fast forward 3 months and I'm casually browsing the Evans sale (as you do!) and I see this dress from the range (the exact same style) and it's on sale, but they don't have the size down that I needed in July. They did have the next size down though (Size 20, FYI) so I thought I'd order it and give it a go because I love it so much and I thought I might get lucky, or I could slim into it.

I picked it up in store last Wednesday and I love it. It fits and it's perfect.. It's not the black spotty one I originally wanted but it's just as pretty, navy blue and flowers are not usually a me thing, but I feel good in it - I think it's the style of the dress. It's so me and so well fitting, flattering and gorgeous.

The point of all that chatter was to do this outfit post and show the dress on, sooo...

Pretty, huh? I love how it flatters my shape and skims my hips, bum and tum. I am very happy with my purchase! I now want to get this dress in every version they have. Like THIS! Sooo tempted.

Get it here: Evans, Scarlett & Jo Navy Floral Print Prom Dress (£30!) But they have very limited sizes.

Outfit Post - The Family Wedding!

Hey lovely people!

So a few weeks ago my brother married his lovely girlfriend and made her his wife, it was the first proper family wedding I had ever been to and it was a chance for everyone to be together, which is great as we are all scattered around the country.

Today I thought I would share what I wore and a few other snaps from the day. Yes, this is my first ever official OOTD post, like ever. Let's see how I do!

Here's what my outfit... (excuse the awkward smile, allowing someone to take full length pictures is all new to me!)

- Dress - Yours Clothing

- Pashmina - eBay

- Clutch - Deichman

- Necklace - Yours Clothing

- Shoes - New Look (Old)

I loved the dress as soon as I saw it and I like how it looked on too, it's a great length and perfect for any special occasion or event. I now need to find a chance to wear it again before it gets too big for me!

And here are just a few other snaps from the day, with my Mum and Sister, my Sister and then the happy couple.

Thank you for reading!
