Another Month on Instagram

It is FULL of selfies.  For this I make no apologies as if you can't make yourself believe that you look good, you will never believe anyone else.

Fashion, without Limits

Hello all, hope that you are all having a fantastic Bank Holiday weekend and are off out in the sunshine (crosses fingers for sunshine) doing exciting things with people you like and love.

If you have happened across my blog today by intention or by accident, I have to apologise because I'm not here!

For the first Sunday in every month the fantastic FashionWorked website lets me prattle on in my monthly column - The Plus Perspective

Sometimes I talk about fashion, sometimes body image and confidence and sometimes, well it could be anything frankly!  Today I am talking about fashion, without limits.

Taking Shape Tropica Maxi Dress

When I went to visit the Taking Shape Store in Southport a few weeks ago, one of the dresses that I ended up coming away with was the Tropica Maxi Dress  Not only was the dress right on the money for the tropical print, it also gave the illusion when I looked in the mirror that I was taller than I actually am.

This is not to be confused with Jurassic Park and the "dinosaurs are closer than they actually are" mirror sign.  I am not a dinosaur, just a short girl who likes to look tall.

Anyhow....... I was going out for a meal tonight and so decided to take a few pictures and show you what it looks like.  I may take the length up very slightly, not because there is anything wrong with it, but more than I can and will trip over anything remotely near my feet.

Sizing wise I would say that you can probably size down one.  I like to have roominess in my clothes so stayed to my usual.  For height reference with the length of the dress, I am 5ft4.  

As you can see, the neckline has some lovely beading detail which looks like a necklace, hence no need to wear one!  

I wore the dress today with some simple sparkly black flat sandals but you could easily take this dress from day to night by adding jewellery and a pair of heels.

I have a feeling that this is going to be my go to dress for the summer.  What to wear when you have five minutes to get out of the door and still look stylish?  The dress that does it all for you of course!
