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?

OOTD | Floral Textured Swing Dress

I haven't done a great deal of outfit posts on here, and I want to change that, I keep taking pics and then being picky about whether I like them or not, so then I just don't bother. Not anymore though, I'm going to try and make more effort with showing some of what I've been wearing.

Today I wanted to show you my new favourite dress, the black and white rose print textured swing dress from Yours Clothing. This is so flattering for my body shape, because it fits best where I'm smaller (my top half) and then skims nicely over the parts that I am not so keen on showing off (them hips and that ass!).

I hope that the image does it justice.. I paired it with and without leggings, annnnd I prefer with because my legs are literally whiter than bottles of milk! *cringe* .. It'd look great with more tan legs (haha) or some opaque tights.

The fabric is nice and thick too, so it doesn't cling to places you don't want it too. It's similar to a scuba material, but it's textured, which just helps it to hang really nicely.

Apologies for the mirror selfies, but a girl's gotta do what she can to snap a photo! I need a larger mirror really.. It's on my to do list!

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!

Kind of a big deal . . .

Hi lovelies!

So, last week Yours Clothing had a special offer on, where they were offering 5 different dresses for 99p each. I was lucky enough to get in there quite quickly and ordered my choice (this one) of the 5 (it was only one per person)..

When it came on Saturday I tried it on and loved it. This is a £60 dress that I got for 99p! I posted a snap of it on Instagram and I thought I'd share it here as I am thinking I'd like to start doing some more plus size 'fashion' type posts as I get be more positive about how I look! Nice clothes help! :-) 

Posting the pic was a big deal for me, just because I really struggle with confidence, especially body confidence, but I've lost over 4 stone since last July and I am finally starting to feel slightly happier with myself. People on Instagram were so lovely about the image too, you can see it on Instagram here.

.. Please excuse the grainy phone pic and weird angle, this was a first for me..

Ohh and . . *Sidenote* If you're interested in the weightloss stuff, I have a blog here.
