Everybody, Get down tonight.

SSSSSSSS CLUBBBBB (there ain't no party like an S Club party!)

So that time of year has been put upon us once again, the Christmas parties. Now I realise a number have been and gone but lets not forget all the ladies and gents who work in retail or hospitality who often don't get chance to have there festive shenanigan's until January because they're busy working all over the Christmas holiday! 

So I'd thought I'd show you a few party stereotypes Curvissa sent me across to collaborate on with them. Now when I look at these myself I automatically think I'm certainly Number 1 - The Over-Dresser but in my defence who would I be to turn down an opportunity to get my glad rags on and sprinkle myself with sequins? We had my office blocks Christmas party just before we closed for the festive period and my work were certainly some of the most glamorous there in our wiggle and swing dresses and a healthy dose of glitter!

Now see what Curvissa say about the thoughts of The Over-Dresser.

"Someone misinterpreted the dress-code… awkward! She'll be wearing an extravagant style prom dress, too much fake tan,festive nails and overly high heels; probably not the best code of conduct if your office do is in the local bowling alley."

If you change up the high heels for glittery flatforms and vibrant lipstick for the fake tan it's not far wrong! Though working at a Vintage Magazine does mean I do luckily get chance to wear the odd pretty prom dress and express myself as I wish (though as on a usual basis I walk to work I tend to stick to something the wind won't blow me away in!) I'd choose something like this stunning little cocktail dress below to wear all I'd need would be a slick of glossy red lipstick and perfectly primped hair!

  Cocktail Dress.

It doesn't take me long to party once I've decided what to wear and according to a current survey I'm one of the majority for the North West as it takes 21% 15-30 minutes to get ready compared to Scotland where it takes 22% of the lashes over an hour to be party ready! Something else I love about office and social parties is that you get to see how everyone else likes to dress up when they're not suited and booted for work and the survey found out that 67% of women pay attention to what everyone is wearing and who doesn't love a good nosey at people fashion choices. The reason  57% of the women surveyed said they paid attention was just because “it’s nice to see everyone’s dress sense” and truthfully I couldn't agree more! 

So why not see which Work Christmas Party Stereotype you are?  and I couldn't resist using S Club 7 for the title as it is a party classic!

Perfect Party Frocks.

As Christmas day is something like only five days away! YES ONLY FIVE PANIC MODE IS WELL AND TRULY ON if you've still got lots of parties to go to I'm here to help I thought I'd do a post on some of the beautiful frocks from Simply Be Now unless your living under a rock you will know that they are one of the best places for plus size women's clothing if your after something fashionable but also flattering.

Now if you've been following my blog for a while you'll know I love anything with a cute collar so this peter pan collared tunic style dress is perfect for me not too dressy but enough detail on it for the festive season. Also the fabric it is made of will be perfect to wear when your filling your tummy with all that Christmas food! I'm also a huge fan of lace in particular lace dresses but I always tend to go for black ones but as I'm now much more confident in myself I would go for this beautiful angel ribbons lace tunic dress the style of the sleeves and flare of the bottom of the dress would just look great for a festive night out.

The final dress I have chosen to show you is this gorgeous glitter spot prom number, this would be great if you want the main focus to be the bottom half of your body and not your chest, it also adds a little sparkle without you ending up twinkling like a Christmas bauble. I would finish this look with a slick of pillar box red lipstick and a little shawl or bolero of some kind.

I hope you've liked reading this post as I want to show that not all plus size stores are frumpy and I think simply be really show that you can be over a size 18 and be fashionable! I'm hoping to get a few outfit posts/reviews up this week before Christmas day!

Winter jumper.

Its officially December now which means its now acceptable to play my Christmas playlist at full volume, though I've been listening to it through my headphones since mid October... I also want to apologise that I look pretty rough here I've actually spent the majority of the week tucked up in bed at uni full of flu but I'm finally feeling a little bit more human so I took these before I left for home.

I'm wearing an amazing jumper I bought from the charity shop last Easter but haven't had chance to wear until now, it's not as baggy as my usually grandad jumpers but I love it all the same. The denim shirt under neath was also from the charity shop a few summers ago and I tend to just throw it over anything though generally its worn in the summer with leggings and a top this year I'm going to wear it with all my winter clothes too as I just love the look it gives!

I've also had my haircut since my last outfit post though you can't overly tell! Its just nice to be able to see where I'm going again! I've also not dyed my hair since before starting uni so at the moment I don't really know what colour it is but I am planning on bleaching the ends blonde very soon!

So no its officially Christmas has anyone got there decorations up already?

suitable for an evening?

I am so sorry this is such a pathetic outfit post but these really are the best of a bad bunch. I though I'd try something different and use my white walls in the loft, which wasn't the best idea there is not a lot of head room up there! The photographs are also really bad quality and this is what you get for rubbish lighting and having to use the web cam on your laptop. I took some much nicer ones on my camera but it seems to have gone walk about and is still yet to be found (most likely lurking in the bombsite which is my room)

This possible part outfit was what I was thinking about wearing for my friend Charlie's 18th. I knew it had to be pretty much also make me look a little older or more used to going out in general. In the end I wore my black and red floral culottes which you can see in a post from September here , because if the truth be told I'm not really a dress person which probably sounds strange to you as I quite often show up on my blog sporting a dress or skirt of some kind but Its often with thick tights or leggings and when I'm at parties I am always conscious that my bum on show, which for a girl like me really isn't a good look.

The dress is from Dorothy Perkins way, way back it could be three years old I tend to layer it a lot so it can be smart or casual I'm going to try it with some fun coloured tights and a long sleeved stripy top for Christmas...maybe. The lace top underneath is from tesco, I am really not keen on the tops of my arms but I feel fine going out in this! You may be able to to see a little box bag in the corner of the second image I bought that little gem from a second-hand bag shop in Antwerp it was originally a little sewing box I think, but really the upholstery on it is just utterly adorable.

I do apoligise for the lack of outfit posts and what-not recently! hopefully there will be a few more over the coming week or so and I promise to try and post up before christmas.
