Old Friends

This is an outfit i wore to go and see one of oldest friends Lauren, we have been friends for so long and even if we go a while without speaking when we get together its like we only saw each other yesterday.
We are really different in our fashion choices and i love to see her raised eyebrows when i wear something a little out of the ordinary so i decided for this visit to wear my new or should i say old shorts.

I got these shorts from ebay they were customised from a old pair of mens levis, as soon as i saw the rips and colour i knew i had to have them.

I had them in my watch list for ages before i decided i couldn't wait any longer and bought them and I'm so glad i did i love them!

I wore them with my New Look cardigan and my chubby guys T-shirt, the shorts were really comfy and it was a perfect outfit to wear to spend the day chatting with an old friend and eating pizza :)

I seem to have a bit of thing going on for shorts and i can't see that going away anytime soon so expect to see much more of my legs over the next few months especially when i have my thigh tattoo in a few weeks! Once I've had it done I'll post it for you all to see.

Hope your all having a lovely weekend.

Swimwear

Although it might not seem like it with recent weather, summer is coming and with that comes the search for good swimwear. It can be difficult to find the right sort of style you want and within your budget. I personally have quite a curvy shape so i went on a search for swimwear for curvy women.
I love swim dresses and all in ones as i think they are great for swimming and having fun in water parks.
I picked out a few of my favourites to share with you

It probably doesn't surprise you that i picked this swim dress with it being leopard print! I love the shape and the print and for £29.95 it's definitely within my budget. It's available here in sizes 12-28.

Another of my favourites is this swimsuit which goes up to a size 30,

I really love the zebra panels down the side and everything would be kept in place as i went down the slide in the water park or relaxed in the lazy river rapids. This swimsuit would be just as perfect for swimming a few lengths in the local pool.

For those of you who prefer to laze around and top up your tan i think this is such a cute bikini,

I love the polkadot trend that is coming out in swimwear at the moment, it looks great and i think its timeless. I have a polkadot swimsuit and i know that no matter what the trends are for that summer it will look fabulous.

Whether you are going on a nice relaxing holiday or just going to the local pool I'm sure there is a style to suit you and your personality.

Workwear Chic

This months fatshionologie was what would you wear for a work meeting or interview. Now I'll be honest I've only ever been for a handful of interviews in my working life, i have worked in my current job for nearly 9 years so this is what i would wear if i was told i had an interview tomorrow. I think it shows I'm unique and not afraid to stand out.

I'm wearing the Simply Be trousers i blogged about here which are a dream to wear and a shirt i picked up a few weeks ago from New Look i got it in a size 24 so that it would fasten over my chest (you don't want to be flashing during an interview! )

I added some Irregular Choice heels and a cat brooch to the collar and I'm ready to be hired :)

I love this shirt with the trousers and until the challenge i wouldn't have thought to put the two together as i had intend to wear the shirt with my shorts.

What kind of thing do you wear to an interview?

Pretty As A Daisy

I wore this outfit a few weeks ago but for some reason hadn't uploaded the images from my camera silly Rachel!
I wore this to go and visit my mum i like to wear things that are comfy for the car journey. I got this dress quite a while ago but i only just got round to wearing it.

I got this dress from New look and i sized up to a 26, the 22 fit but it was a little too short for my liking they didn't have a 24 but they had the 26 so i tried it and to be honest i found the fit the same as the 22 but it was longer which i wanted.

I wore the dress with some tights as it was a little chilly out and some Primark flats which are really uncomfortable to wear so i will be taking them to the next fat swap and hopefully someone else will get on better with them.

I checked the New Look website but i can't find the dress anymore if i remember right i bought it for £19.99. The dress does have a really cute pattern which was the reason i picked it up to start with and I'm sure it will get lots more wear over the summer months.

The only negative thing i have to say about this dress is the neckline seems to sit a bit squiff I'm not sure if its just this dress or its a problem with the material and how it has been sewn into the lining. It won't stop me wearing it as it such a cute dress and really light and floaty so will keep me cool in the summer.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend :)

FTF

Flash the flesh is a blogger challenge that came about from the psbloggerschat we have on a Sunday night on twitter, if you haven't got involved them do its lots of fun and everyone is lovely! The topic of conversation that night was if you prefer maxi's or mini's, personally i love both.
Becky suggested a group challenge where we show a bit of skin and be proud with out arms/legs/bellys out.

I knew straight away what i would wear as I'd bought it a few days earlier when i went shopping with the lovely Lisa and Lolly.

The dress is from New Look and i went for a size 24 as i thought the 22 was a bit too tight when i tried it on. Its available online here for £29.99. I love this dress so much it hugs you so well and i love the mesh detail at the top so you can see cleavage without it being too out there :)

I wore this dress with some Irregular Choice heels and my cat ears headband. I feel amazing in this dress and even though i have my legs, arms and some cleavage on show i don't feel like I'm flashing too much. But then is there ever too much ?!

As you can see from the side on picture it is quite a short dress but i love that. I feel proud to show my skin and i don't care if people say a fat girl shouldn't have this much flesh out. I have and i will continue to wear what i want, i dress for me and as long as I'm happy that's all that matters. 

Now check out the other lovelies who are proud to flash the flesh

OMCZ Neon

No outfit post from me today I'm afraid as i managed to hurt my back and i hadn't taken any pictures before i did it so for today's theme of neon i decided to show you my favourite neon pieces online.

First up are accessories as sometime full on neon might seem a bit ott.

This collection 2000 polish is a great none pink and for £1.99 its not going to break the bank.

This neon purse is £13.99 from new look and will help to add a bit of neon to an outfit.

I really love the neon edging on these pumps from New Look £29.99 here.

Now onto some neon pieces of clothing

This tunic has a panel of neon pink over the back i really love it and think it would be great for sumer £30 from Simply Be.

I love camis and these neon coloured ones will add some bright colour into your wardrobe. They come in a pack of 3 for £20 again from Simply Be.

I not sure if this t-shirt is classed as neon but either way i love it! Only £14 from ASOS.

Sorry for the lack of outfit post today :( hopefully i'll be back on form soon enough.
