Plus Size Work Wear Challenge - How To 'Work' The Blazer.

Blazer: Vintage-Charity Shop. Dress: Primark. Belt: Dorothy Perkins. Bag: Vintage-Charity Shop. Necklace: Vintage Fair. Bracelet: Vintage-Charity Shop.

This is my first post for The Plus Size Work Wear Challenge which was set up by the lovely Naomi of Diamonds and Pearls you can also see her post here with all the other bloggers involved in this lovely little thing! The first challenge for all us girls was how to 'work' the blazer. 

Now where I work there isn't a dress code we all dress how we like, which is of course brilliant as I don't have to be stuck in a stuffy suit or shirt I'm not uncomfortable in not only is that great but my job is in general anyway and it's a pretty awesome enviroment to work in to. So I wore one of my comfy Tee dresses of which I own 4 of all from Primark well 5 if you count the Matalan version I have as well! There easy for the office and don't crease easily either which is a winner in my book. I also noticed after taking these I have quite a few Charity Shop items on here but what I can I say? I love a good rummage and it makes it even better when I find gems like this jacket, bag and bracelet (all from different stores).

I've somehow caught a cold since yesterday morning so I feel a bit like death warmed up, which in my book means covering my face in make up to hide my pink nose! My hair well primarily my fringe is in desperate need of a trim, it's driving me mad! Don't forget to check out all the other girls posts for this week! And if you're on twitter you can find us all on the #PSWorkwear hashtag.

Sometimes you just need to go for it.

I was struggling to think of a title for this post until I came across this quote on tumblr and it seemed pretty fitting. I feel like I've been just going for it so to speak with my fashion choices lately, from crop tops and high waisted skirts to more vibrant colours and interesting prints which is where this dress comes into play. I picked this up on Asos from the main range and its very roomy, granted I positive a few plus size girls would stay well away from a swing dress but I decided to take the plunge and they're now one of my favourite shapes to wear and so comfortable. The print also made it for me to, I honestly haven't owned anything purple as far as I'm aware until this came along and if you look closely you can see butterflies fluttering around the flowers so pretty! I paired this with one of my much loved necklaces which is from Claire's and my new jacket which has basically not been off my back since I bought it.

I decided to do a beehive style with my hair but I'm not sure it really worked. I have so much hair that by the time I've sprayed and backcombed it's already gone flat again because it's so heavy, such a pain! Then finished it with my usual red lipstick. Ps sorry I've been a little quiet I've finally made it back to work so I've actually been busy every day. (which FYI is a good thing!)

I am so late posting about this as it was over two weeks ago now! But the lovely people at Evans were nice enough to invite me down to Arcadia Head Office for an afternoon of having sneak peaks at new collections and collaborations (Just so you know some pieces are AMAZING, I can't wait to wear them) we were also lucky enough to get to play dress up in some of the new clothing going into store's and online soon!

The dress I'm wearing is by Scarlett & Jo  and this range is available from February 5th. I actually got into a size 16 with this but it was definitely tight! I adore the length of the sleeves as it means you won't have to find a cardigan to cover your arms if that's what you prefer. Also the lace inserts are just another really pretty detail. I realise I probably look pretty awkward can I blame the shoes? They were MASSIVE Caroline of Curvy Wordy actually had to put me in them and help me up, lets just say I'm a flatform/wedge girl at heart!

I got to spend the day with some of my fave bloggers who are truly close friends to me now! So of course it was a total blast, the other collections/collaborations we saw were the beautiful Alex Monoe "Alouette, Live Unlimited  out 25th March and finally Collection which is out 14th April. So finally another thank you to a lovely evening Evans!
