OMCZ - My First one!

Hi!





Date Due: Wednesday, 5th June
Time Due prior to noon your time.
Challenge: Shorts


Today is my first OMCZ challenge post. I decided to take part after seeing it on Leah's blog and Becky's Blog.

The theme this time is shorts! Now I'm not a great lover of shorts as I can never find any that fit my plus size thighs. The ones that do fit are always to big on the waist for me or are too short.

Anyway we popped into Asda a few weeks ago as I wanted to try and get a pair for our holiday in a few weeks and surprisingly they had some in my size and they fitted so I picked up two pairs, at £8 each they are a bargain!


 
 
 

Much Love

    Welcome to OMCZ and i'm so glad you managed to post as I know you didn't have a lot of time.

    I love the white shorts with the orangey / Red top (sorry I'm rubbish with colours I can never decide which one it is)

Pretty in red

Hi! We paid a visit to the lovely town of Cirencester a few weeks ago. Whilst we were there we had a quick wonder around and also managed to pop into a shop or two! I haven't had much luck with charity shop finds this year, every time I see something nice it's never in my size..bah! Anyway I saw a British Heart Foundation and thought I would have a quick look in. The first thing I saw was this gorgeous top, it was originally from M&S and still had the tags on. I didn't try it on as I thought it looked big enough and at £3.99 I had to snap it up! I paired it with this pretty skirt I bought from the New Look sale a few weeks ago. This was going to be my Plus North day outfit but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to wear it. I forgot I had a white bra on! Do you ever shop in charity shops? Much Love N x

Food | Breakfast Time!

Hi, A good weekend for me starts with a good breakfast, not just a bowl of cereal but creamy eggs on toast, juice and maybe a pastry or two! If you follow me on Instagram you will see that most weekends I post stories of Mr C and I at our favourite breakfast spot, The Batch Café. We first discovered the Batch back in 2017 after spotting it on Instagram. I said to Mr C that we had to add it to our list of places to try. Our first visit was late one Saturday morning so it was more brunch than breakfast. Mr C opted for a ploughman's lunch and I went with my favourite, scrambled eggs on toast. I'm super fussy when it comes to scrambled eggs, I love fresh eggs with a bit of salt and pepper, they have to be creamy but not too runny and piping hot. I have been to many places where I have left my eggs, if I can't tick all of the above then I won't eat them. As soon as I tried the ones at the Batch I told Mr C we would be coming back. The eggs were perfectly cook

Flash the flesh!

When a group of bloggers join together for a chat you know that the final result has to be super! So this happened once more when a few days ago we were talking about our prefences between mini and maxi and Becky thought that it would be great to create a challenge where the goal was to show a little but more skin and our body(but with style and no vulgarity) showing proudly our curves. And so 'flash the flesh' was born! I went outside because a few weeks ago I went out in a dress with tights and some random man decided to shout out that I had fat legs! Since then I have been feeling slightly self conscious about my legs so when the idea of flash the flash came up I thought why not step outside, flash my little 'fat' legs and get my confidence back! It was quite difficult today as it was so windy but here are my pics (and please excuse my wind swept hair!) and I had to put my jacket on after coming out because it was a little chilly! Here are the links to the oth
