Fatshion Faceoff - Scarf

A Scarf

This weeks selection was made by the lovely Mouna of Brussels Fatshion and we are working with accessories this week namely a Scarf.

Unfortunately I only own one scarf that is for wearing with a dress or top, the rest are really for wearing over a coat, so I have improvised, to show you the reasons why scarves can be a brilliant addition to your wardrobe and why I will soon be adding many more to my collection.

Today I am wearing a lovely dress which I bought from the lovely Kathryn of MissKathryns Miss Takes, It is a a gorgeous spotty dress, the scarf I have is not a good match for this dress and I will be getting a green or black one to wear with it, but I will have to make do with what I have for now. 

Scarves can be a life saver to any outfit, this dress is particularly booby and has a tendency to gape, I wear a vest under this most of the time, but a scarf is a good way to make the dress more work or daytime friendly.

I really would like to find a lovely green scarf which will work well with the green spots.

Well I apologise for the outfit not being fully put together but I am pleased with the look overall and will love it once i have found the right green scarf.

Go check out the other gorgeous ladies in the Fatshion Faceoff crew I am sure the look utterly fabulous as always.

Review - Simply Be 1

Navajo Knitted Shrug Cardigan


Simply Be very kindly offered me the chance to pick three items from the current catalogue for review, I was ridiculously excited!


I wanted to choose three completely different Items one for casual, one for daytime and one for a night out.


The first Item I am going to review for you is my casual choice, I have 2 adult dogs and 2 puppies so spend a lot of time over parks in heavy coats trudging through the mud, but get far too warm in my coats so I was looking for something that would be warm and comfortable.


This is what I ordered - The Navajo Knitted Shrug Cardigan £40

This looked so gorgeous on the model I knew I had to give it a try.

I ordered it in a 22, but I am notorious for believing I am bigger than I am, and probably could have easily got away with a 20, but I love how cosy it feels and know if I needed to be warmer I could fir a knitted jumper under for an extra layer.

The pattern I feel, does make me look bigger than I am, but I just don't care, I popped it over my sheer blouse and a cami top and i was so warm and snuggly.

This Cardigan is going to be a lifesaver when it comes to the christmas shopping as I always get hot and frustrated lugging a big coat everywhere, this is fabulous as I can leave it loos when inside shopping centres but pull it round close when on the high street!

See snuggly and warm! 

And who can resist a swirly item of clothing!

look out for the crazy lady in the park!

And just one more picture as it made me laugh!

yes I am mildly insane! 

My overall verdict of this cardigan is it is lovely, the colours are gorgeous and it feels nice, it isn't itchy, this is very important to me as I can be incredibly fussy about knitwear, if it is even a little scratchy I just cant wear it!


I think for me it is a very useful item, for everyday use, popping to town walking my dogs, shopping and lounging happily at home, and would happily pay the £40, but would order it in a 20. 


please excuse me looking so pale and my extremely bad hair day, sometimes I just like to be as nature intended :)
