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

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

Hi! Theme 4 - Short(s) Date 25th June 2015 Theme: Short(s) Our next theme is Short(s), feel free to use your imagination for this one and I can't wait to see what you all come up with.  First of all I have to apologise for missing the previous OMCZ challenge, it was the first time that it actually defeated me! I took some pictures but wasn't happy showing my tum so they were swiftly deleted and I never got time to re-do them again! As I purchased some new shorts recently for the summer I thought the OMCZ challenge would be the perfect time to show them! Top - old f21 Shorts - new look  Hat - h&m Don't forget to check out the other lovely ladies taking part!

Flash the flesh!

Image
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
