FFF - "We go from green to blue to gold to black"

Dress/Leggings: Matalan. Denim Jacket: M&Co. Shoes/Belt: Peacocks. Box Bag: Vintage Style Boutique.

It's time yet again for another Fat Fabulous Four challenge and this time were taking on stripes, which are a firm favourite in my wardrobe! When I'm out shopping they're something I'm naturally drawn to and always pick up. I know some people would say that stripes aren't very flattering on a plus size figure but in all honestly I couldn't care less I love wearing them and that's all that matters! This dress is a midi dress from Matalan but I've altered it as being a short arse means they're far to long on me as they are and I prefer a higher hemline so I can wear them with leggings. Denim jacket from one of my firm favourite stores M&Co, so often my friends don't believe me when I say what I'm wearings from there. I think sometimes people think it's somewhere mothers or grandmothers shop at when in reality they have some adorable vintage inspired and trend lead pieces. 

Some of my accessories are from good old Peacocks, I simply adore this belt I picked it up last weekend. The colours and easy feel to it make it perfect for this summer, it also matches my super old and battered flats also from Peacocks. I found this really cute box bag in an adorable vintage styled shop in my hometown, I've walked past and looked in the window so many times but never actually been in until today and lets just say I could buy the whole place out, it's so pretty and surprisingly for that kind of thing really well priced. I finally finished the look with my usual red lipstick and crontic bitch face!

FFF - "The boys just call me Camouflage"

 

Camo Tee: Local Army and Navy store. Jeggings: old New Look. Flatforms: Primark. Cameo Brooches: Vintage and Thrifted.

It's time yet again for another Fat Fabulous Four challenge This time were taking on the camouflage trend. I recall it suddenly becoming really into it's own last september so and I wanted to jump on board so picked up with Camo tee from my local army and navy store then never really wore it because I just didn't know what to put with it and it wasn't baggy enough for my liking! But I'm so glad one of the girls chose this as I overall love this look, hence why theres more pictures than normal. I just wore my usual red lipstick this time it being Rimmel Apocolips in Big Bang! My title for this post came from when I googled "songs with the word Camouflage in... apparently its by Stan Ridgway?

The flatforms are well loved from last summer and I will cry my eyes out when they decide to go to shoe heaven! The jeggings are super old from New Look Inspire and they're something I have a love/hate relationship with. One the one hand they look pretty rad but on the other THEY FALL DOWN ALL THE TIME! My problem is to get them to fit nicely on my tummy, thighs and bum they fall down a little every time I walk which then leads to my bum wiggle pulling up jean dance (if you say you don't have one, I know you're lying... EVERYONE does!) Another of my latest fashion obsessions is turning up the sleeves on all my tees it just makes them look so much better in my eyes and just adds a little detail to an otherwise basic outfit. You may also of seen on twitter that I cut my own fringe, a scary prospect I know but it was doing my head in so much I just had to! I may pop a few snaps up on the blog of how I did as surprisingly I didn't bugger it up so badly. PS I was feeling fierce and rad thats the reason for the last picture!

FFF Oversized and Comedy Night.

Top: Asos Curve. (P)leather Jacket: Dorothy Perkins. Leggings: Matalan. Shoes: Primark.

It's time yet again for another Fat Fabulous Four challenge This time were tackling oversized! I own quite alot of oversized tee's as I find them more comfortable and easy to wear. I wore this outfit out on Thursday night to go to Mulligans Irish Bar for The Monday Club comedy night Featuring the likes of Dean Smith his lovely sister Hannah and a number of guys and gals from north west shows like Hollyoaks, Corrie and Waterloo Road. (it's usually on a Monday...) with fellow blogger babe Charl of Ginger Girls Says it was our second date at Mulligans and was just as funny as the first one, though a little less crowded as Nico Mirallegro wasn't gracing the evening with his presence which meant less screaming teenage girls.

I wanted to be comfortable as I'd been feeling ill for most of the day. I also decided to go against that one fashion rule of not wearing leggings with tee's but I hope I got away with it as I always wear them with an oversized top half and very thick leggings, which are my adorable ones from my previous post! My finishing touches were my trusty pleather jacket, cute flats a patent red bag (not pictured) and this lovely necklace from Claire's Accessories! I know it used to be the place we'd all go for our scene kid gear, boy headband anyone? But they genuinely have some really pretty necklaces I made the chain longer for this one, which has a soppy quote about love on it! I decided taking these snaps on the virtually empty train home was a good idea so we did, We were all kinds of ghetto fabulous that night it has to be said!

#FFF Pastel Time!

Tee/Lace Top: Dorothy Perkins. Bag: Topshop. Trousers: Primark. Shoes: c/o Clarks.

So we're a week behind due to us all being super busy or just loosing our minds slightly (that's probably just me though and I am super late with this one!) So just in case you missed the first post of the Fat Fabulous Four challenge, we're basically just 4 bloggers me, Becky of The Ramblings of Mrs BeBe, Toni of The only way is Toni and Mhairi of Lilybobombs.Tackling different trends/looks every fortnight.  

This week is pastels!

Now I don't see myself as a pastel princess I own very little I did have an amazing dress I wanted to show you but I'm saving that for a future post, then I remembered this little gem of a top I bought last summer! I paired it with a white tee under as it's still nippy here in the north. I loved these trousers as soon as I saw them in Primark this time last year but due to being so ill over last summer they never left my wardrobe and then I just wasn't sure what to pair them with. So I kept it cute with my quilted heart shaped bag and my pretty much now trademark red lips (Ruby Tuesday from Maxfactor was today's choice.) If you have any idea how else I can style these trousers I'd love to know! I'm actually thinking about making them more ankle grazers?

Now onto these beautiful shoes! I was lucky enough to be asked to review these Clarks Chorus Voice Suede Shoes months ago but due to many things adding up in my life I've only just had chance to show them to you! I've never owned a nude coloured shoe but I don't think these will be my last I was originally worried they wouldn't look right with my wardrobe but oh how wrong I was, not only that but they are insanely comfortable and for a girl who try's to avoid heels at all costs that's a big deal! They also look lovely with my vintage and vintage repro clothing, which is another big plus in my book and finally apologies for the moody expression blame my photographer!
