Party Time!

Hi!

We had our works Christmas party a few weeks ago so I thought I would do a quick post on my dress.

I had an absolute nightmare trying to find a dress, I can't even tell you how many I tried on. On Thursday I placed a quick order with Pinkclove as they have a sale on at the moment.

I ordered four dresses and a jacket, I think it would about £60 in total which I thought was quite reasonable. Anyway after telling Mr C how much I spent, I also told him that I would only keep one and send the rest back (cough cough!).

I will show the other dresses in another post because as soon as I tried them on I knew I wouldn't be sending anything back...whoops!

Here is what I wore:




I loved this dress as soon as I tried it on. I sized up so that I would be comfortable during the evening.

The top is a gorgeous silky material which was nice and thick and stayed in place all night (along with the help of a good bra). The skirt part was super comfortable and had plenty of stretch in it, always good after eating a 3 course meal!

I'm so glad I ordered it now, I felt amazing in it all night!

Sorry for the not so great photos, I took this a few days later as I didn't get home until 1.30am and my feet and knees were aching as I once I was on the dance floor I seemed to believe my name was Beyoncé!

Much Love

    You look fabulous. That dress is just perfect for a work party. Moderately conservative but sexy at the same time!

    You look gorgeous and the dress looks much nicer on you than on the model. x

300th Post

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

OMCZ #23

Hello! Happy New Year! The first day of 2014 starts off with a OMCZ challenge post. This week was the turn of Betty from BigFatBetty , this is what she choose as her theme: Challenge: ' Pretty Pencils'   Pretty Pencils': I absolutely love pencil skirts but I've never had the confidence to wear them, what with the VBO and all that jazz. However, I've just ordered a beauty and I could really do with that push in order to wear it...let me see all you lovely ladies rocking your pencil skirts, get those pins out and share your style tips (as I also have no idea what to wear with the damn thing)! 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
