Fancy Dress?
It’s that time of year where the phrase ‘Halloween Fancy Dress Party’ fills me with dread. The mere thought of having to find a fancy dress outfit to sufficiently cover my plus size body without my girly parts been on show is enough to make me have a panic attack.
With a fancy dress party just around the corner I decided to have a look at what I could dress up as.
The first place I looked was Lingerieseduction.co.uk. As well as a host of Lingerie sell some amazing fancy dress outfits.

The states have a huge choice of fancy dress in a multitude of sizes. I always find the choice of costumes much larger as well. Roamans.com have over 70 outfits all in Plus Size!
The last site I looked at was largeandlovelyfancydress.co.uk
What do you think? My favourite one is the Wicked one from Roamans....

OOTD
Just a quicky from me tonight as I am having a horrid day.
I picked up this cute swing dress from George for £10!!!
I am loving all the swing dresses that are about at the moment. I have my eye on a black and white heart print one from the G21 range at George! I have a bad addiction to Asda!!!
What I wore -
Dress - George as Asda
Boots - Simply Be
Tights - M&S

The Big Boot Challenge revisited pt2 - Simply Be
After revisiting The Big Boot Challenge a few weeks weeks ago I decided to review a few more pairs of boots to show you some of the choice that are available this year.
The second pair I have to show you is another pair from Simply Be*.
These boots are from the Legroom range and retail at £89.
For this pair of boots I decided to get a leg fitting down and try the Curvy Plus in an E fit. Curvy Plus fits up to 518mm calves.
As you can see on this pair I have less bagging around the ankles and although I would struggle to get a pair of skinny jeans tucked in to these, I actually prefer them.
As with any leather boots they are very stiff and took a few wears before they stopped hurting, but now they fit like a glove.
I will definitely get my wear out of these boots this winter. I never realised how well tan boots go with everything!!!

I Feel Good #2
You know sometimes when you spend ages getting ready for a night out, an event or even just a blog post, and the reflection in mirror isn't what you hoped? This challenge is for those times when you look in the mirror, no pre planning involved, and think "I look good today".We all have our good days and our bad, but this challenge is to record those good days and to remember that confidence, at any size, is beautiful.
The only 'rule' for this challenge is that you shouldn't use any photograph that you have used before. It can be an old photo or a new photo, as long as when you took it, you felt that you looked great.
This photo was taken about 3 years ago. I love my hair and my face on this phone.... just goes to shoe that if you try hard enough you can take the perfect selfie!!! lol

The Big Boot Challenge Revisited - Simply Be
One thing I find extremely difficult to buy is knee boots. Over the last few years more and more brands have taken the plunge and stocked wide and extra wide calf boots.
Last year I was lucky enough to review a variety of different wide calf boots that were on the market.
This winter there seems to be an even wide choice of boots available to women with wide calves.
The first pair that I am looking at are these beauties from Simply Be.
I ordered these boots with the intention of returning them once I had tried them on and taken pictures. However, once I had tried them on it quickly became clear they weren't going to get returned!
I ordered the Extra Curvy Plus in an EEE fitting. The calf sizes on these boots is 556mm, which is 55cm. I ordered the bigger calf fitting with the hope that I could tuck my skinny jeans in to them.
I can easily fit jeans in to them. I could have actually tucked jeans in to the next size down, which fits up to 522mm.
As you can see from the first picture they are slightly baggy around the ankle to that only due to the fact that the EEE fitting is very very generous.
For £65 these boots really are value for money. They look great will dresses, jeggings and skinny jeans.

#WearItYourWay from bonprix
Shortly after Plus North, bonprix contacted me and asked if I would be interested in taking part in a style challenge to promote there #wearityouway campaign.
I love reading these types of posts to see how different bloggers create a outfit from one main item.
Myself, Becky, Betty, Elena and Kaye were all sent this lovely stripy jersey dress to style.
I could have worn this dress a number of ways but I went with classic meets edgy by wearing it with a vintage biker jacket and knee boots.
I ordered the dress in a size 22/24 as its only available in dual sizes and its fit really well and I was quite surprised. The dress retail at £34.99 which is rather high for a jersey dress, but its quite heavy jersey so I think It will keep its shape well.
A big bonus for me is that it has 3/4 sleeves. Which gives me the opportunity to wear it to work and not have to wear a cardigan. The dress also has a cute little coral zip on one of the shoulders.
What I wore...
Dress - bonprix*
Biker Jacket - Vintage via eBay
Leggins - New Look Inspire
Boots - Simply Be
Why not see how the other ladies styled there dress...
