OOTD – I should have been a Unicorn!
On Sunday, I ventured out for Japanese again. Yep, it was that good I had to go again so soon. I got dressed, all cute and then realised the weather had changed and it was too cold to wear the outfit. Oh well. I decided to take photos anyway because as I mentioned, I thought it was super cute. Still trying to shop my wardrobe and wear things that haven’t seen the light of day, so the clothes aren’t available, but the brooches are! I teamed this awesome shirt (last seen here and here) with 2 of the unicorn brooches I have. Seeing as I have a fractured arm and had to…

Outfit – Oversized perfection!
Being fat you’re constantly being told what to wear and what not to wear. Don’t wear stripes. Accentuate your curves. Don’t wear oversized items. Do wear oversized items. Don’t wear colour. It’s allll over the shop. Everyone has their own opinion. Me? I wear what I want. A lot of people complain about the oversize shapeless dresses that so many plus size retailers do. Believe me, I’ve been guilty of it a time or two. Generally, I don’t want to wear an oversized sheet-like muumuu. But it doesn’t mean you can’t & it doesn’t mean there aren’t some really amazing oversized options out there. Case in point, this dress. I…

Aussie Curves – Festival
This outfit was one of the challenging ones for me! I’ve only ever been to one festival and that was Rumba. I was around 16. It’s not really my thing, I’m not a big fan of crowds, so I had to sit back and imagine! I ended up kind of looking a bit like a hippy! Please excuse the baggy knees in my stockings, I was being a bit lazy and didn’t fix them all up properly. Whoops. My main thoughts were comfort. While i’m not usually a shorts kind of person, I know i’d be forever paranoid about flashing someone in a dress. Stockings, so I could sit down…

Dizzy Little Dotty!
I’d known of Lauren as an before an email landed in my inbox from her asking if I’d be interested in styling up one of her shirts from her line Dizzy Little Dotty. Of course, being a fan I jumped to saying ‘yes, yes, yes’ straight away, before realising, uh, I don’t wear shirts often! I’ve tried styling it a few different ways, but I still end up usually pairing it with shorts or leggings. While i’m not sure if I ever style it right, as I’ve said, me and tees aren’t bffs, I actually seem to be wearing this tee FOREVER around the house, it’s like my go to…

Welcome to the new XL as Life!
I had made previous mentions that Extra Large as Life was getting some work done behind the scenes, and now finally, I can show you the in front of scenes newness! I’d been wanting to update the blog design for a while and figured the start of 2013 would make the perfect time, only, my muse could not figure out a header design, so I commissioned the ever so wonderful Lauren Carney to help out. The frame of the layout is the same, but as you can see the colours have changed slightly, and the text size has been increased. I’m still fiddling around a bit with the sidebar, but I’ve finally…
