Banned Dress

Although I'thou a little disappointed past the lack of plus size styles from Banned this season, they do have ii things I appreciate; ane. Trousers. ii. GODDAMN LOBSTERS.

I'm also interested in the wide leg trousers, they have a wide elasticated waist which seems like a dandy idea for plus sizes.
Dolly And Dotty

I've not being keeping an eye on Dolly and Dotty recently — and more fool me, really! They've got some incredibly pretty prints in this flavour, and a new apparel style I actually love — the Patricia. And they cater up to a size 26, which is so refreshing to run into.

Happy… Wednesday? Oops, I've been busy!
Sorry for the lateness on this post, guys! I've been lucky enough to be decorated with a lot of different things with work and socialising that it's been a little bit harder to go posts done equally quickly as earlier! Just that aside, how are yous guys? How'due south things going? Anyone else going for a 'Sparks Joy' sort of life?
And so unless you've been living under a stone for a while now, you've probably heard of Marie Kondo and the "sparks joy" art of tidying she does. A few years dorsum she wrote a volume about tidying, and more recently has invaded Netflix with her show. Now, I'm not against stuff at all – I'1000 the messiest near-hoarder yous'll see! Merely I'm completely into having my stuff organised and not on the floor where I tin't find it…
In my KonMari cleaning phase I'grand going through, I'm actually trying to fall back in love with some sometime clothes I accept. I'm going through my wardrobe slowly at the moment, since I've got less than 6 months until I'll be moving into a new place. And when moving into a new home, I recollect it's of import to only take what you honey. Now dorsum in the day, I did a spring cleaning your wardrobe mail service, which incidentally has some overlap with the KonMari method.
I'm very lucky that brands sponsor a lot of my habiliment and accessories, I'k very aware. But it has given me a flake of a scrap on my shoulder near just posting outfits with new items other people can purchase. Which then means at that place's things in my wardrobe that don't get the love they deserve from me.
The 'Sparks Joy' test
Then I'chiliad making a pledge to myself to wear every particular of clothing in my wardrobe. No affair how old or new information technology may be, I'll be wearing information technology. And if it doesn't "spark joy" or requite me a good feeling, information technology will exist donated, given away or sold. I've already sorted out numberless of stuff ready to go since they don't fit, and I'k sure more will follow. At the very least, I'll be able to curate a great wardrobe full of things I dear wearing.
And so I took ane of my favourite dresses out for a walk in Gunnersbury Park the other calendar week! This is actually a Lindy Bop dress from late 2015, and one that up until this year was in heavy rotation. The print is amazing, of course, but I honestly call up information technology's the only Audrey style that has ever truly suited me. There's actually a few sizes left in this mode! And I tin't recommend information technology more!
Keeping the boozy theme I have my well-loved The Crown Box Purse from Vendula London. And of course — the greatest cardigan Collectif ever brought out! I can't believe this cardigan is already 5 years quondam, honestly. The quality of these cardigans in particular was above and across anything else Collectif has done!
I fancied being a flake more colourful, too! I recall I've been in a bit of a colour oestrus and only ever want to clothing black, so calculation these We Honey Color tights were a must!
Are you trying the KonMari method? Having a clear out at all? Let me know in the comments!

How are nosotros feeling? Getting Christmassy at all?
I'chiliad non feeling Christmas this yr if I'm honest, and although I want to be Cindy Lou Who, I'm most certainly a Grinch at the moment. Bring on the mince pies and mulled wine, I say! I need a Christmas injection soon. Merely for now I'm serving some New Years Eve Glamour with the Lindy Bop Gina wearing apparel!
Remember when I showed you my favourite plus-size friendly party dresses? Well, you might remember the Lindy Bop Gina wearing apparel! I've now started a good collection of Lindy Bop dresses, which yous've now seen well-nigh of. Simply ane thing I didn't accept of theirs? Something really classical!
Now, I'm a total gold girl. I dearest gold everything – jewellery, gold phone, gold accessories, gilded shoes. Before this dress I had no clothes that were gilded though! Well, half gold. (The word gold has lost all meaning to me at present) And isn't it simply so pretty?
How does information technology fit?
I took my usual 22 in this clothes, and would say it'southward roughly true to size. However, if yous take a bigger bust or bigger artillery, I'd definitely size up. My upper artillery are quite big, and the sleeves were just that bit too tight. It doesn't make the wearing apparel uncomfortable, luckily, merely any tighter and in that location would've been an issue.
The waist was, if anything, a footling larger than the bosom would lead you to believe, actually! It fit well without a chugalug, which is the main matter.
As you can see in the photo below, the arms could practice with an actress inch. There is some stretch, and it helps with the bust, just the sleeves don't take too much give.
The bodice is made from buttery soft cotton sateen, and the brim is a cotton wool twill. I beloved cotton twill considering information technology'due south the sort of material that could withstand a hurricane, which is commencement nicely by the sateen. For those of you that don't know fabric, the elevation has a sheen and some stretch, and the skirt keeps its shape amazingly well.
The surplice bodice is quite moveable, and the stretch means it would be a neat breastfeeding dress! I had to movement it to sit under my breast, though – call up that larger busts should size up! Or else fear the carve up-boob-look. Practice yous want that? No. No you do not.
There's a bow at the side, too. It's cute enough, but I really wished the ties were more than structured, personally. I've loved massive bows ever since my lolita days, simply I admit it's my to the lowest degree favourite part of this dress. I may just take off the ties to rectify it, though!
I went for a slightly classic 50s look with this dress, wearing a gorgeous new-to-me halo pillbox lid. Although I doubtable the hat is 80's, it'due south absolutely gorgeous and only cost me £3.l, too! I didn't get great photos of it, merely believe me on this one.
What do you lot think, guys?
I hateful really, you cannot get wrong when this dress costs £38. Yes, it really is that cheap! And yous'll be stunned past the quality of information technology, I hope you. Now, who's wearing it for New Years Eve?

