Ever been told that you shouldn’t wear stripes because you’re fat? I have heard it so many times: I shouldn’t wear horizontal stripes because it makes my bum look big, it makes my waist look thicker, the curves of my stomach distort the stripes…
So here I am: big bum, thick waist, and visible belly outline. View PostBoohoo.com got in touch with me recently, and invited me to join in a game of Wardrobe Bingo! Fashion should be fun, and this is a wonderful way of both giving you a sneak peek inside my closet and pairing up clothes that I might not usually put together.
This is how it works:
First, I picked 5 items of clothing for each part of my body – 5 items of footwear, 5 accessories, then 5 tops and 5 bottoms. Then I numbered each item in each category from 1 to 5, and randomly picked numbers to put together my final outfit, mashed up from different styles and clothes from my wardrobe!
While my wardrobe might be full of black clothes and other dark colours, I’m told that some of you are fans of bright pops of colour in winter! Having a hunt around, it wasn’t so easy to find awesome bright winter clothes for plus size ladies, so after searching far and wide, I thought I’d share some of my fave finds…
This jacket from City Chic is all kinds of bright! View Post
Denim is not so much a trend as it is an enduring classic. It’s pretty much a Winter essential, so here are a few of my fave denim pieces around at the moment.
No longer is denim restricted to straight legged jeans, there are jeans of all different styles and colours, as well as shirts, dresses, skirts, and of course, the ever cool denim jacket.
However you decide to embrace the denim trend, let us offer this one piece of advice: only wear one piece of denim at a time. Double denim should be reserved for cowboys and awkward family photos…
The denim jacket is such a classic piece that I couldn’t go past this one – while there are heaps of denim jackets out there (including some you’ll see a little further down the page), this unadorned number really reflects traditional denim jacket design. No colour, no embellishments, just denim awesomeness. View Post
Navy blue is one of my favourite colours, so I thought I’d share with you some wonderful ways to wear it.
This dress combines three of my favourite things – lace, navy and black. It’s form fitting and fabulous, and designed to flatter any body shape. View Post
