Outfit Week: City of Trees

A nice casual end to outfit week with this adorable t-shirt from Myprettyplus.


It may look like I'm in a park somewhere, but I'm actually standing on a divider in the middle of a busy road. Halifax is nicknamed the City of Trees because its streets are filled with trees that lean over the roads and make green tunnels to drive down. It's one of my favourite things about living here, so I wanted to take some outfit pictures under them to show you.


T-shirt - Myprettyplus // Shorts - Citychic // Flats - Peacocks
Onto the outfit. This t-shirt is made of such a lovely fabric, it is so soft, a dream to wear and hangs well. The pictures don't do a great job of showing it, but there are little black sparkles glued to some of the perfume bottles, and little bows too. They are subtle and adorable and make me happy.


These are my favourite flats at the moment - they are shimmery gold cinderella slippers that I got in the christmas sales for £4 when I was home in the UK.


I really hope you've enjoyed outfit week. I've had a lot of fun and I couldn't have asked for better weather. Posts will be a little more sporadic after this, but I have a giveaway to announce on Monday and an outfit challenge that I'll be participating in with some other blogs so it shouldn't be too quiet around here.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone,
Much love!

Outfit Week: Bodycon Blue

Outfit week continues and today I'm wearing a blue lace bodycon dress from Myprettyplus.


Heels - Evans // Dress - Myprettyplus
I love the colour, I've always been a fan of bright shades of blue and it's rare to see brightly coloured lace in plus sizes where everything is usually black.

The fit is fine, although I found it a little roomy around the bust. It was bunching up a lot around there for me, which isn't a huge problem, I'd just rather it didn't. A lot of the time bodycon dresses feel too clingy and the skirt rides up a lot, but this one hangs nicely and I don't feel self-conscious in it at all. I have a bit of a tummy outline in it, but meh. Fat girls have tummies, deal with it.


I don't know why I look like I'm in a mood in these pics.

What do you guys think of the coloured lace?

More tomorrow,

Outfit Week: Beach Day Bliss

Monday was Victoria Day in Canada. That means a day off work and, if you're very lucky, a trip to the beach to dip your toes in the water.


Dress - Myprettyplus // Tank top - Old Navy // Leggings - Yours Clothing
This dress is one of the items Myprettyplus sent for me to review.

I ordered a size up because things with buttons up the front are my nemesis. Even so, the buttons are tight across my bust. Instead of worrying about gaping buttons, I decided to put a white tank top underneath it and just have the top unbuttoned. I like the quirky blue chili pepper print and I LOVE the embroidered bib at the back (see picture below). The assymetric hem is really nice and floaty, especially on the beach when the breeze catches it.

Amazingly, this exact dress is available at New Look right now for £36. From Myprettyplus it costs only £24.99. (It is definitely the same one because they both say "Koko" on the label.) Bargain!


So cute, right? ('scuse the beach hair)


Did you do anything for Victoria day or was it just a normal Monday for you?

That's all for today, back tomorrow!

Outfit Week: No Safety Net

Outfit week continues and today I'm reviewing a coral and lace dress from Myprettyplus.


Dress - Myprettyplus // Heels - Evans
Apologies for photographing this in front of my bookshelf but I wore it at night so the balcony wasn't really an option.

My first instinct when I put on this dress was to think about what leggings or belts or blazers I wanted to pair it with. Sometimes I use accessories as a bit of a safety net when it comes to my outfits, I'm self-conscious about wearing dresses on their own. So today I thought I would leave my fears behind and just wear this bodycon lace number completely solo. I love the mixture of the coral colour and the lace, I don't think it really needs anything else with it.


The colour came out looking much more pink in the pictures, but in person the tone is slightly more orangey.

The dress itself is perfect. The coral part is made from a really soft fabric that feels lovely and isn't too clingy. Lace can sometimes be itchy, but the lace part on this dress isn't at all. If I could make the neckline a little lower or change it to a v-neck I would, but that's the only thing I'd change.


Do you ever wear dresses on their own?
Or do you think an outfit isn't complete until you've accessorized it?

More to come tomorrow,
