Fatshion Faceoff - Denim Skirt

Denim Skirt

Another week, another fabulous Fatshion Faceoff post, if you are new to the blog, every week on wednesday myself and five other gorgeous ladies from around the globe pick an item of clothing which we all have and style it in our own individual ways.

This week it was the choice of hanna, who went with a denim skirt.

Now I haven't bought a denim skirt in years, but I had a very old maxi one, thrown into the back of the airing cupboard, which is getting a bit tight, but for this weeks purposes worked out pretty well, as it was fairly overcast and breezy today, I went for a light weigh shirt but one that has sleeves for a bit more coverage and It is a nice casual, relaxed look which is great for running errands and laid back days.

Please excuse the closed eyes, I was having one of those moments and every picture had closed eyes!

The skirt is a very old next one and the shirt was from the recent Simply Be sale.

I also wore my fabulous Funk & Finery cuff

I need to find myself a new denim skirt, it is really comfy, but want one that fits a little better. 

How do you wear a denim skirt, do you like a maxi or a mini?

Check out the posts from the other gorgeous ladies!

Fatshion Faceoff - Maxi Dress

This week it was my turn to choose the item, and I went for a maxi dress, my reason for this is I love them, but never know how to style them, and I am hoping the other fabulous ladies can show me how to look awesome in them!

I know as a very short person that I shouldn't wear them, but hey, rules are made to be broken right?

The dress I am wearing is from M&Co a couple of years ago now, but I loved the animal print and the bold colours of it, but I have only ever worn it twice as I am so unsure what to wear it with.

I tried to show how I have worn it during the day before and how I have worn it out for a party.

This picture was just for you guys :)

I decided to team my zebra print bracelet from Funk and Finery with it to keep the animal print.

The shoes are from Tescos last year and the cardi is TKMaxx

I don't feel like this is the most exciting outfit in the world but I do love maxi dresses, I think I just need to find my confidence with them, I plan on finding the perfect pair of sandals to team them with in the sunshine. 

Do you have your perfect maxi dress, what does it look like? feel free to post it to me on twitter, any help is appreciated.

Don't forget to head over and check out all the other lovely ladies in there fabulous maxi creations.

OOTD

This outfit was from last week, but i felt really unconfident at the time, I was modelling some of my sisters jewellery for her, and wore my yellow shoes to photograph them ready to sell.

But after a few days I have taken a look back at them and I like how i look, and love the dress, which I snapped up in the New Look sale for £12.

This dress is so comfy, the big store in stevenage still has them in the sale so snap one up if you can.

No Idea what I am looking at, but the picture made me smile. 

My fabulous sister has just made me a cuff similar to this one but in silver with green beads, it is divine and I will wear it with an outfit this week to show it off, I am still so so proud of her. xx
