Fatshion Faceoff - Neon Accessory

Neon Accessory 

THis weeks Fatshion Faceoff has been chosen by the gorgeous LuAnne of Weesha's World.
Neon is not something I would normally wear even as an accessory it just scares me a little bit, I was tempted to entertain your all and change my dads tyre in one of his fluorescent vests and do a bit of roadside chic! but instead I popped out to the shops and looked for something in neon that didn't terrify me too much, there was so much tut in the shops it was scary but in the end I settled for a simply neon yellow necklace from Accessorize which set me back a whopping £1 and a bag and a clutch bag form Newlook in the sale for £8.

I am surprised to say that I would use both of these items again, I think the bag could be fab for jazzing up a plain office outfit with a little dazzle of colour!  The necklace is so simply that even though it is so bright it could go with lots of my clothing.

My phone can't pick up the main colour very well in this image but it isn't as grey as it looks its more stone I cant find this one in this colour online, but they have a black and pink version which is still full price available HERE

I teamed it with my trusty Newlook blue dress from last winter as it was a bit chilly out there and my heeled shoes for a night out!

The pink is looking really washed out in the screen but it is very bright just like the picture above!

So how brave are you, do you love neon and wear it often, accessorise are a good way of trying new trends without committing to expensive statement pieces that might frighten you into not wearing them at all!

Go check out the other wonderful ladies this week and see how their takes on Neon worked out!

Emerald Dreams

Green, Green, Green!!!

It is one of those colours that people seem to either love or hate, personally I LOVE it, It suits my complexion and my hair colour and i find it such a rich sexy colour.

I own quite a bit of green clothing and have more on its way, but after seeing it on the red carpets of the Peoples Choice Awards and Critics Choice Awards on both Emma Stone and Nina Dobrev, I wanted to look at the options out there for plus size women.

Below are the items I liked the most, In a selection of different shades of green.






Ava Dress - Pinup Girl Clothing
Teal crossover top - Evans
Nicole Dress in Parisian Green - IGIGI
Green Gingham playsuit - Asos Curve
Khaki Trousers - Dorothy Perkins
Green Wedges - Dorothy Perkins
Studded Clutch - Dorothy Perkins

I love green in almost all its forms but especially teal and dark forest green, but this year I may try something a bit brighter, The Ava must be mine.

Is green for you, do you love it or loath it?

I will be blogging over the weekend with the start of my Coat reviews so come back and check them out. xxx
