Simple look with SimplyBe

Hello out there!

Tonight my husband and I met up with the fam for a spot of dinner.

Over the past few months I have been wearing my ASOS Curve leather jacket to death, so I thought it was high time to give it a rest and try something new.

Luckily, as I was browsing the SimplyBe website, I noticed that they were still selling the Grazia leather sleeve jacket which I have been lusting after forever! As I saw the dreaded words, "low in stock" I snapped it up quicker that you can say Jim Robinson!

 I kept the overall outfit fairly simply adding a pop of colour with a scarf I got from ASOS back in 2009.

British Plus Size Fashion Weekend

Hello out there!

This weekend saw the very first British Plus Size Fashion Weekend which I first mentioned here. I went along to the fashion show, and they had a great range of designers there, including SimplyBe, Cult of California and One One Three, to name but a few.

I will let the pictures to the talking...

Here's what I wore to the show, I wasn't sure what to wear so I kept it simple with this new top from ASOS Curve, I love the sheer half of the top and with the jersey pencil skirt from ASOS main range there's a peek-a-boo effect with ma belly!

Miss Plus Size International - OOTD

Last week I was invited to an interview for the Miss Plus Size International competition (formally Miss BBW International)!

"Miss Plus Size International is a competition where plus size women and their admirers can come together to celebrate the beauty of size in a non judgmental environment and show that some of us do actually appreciate our curves! Most importantly, we show that we are comfortable in our own skin and not intimidated by the continuous pressure from the media to fit into a certain size label to be deemed acceptable in society. We proudly recognise that a great many plus size women do hold down high powered jobs and lead perfectly normal and happy lives. Not everyone wants to be a size zero and we are here to prove that there is life after a size 18!"

I actually found out what I was invited to the interviews the Monday before the interviews which took place on Saturday 26th January so I didn't have much time to plan an outfit! 

Luckily I had brought this gorgeous checker board print skirt form asos that I was itching to wear, and teamed it with my trusty peplum dress also from asos curve.

Skirt: asos Peplum dress: asos Wedges: you guessed it, asos!

It was a really fun day, I met some lovely ladies from all over the UK and it was great to see so many positive, confident women.

Until next time!
