OOTD - Every little helps....GIVEAWAY!

Quick OOTD.

The full outfit, apart from the shoes, is from Clothing at Tesco. I am still having a love affair with Supermarket fashion.

I was lucky enough to be given a voucher to spend on the new True range. I originally bought another top, but swapped it for this one.

I know its not the best picture but the top has tiny little bows on it, it sooooo cute!

And the black skinnies are still available on line! Just a quick note on the jeans, after a few hours they became a bit loose on the backside. If I buy another pair, I will definitely try sizing down!



Jeans - £14
Top - £12
Shoes - £12

The lovely people at CLothing at Tesco have also give me a £25 voucher to give away to one lucky reader.

Just follow the instructions below to be entered.

Curvissa Review and OOTD

The lovely folk at Curvissa recently contacted me and asked me if I would like to review an item from their website.

I could have picked a whole wardrobe full of items but in the end whittled it down to this.

A kangaroo Knitted jumper dress. I love a good jumper dress and this is a totally different style to what I would normally wear.

After I had picked the dress I was slightly sceptical about choosing a jumper when it was cracking the flags outside. But I was worried about nothing. The jumper is more like a thick fine knit.

As always, I team it with a pair of trusty leggings.



I am really glad I picked this jumper. It will last through the winter and would look with a pair of boots too.

OOTD

My sister passed her driving test on Friday so insisted on dragged me every where i didn't want to go.

I decided on a simply outfit. Something that is comfy but looks good too!!!


I love this dress with leggings. I wish I could wear it with tights but its just a tad too short.

Denim Dress - Simply Be
Leggings - Next

I put my mum in charge of taking the photos.....As you can tell she didn't miss her calling in life. I took it at the end of the day and as you can tell, Its a little creased thanks to a little Monkey called Leo who doesn't want to sit still!!

True A/W 12 Plus Size Panel


 True? Whats True I hear you ask.

For those of you that don't know True is the Plus Size Range from Clothing at Tesco.

As with the majority of plus range from a straight company True has often left a lot to be desired. Cut from straight sizes, tent like items, plain jane clothes etc etc. 

But times are a-changing my friends. 

As those of you that attended Plus North will remember the lovely Kim did a small talk about the new range and the future ranges from True.

Would you like a sneak peak?

OK then, here you go!

I love this!!!!!!


Parker £30
Top £12
Jeans £14
Dress £18
Tunic £12.
Jeans £14
Jacket £22
Top £12
 Jeans £14
Tunic £14
Jeans £14

This love this whole outfit too!


Stud Jacket £18
Jeans £14
OK, so now I need your help. I would really love some feedback on the AW preview items.

What do you think of the range?
What is your favourite item?
Will these images encourage you to look at the full range when released?
And finally.... Do you think there is an improvement on previous True ranges.

Keep your eyes peeled for a Tesco related giveaway soon too!

Transition trends from Curvissa

All though the last few days have been glorious, we have to face the fact that unless we have an Indian summer, we have probably seen the best of the hot and sunny weather.

For me this is the worst time of the year to dress for. Still a tad warm for full on winter attire but not warn enough for strappy vests and no tights. So when I received an email from Curvissa this week I was excited to have a look at a few items from the A/W 12 range soon to be launch.



My favourite items are the Cardigan and the Mustard Jacket and the bag, I would love to have them all in my winter wardrobe!

From what I have seen so far, Plus Size brands have really upped the anty this year, and Curvissa is no exception. I could go crazy, and bankrupt, this winter!

What do you think? Do you like the transitional period between season?
