My Sales Picks

For this years sales I am totally and utterly broke! Therefore I thought I would pick some sale items that I am lusting after for you all to see, and dream of winning the lottery for another week!

First up is ASOS

ASOS curve Peplum Top in Tartan £20 was £40

I have a bit of a thing for tartan, but it is never made in plus sizes and while this isn't traditional tartan, I just love it, but kind of wish it was a V neck, I wonder if it can be altered somehow????

ASOS Curve Exclusive Fur Peplum Coat £38 was £85

When I went out with my husband for his christmas party I ended up just taking a shawl as my coats weren't dressy enough, this would have been perfect, I am hoping to get my hands on one before they sell out in my size, as it is fabulous!

ASOS Curve Wiggle Dress in Wallpaper Print £25 was £42

I wasn't sure about this until I saw it on ZeZaftig this morning and she looks amazing in it!

Now I need it!

 ASOS Curve Exclusive Pencil Skirt in Tartan £22.50 was £38

Its tartan! what more is there to say.

Next up is Evans

Collection Navy Boucle Jacket £40 was £80

I have been looking for something smart casual to wear with jeans out to lunch and shopping and I love this, navy is a bit of a love for me!

Swan by Clements Ribeiro Colour Block Doris Dress £30 was £65

I actually already have this dress, and it is only available in a couple of sizes 20 and 22 last time I checked, but it is a beautiful dress that I highly recommend!

Swan by Clements Ribeiro Corsage Embellished Cardigan £30 was £65 and Swan by Clements Ribeiro Lace Grace Dress £20 was £55

This is just such a gorgeous Cardi I love it belted like in the picture above and it would just add a little loveliness to any outfit!

 Swan by Clements Ribeiro Contrast Trim Toggle Coat £60 was £125

This is a bit of a marmite coat, and I never had a chance to try it on, but I can imagine it with lovely thick jumper underneath and walking through the park in it!

Next up is Simply Be

Hush Puppies Lace Boots EE Fit £45 

I adore these boots, and they come in four colours, but the Green is my favourite!

Cropped Floral Print Trousers £20

So many of the girls looked amazing in these trousers last year and I think they would look amazing for the spring!

Printed Peplum Top £18

I also have this top and it is fantastic! but size down, I got it in my usual 20 but think I should have gone for the 18!

Anna Scholz Side Pleat Dress £35

Sometimes we just need a walk on the wild side!

Anna Scholz Crinkle Bird Trim Dress £34

I think this is a fabulous little black dress and would make a great addition to my wardrobe!

and finally New Look

Lovedrobe Black Sequin Rose Jacket £35

Who can say no to a bit of sparkle this would be fabulous with the 

Koko Gold Sequin capped sleeve dress £35

I saw some fabulous ladies in sequins this year and wish I was brave enough to go for it! I do love this one!

Koko Black and White Pearl Trim Peplum Dress £20

I love this dress, so simple but I love the pearls on the neck line, its a good one for work I think!

So thats my picks from the sales, has anything caught your eye?

Simply Be Review - Clothing the Generations

Whilst speaking with Simply Be about there upcoming campaigns the very kindly offered to send myself and my mum something to review each, as part of my posts on plus size retailers who cater to multiple generations of women and do it well.

Simply Be for me are one of the best retailers currently out there who do this well, as I discussed in the previous post HERE, most shops are aimed at a particular customer but with plus size retailers we do not often have the luxury of choice and have to find what we can, and although things are getting better it can still sometimes be a frustration.

But I find simply be offer such a wide variety of options that there really is something for everyone, young old, conservative, wild, funky, you name it you can probably find something and this is a breath of fresh air for most of us.

we decided to order a jacket/ coat each that suited our personalities and styles.

First up my mum, she went for a coat and took it on its first outing to the wedding we attended last week, below is her choice.

Colour block Coat

The colour is stunning, my mum always looks lovely in strong colours! she loved the little PU strips between the blue and black too, when it arrived she fell in love with it.

Mums model pose :) 

She has asked me to tell you that this coat is the snuggliest and most lovely coat, she loves it, it feels amazing and it being machine washable is a huge bonus.

It gets a huge mum thumbs up!

My choice was a jacket, I have been wanting something dressy that I can wear with jeans or dresses on a night out, as soon as I saw the Changes by Together Tailored Jacket I knew I was in love!

Changes by Together Tailored Jacket

I love the sequin embroidery and the classic style of the jacket, it looks gorgeous with jeans and as you can see equally lovely with my dress at the wedding last week.

I am going to find a tailor to take it in a t the side just a little for me as to fit my bust I get left with a bit of space at the waist but it isn't enough to make a huge difference, just for my comfort!

The detail on the jacket is just beautiful, its is totally gorgeous, and while the £99.50 price is quite high the beauty of this jacket means I would pay it and it has so many uses I fell it is worth it.

Simply be have some amazing options at the moment and me and mum can each find so many items that we love.

Thank you to the wonderful Jessica and team. 

Go take a look HERE for yourself!

ASOS Curve Love!

Why oh Why do you make me want so much ASOS

ASOS recently have been drawing me into a shopping lust frenzy, even though there have been a few reports in the blogging world of fitting problems, I really want o get my hands on this little lot and hope they have got it right!

Chiffon Dress With Mesh Neckline in Teal £35

This dress just does it for me, I love the colour, the neckline the length scares me a bit, but I think I would be prepared to brave it!

Exclusive Lace dress with Mesh skirt £60

I actually did a little dance when I saw this come onto the site below are a pair of shoes I have had for age, they aren't to everyones taste, butI have a little obsession with Iron fist shoes and have been looking for the perfect black dress to rock with them. This is it! 

My lush shoes!

Exclusive Navy Midi Dress in Lace £35

I like that this dress is one Navy, Two a decent length and three has see through sleeves which I have a bit of a thing for at the moment, the only bad points for me is it looks far too fitted to me, and it is at a length that on me would probably reach the floor!

Tea Dress With 40's Ruched Waist £40

Love the colour, the shape and the length, it is soooo pretty.

Scatter Sequin Dress £120

This is not my usual like, but it keeps drawing my eye back to it, and making me go ooohhh ahhh.

Exclusive Dress With Full Tutu Skirt £70

So So Pretty, I love a good Tutu!

I am still on the hunt for my perfect party dress, ASOS have many strong contenders, I wonder how they all fit! 

What do you think of the selection above, which dress appeals to you?

I will hopefully get some outfit posts up, but this last few weeks have been exhausting and stressful, and I have been living in scruffy clothes, that are ok to get covered in puppy messes!