Happy Saturday! I hope you're not quite equally freezing as I am today?
How are we all feeling? I had a week at my mums, which was more than about decorating her firm instead of relaxing – but I came dwelling with a fresher mind than before. If I get over this head cold I've accumulated, of course! On Th we looked at what was going on around the Goodwood Revival site. But we didn't see much style, did we? So for Style Saturday we're going to look at some Goodwood style!
If you read the last post, or happened to be on Instagram on the eighth September, yous might of known I got invited to Goodwood Revival. I was invited to be an influencer with Mastercard'due south Revival Style, which meant I got to sit forepart-row to their fashion testify.
The production values for this show were out of this earth. Information technology followed a "High Flyer" through the Riviera life in the heyday of Goodwood's racing. To remind you, that's 1948-1966.
This bear witness was fabricated upwards of higher-priced items, mainly. Goodwood'due south target market isn't exactly working course, and this prove really reflected that. After the show there was a dress mentioned to be from a store "Just across from Harrods" and I knew I wasn't in Kansas anymore. But hey, fashion shows are for inspiration, right? At least there was some beautiful items from Revival Retro and Seamstress of Bloomsbury to see!
Revival Style by MasterCard
Out of the whole bear witness, they did the 60's best out of all the decades. I didn't become a flick of her, but there was a vocalizer that was amazing, wearing the most gorgeous pink lamé dress. Consummate with beehive and big ol' hoops, of form.
It was a great prove of immaculately timed dancing and smug faces on the male lead, but it did come up upward a scrap short on a few things. Mainly the men's trousers – why does everyone remember men work ankle grazers in the 50's?!
Simply at present let'due south become on to my style!
I've had this Lindy Bop Marianne suit for a while, just for some reason never wore information technology before. I'll never know why, because I love it! Information technology was a sample I received a while dorsum, which is perhaps why I'd not reviewed it for fit before. I wouldn't say the jacket is the best fit for me, only the textile is forgiving in that respect, and the color is great.
The Marianne suit doesn't come in the flared version in majestic blue anymore, although y'all can get a pencil version. The teal version is more gorgeous though, then I want to see someone with that!
I've come to realise that royal blue is my colour. I stick out like a sore thumb amidst people who were dressed more authentically. But information technology just looks so right on me, don't you agree? Fifty-fifty these pedal cars made an effort to match!
Happy Saturday friends! It's and so chilly at the moment, simply I'k fully not ready to give up on Summer, all the same.
Summertime is my favourite season. Sure, I honey autumn and existence snuggly and crunching leaves, merely I too love not wearing tights. And I beloved summery pilus flowers. And also not wearing cardigans. So although autumn is clearly in the air, I'1000 clinging onto summer with some plus size pin up style!
I overdressed last week to walk the dog with this outfit last week. I had planned to go on a little risk with my boyfriend, but neither of us could really be bothered once I'd gotten gear up. Then overly-glam dog walking information technology was!
Y'all might call up this Lindy Bop skirt from one of my Japan trips before. Information technology still stands as the only pink particular in my wardrobe, yet is worn regularly through the year. I always think that pink and red never piece of work, but calculation black breaks it upwards only plenty, don't you lot think?
Part of the reason I'thousand non so ready to leave summer backside is that I just have besides many pilus flowers to still bear witness off! I love wearing hair flowers, and the bigger the better! I find I wear less over the winter due to a more subdued colour palate, so I want to make sure
Here I'm wearing the Billie Orchid and Pink Lily hair flower from Lady Lucks Boutique. I'm besides wearing an old unmarried pink Paloma lily, which is now out of stock, although you lot can still get a double Paloma! The Billie hair flower is plenty big on its own, but I actually feel like the extra scrap of pink sets of the skirt well.
There'south a reason in that location's so many entries in my Lady Lucks Bazaar tag – her flowers are the all-time around! I've had some of my flowers for nearing on five years, and they've never broken or looked ho-hum and sometime. And I say this from real experience, I accept and so many of their flowers!
Are y'all ready for summer to finish? Or are you clinging on the last of summer likewise?
Allow me know in the comments – and if y'all habiliment 'summer' hair accessories twelvemonth circular, I want to see them!
