    In the dressing room – Crossroads

    Last week I ducked into Crossroads to try a few things on. Crossroads is one of those stores when one month I can find 10 things I love and the next only 1. There are currently a few things that i’m eyeing off, and a few things have been added to the site since I last went in that I now want to go try those on! So without further waffling on, here is what I tried on. These jeans were the reason I wanted to go in store and try things on, I loved the look of the black pair online. Sadly, they didn’t have the black pair in…

    Outfit – Black Milk Velvet Cap Sleeve Skater Dress

    I haven’t been buying Blackmilk lately for a number of reasons, but when they released the Labyrinth collection, I couldn’t resist. For those who don’t know Labyrinth is my #1 favourite movie of ALL time and I can pretty much quote it word for word. I don’t have the language to describe how much the movie means to mean. My problem was, which pieces to buy. I desperately wanted the kimono but couldn’t justify the cost and I loved the Ludo crop. Can I just say how far I’ve come to share the above photo. A year ago this would have been straight in the bin, but I’m really focusing on…

    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…

    Outfit – Plus Size Christmas Doggo Skirt!

    Seeing as it’s Christmas time, I’ve dusted off my festive clothing and have enjoyed wearing them the past few weeks. I had to head out to the shops yesterday to pick up a few things but luckily remembered to take a few pictures when I got home. I got this skirt a few years ago from Modcloth and I count down the days til I can wear it. It’s just SO cute and it gets a lot of compliments. Dogs is Christmas clothing. Perfect! They don’t have a dog one this year, but they have a Christmas cat skirt and dress! I paired it with a plain black singlet and…

    Outfit – Blue Boho

    I’ve been trying to ‘shop my closet’ and wear clothes that don’t get as much love as newer things. To be honest, I hoard clothes a little bit. I try and go through and clean out pieces I don’t wear every season, but there are clothes in there that I bought 15 years ago (or well, my parents bought!). This shirt is one of those items, I don’t remember exactly how old it is, but it’s around 10 years old. It’s one of those comfy tops that I forget how much love until I wear it again. White isn’t a colour I wear much close to my face because it washes…
