Shop Your Stash #4

Hi!



Welcome to the Shop Your Stash Challenge. This is all about finding a gem in what you already own and creating a blog post on it. This is to let go a little of the stress that comes with being a blogger - even if it is just once a month. Rummage through your beauty products and climb through those clothes draws. You might surprise yourself!

I bought this dress when I went to Plus London last year. It has been sat in my wardrobe since then, I think that I had been keeping it for a special occasion. But those are far and few between, so I'm just going to wear it whenever!

When I tried it on again I realised why I was drawn to it in the first place. The lightweight cotton material will be perfect for the warm weather. The sleeves are just long enough so that I could feel comfortable about this wearing this without a jacket or cardigan. I seem to be having a love/hate relationship with my arms at the moment, veering closer to the hate. Hopefully this will pass and I can get plenty of wear out of it over the coming months.




 
Much Love

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

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

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
