Marisota SS14 Style Challenge.

Biker Jacket: c/o Marisota. Jeans: Matalan. Top: Asos Curve. Socks: Urban Outfitters. Shoes: New Look. Necklace: Topshop. Glasses: Jeepers Peepers.

The lovely guys at Marisota gave me the chance to style up an item from there upcoming SS2014 pieces and I was lucky enough to be sent this beautiful Boucle Biker Jacket from the Ava by Mark Heyes collection. It's something I wouldn't usually go for as it's such a pale colour and for someone as accident prone as me it's something I tend to shy away from. I can't get over how grown up I actually feel in this get up, of course I've still got my creative focal points to stop me feeling overly mature with my polka dot socks, pointed flats, quirky frames and heart necklace but I felt very professional in this like I could take over the world? I received this in a size 20 and it fits a dream, it doesn't zip up on me but as I don't wear any jackets done up this isn't a problem for me. It even fits well with a jumper under neath, so perfect for layering!

I decided to style this with jeans to keep it on the more casual side another item I tend to avoid due to the fact they never seem to fit me nicely and I end up with my tummy getting cut in two with the waistband or just a very baggy bum! For the time being these basic straight leg jeans from Matalan ( a bargain at a £10) shall suffice. The top is a very recent purchase for my upcoming trip to London for a few days with uni as it's comfortable, doesn't crease easily and I love the mesh piece at the top, I actually sized up to a 22 in this thinking it would be loose but as you can see it's not so I'd certainly suggest going up a dress size. I finished the look with my latest piece of bling that fabulous heart cut out necklace and a slick of my trade mark coloured lips!

Apologies if my photographs are a little off, I've recently upgraded to a snazzier camera and I'm still getting used to the setting and no I haven't bothered reading the instructions....

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!)
