Plus Size OOTD | Beach Chic

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

Well, I can't quite believe the response last week's Plus Size OOTD post received! I'm sure every blogger feels this way but I really truly think Sprinkle of Glitter readers are the very best. In case you missed it, you can see it HERE. To date 276 of you have left amazing comments and tens of thousands of you have read it, so, WOW. THANK YOU.

Since I had my camera/husband-man with me this weekend, I thought I would share another OOTD with you. I would love to make this a weekly feature but my most frequent companion is only 2 years old and not too great with a camera yet. We'll see how we go!

Outfit Round-Up

White 50's sunglasses :: River Island

Oversized navy tee :: ASOS Curve

Nude and rose gold jacket :: New Look

Long necklace :: Accessorize

Pink and lime scarf  :: Accessorize 

Supersoft skinny jeans :: Dorothy Perkins

Bow and crystal sandals :: Miss Selfridge

I had worn this outfit all day. That included walking all round Liverpool city centre shops, looking round a kiddie museum, lugging a pushchair up three flights of stairs (yay for broken lifts, not), in 2 restaurants (it was a good day haha) and then for a baby free stroll along the beach when Darcy was with her grandparents. This outfit is DURABLE!

I would have liked to have taken up close shots of the sandals but just now my feet are not 'summer ready' so I have provided you a link (in the outfit round-up) and urge you to check them out. They are dreamy! I think £49.99 is pretty expensive for a pair of sandals but these are just so pretty and so, so, so comfortable that I don't mind at all. I feel like they add a lot to an outfit and make you feel extra glamorous. Perfect for when your outfit needs a little boost.

The scarf and necklace were naughty impulse purchases this weekend from Accessorize but I think they make the outfit really fun and I always feel more confident with a scarf to draw attention away from lumps and bumps I'm not keen on.

The oversized tee is a recent purchase from ASOS. I bought it in a size 20 so that it would be kind of tunic-like on me and when I take the jacket off it gives a one-shoulder top effect which I think looks comfy-slouchy-sexy (good description there). Also, if you are bigger like I am, a top that skims your bum and tum is always going to be a winner.

Overall I am in love with this outfit. Not great in too much heat but perfect for the British summer, where layering is key and perfect for gals on the go, where comfort is key!

Do you have any favourite pieces from this look? Is there anything you would add or change? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Plus Size OOTD | Midi Dress and Bow Belt

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

We have discussed it before but I am plus size. Fat, chubby, cuddly, bigger boned, call it what you like, the fact of the matter is I am a size 18 and feel relatively alright about this. As that lovable rouge Honey Boo Boo (google her) would say, 'I'm size CUTE' hahaha.

Lately I have been buying, wearing and LOVING midi length clothes. I find them to be so flattering and so comfortable (no worrying about thigh cellulite showing for me!) and also I find that I feel quite confident in them in a, 'I don't need to show off all my flesh to be sexy or attractive' way. 

Navy Jersey Midi Dress - ASOS

Denim 3/4 Sleeves Jacket - Primark (last season)

Red Bow Belt - Primark

Gold Bobble Necklace - Accessorize

Coral Heels (Also worn HERE) - Newlook

I don't know about you but I find that I make so much more effort with my outfits in the Summer. In the Winter it seems to be just a matter of putting on as many clothes as possible but still being able to move, but now the warmer weather is upon us I feel like getting dressed is 'a thing'. 

I absolutely love this outfit today. It can be dressy or casual and could take you from day to night (trust me, I've done it) and because the dress is cotton you feel like you are wearing jimjams! Also, since the dress (HERE) was only £25 and I have already had SO much wear out of it, I'm declaring it a bargain!

I wrote/photographed quite a few OOTD's last year so if you would like to take a looksie, here are some of my favourites ::

Smart Orange

Bright White

Rainy Summer

Beige Spring

High Waisted Florals

Family Picnic <-- 2010="" from="" p="">

What key fashion pieces are you loving this summer? Where do you find most fruitful to shop? 

Please do let me know in the comments but a polite request- Please don't just write 'Amazing Post!' and then leave your blog link. There are repeat offenders of this that just write that on everyone's blogs so they can spread their link about, without even reading the post and it's rude. I'm all for leaving your blog as your signature if you have written a proper, relative comment because it enables me (and others) to find you and you're being part of the community, but please don't just spam and go. It leaves a very bad taste and only reflects poorly on you. There, consider yourself told off and behave in future- thank you!! x

Curvy OOTD || Bright White

 

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

I wore this outfit a little while ago to a friend's BBQ and was pleased as punch at how many people said I looked nice. I wanted to take some photos of it, but since the moon was coming out to play and the sun was going to bed, I had to use the flash, which I know isn't always idylic. Oh well, I can't control astronomy.

This white skirt was from ASOS and in the sale for under £10 which was brilliant. Sometimes ASOS can be a bit poopy in quality but this feels lovely, really sturdy if you will.

The vest was from H&M, the mint bag from Primark and the shoes from New Look. The cat was already there. Tehe. 

I've always been a bit uncertain about wearing white because I have 'black is slimming' engraved in my brain, but really, white is doable. As long as you wear clothing that fits and flatters/suits your body shape, it is absolutely an option for you!

I'm not off to spend a few more pennies in the ASOS sale- oops!!

Toodlepip!

OOTD || Girlie Cocktails

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

As I mentioned last week, I had Saturday and Sunday family free whilst Matt and Baby Glitter spent some time with family in Liverpool.

Naturally I made the most of this and arranged to paint the town pink with my chum Nicki and she kindly took some snaps of my outfit so I could show you all.

Pink Dress :: New Look

Mint Cardigan :: New Look

Black Studded Shoes :: New Look

Mint Handbag :: Primark

Moonstone Ring :: Primark

Charm Bracelet :: Accessorize

Gold Belt :: Next

I am absolutely in love with candy colours at the moment, so this pink and mint outfit made me feel great. 

I will be doing a FOTD post soon so do keep your eyes peeled.

Are you enjoying the pastel trends?

Toodlepip!
