I can rock a midi skirt too.

So, it's taken a while, but I've finally found the perfect midi skirt for me. From Topshop of all places, and in the tall section. I have so much love for any shop that is the distributor of clothes for those people who are not of midget height. The one I have on in the photo is a petrol blue color, but thanks to the joys of a small changing room, an iPod camera and Instagram you can't see so well. I also made the bold decision to buy the skirt in black, because let's face it. You can never have too many black skirts.

So, those are the skirts. Topshop £20. 

(Which for Topshop, I thought was quite bargainous!)

The top I have tucked in is from River Island. It's a oversized tshirt. One of my personal favourite styles, because even if you're having a fat day, you have something that doesn't make you feel worse. Well, they don't make me feel worse anyway.

Unfortunately, it's no longer online, so I can't show you the proper picture.

Finally, I completed the outfit with my trusty "leather" jacket. Favourite thing, because it literally goes with everything in my wardrobe. 

Black tights and my black domino converse were my finishing touches.

Hope you like it. 

See, chubby girls can rock bodycon, midi skirts too!

I can hear the bells!

On the 18th August, John and I went to a wedding of someone that he lived with whilst at university. I wasn't really looking forward to it, because I didn't know anyone and John tends to get somewhat drunk and wander off in these kinds of situations.

However, they are a fabulous reason to con John out of buying me a new dress :) and here it is! It cost £68 from a French Connection outlet in the York Designer Outlet Centre. It should have been £170 which made it seem like even more of a reason to make the purchase. It fits really well and ties around the waist so I can have my waist as defined as I desire. To go with the dress I decided on the colour scheme of silver and lilac for my accessories. So, I bought these shoes from Marks and Spencer online:

 

as you can see from the somewhat obvious price tag, they only cost £15! They were kitten heels, which looked perfect under the maxi dress and meant that I could actually walk around!  

Next to show you is my bag, which took ages for me to find and I stumbled upon the bag purely by looking on Google images! The bag is from www.fireflyaccessories.co.uk, it's a cute online shop which sell: silk handbags, shoulder bags, purses, pashminas, etc. Some of their products are Fairtrade too! Which is a bonus! Anyway. the bag was £15, with £1.95 delivery. It wasn't as big as I was expecting, but I could still fit my hipflask in it, so it's all good!

Finally, every (female) wedding guest shouldn't be without their pashmina. I couldn't find a lilac/grey/silver pashmina. So, I bought this one. That sounds like I didn't like the pashmina, which is completely wrong, I love it! It's lilac and pale gold and from Accessorize for £22! It's quite thick, which means I'm going to use it as a scarf in the winter. Just to make sure I've got my monies worth that is!

I thought I'd also include a photo of the finished product along with John looking rather handsome in his Dinner suit!
