Smart casual with a hint of my eccentricity in it!

I hope that one day Mr C and I will get married, settle in a new home and live a good happy life! oh and that I continue to blog and enjoy it!

What has been the best part of blogging?

The confidence it has given me, last summer on the odd warm days we had I lived in trousers or jeans and never showed my arms, this year I have been wearing dresses, skirts and vest tops. I also enjoy chatting to fellow plus size bloggers.

What has been your best ever bargain buy?

A dress that can also be used as a skirt from Evans - It will be in a post soon!

What has been your biggest fashion disaster?

One that never leaves my mind is a pair of lime green shorts I bought to go on holiday to the USA, my sister had the same pair but in neon yellow, I have no idea what every possessed us to buy them!

What has been your biggest fashion triumph?

Peplum tops, I find them so comfortable and they fit over the top of my bubble butt!

What item of clothing would you never wear?

Short skirts or Short 'shorts', I still don't feel comfortable about showing my thighs too much.

Heels or flats? Flats!

How did you choose the name of your blog?

I went through lots of different names before I cam up with this one, I wanted to combine my love of gardening and fashion so that's when awheelbarrowfullofstyle was born!

How long have you been blogging? 

I started in in January 2013, I was a bit slow to start off with as I was sure what I wanted to blog about. I think I really got into in around March/April time.

300th Post

Image
Hi!   So as you might be able to tell from the title, this is my 300th blog post! eeek!   I started this blog back in December 2012 after reading Girl With Curves and Forever Fabulous in Bows. I was absolutely blown away by these gorgeous woman writing and posting photos about their love of fashion and beauty. The next morning in the shower I came up with a name and opened up a brand new notebook to jot down all my ideas.   It was very difficult at first, I wasn't sure whether to blog about fashion, beauty, life or gardening. I thought that I had to post every day and I didn't even know how to use my camera properly. I finally decided to post about things that I enjoy, those being clothes, shopping, more clothes, beauty and myself and Mr C going on our travels somewhere! 18 months later and I can honestly say this is best hobby I have started and actually kept up with!   I want to say thank you to everyone that reads my blog and leaves lovely comments, it reall

Hello! Happy New Year! The first day of 2014 starts off with a OMCZ challenge post.

Betty x     I don't actually own a proper pencil skirt so at first I was a bit unsure of what to wear. I then remembered my trusty old black jersey pencil skirt. I bought this about 6 maybe even more, years ago from the plus size range, Grace at Sainsbury's.     Top - Pinkclove Skirt - Sainsburys   The skirt sat in my wardrobe for at lea

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
