99p Dresses

I have heard of companies using a marketing ploy of seeing off a certain number of dresses at ridiculously cheap prices before but have always been wary.

You see the advert for a 99p dress and immediately think that the quality is going to be terrible, the fit isn’t going to be right and the dress will invariably fall apart in the wash after the first wear.

When I heard that +Yours Clothing  were selling off five different dresses for 99p however, my curiosity was piqued.  I love their clothing, the quality is always good and although I wasn’t sure what the fit would be like, for 99p I was more than willing to give it a go!

I went for the purple dress with the cross over top and full pleated skirt.  It looked like something Marilyn Monroe wore in that infamous scene in The Seven Year Itch and that was more than enough reason to buy it.

The fantastic Debz from WannabePrincess came up with the idea of us all sharing our dresses in the same week, with each dress on a different day: 

Monday 3rd March - Purple Dress

Tuesday 4th March - Black and White Chiffon Dress

Wednesday 5th March - Black Bodycon Dress

Thursday 6th March - Red and Black Dress

Friday 7th March - Polka Dot Dress

Here’s how mine turned out!

The quality of the dress is perfect, silky to the touch and doesn't turn see through when it hits the sun as you can sometimes find with these sorts of dresses.  I love the fit and it will definately be making an appearance on my next night out!

Since the sale I have since seen the dress available to buy for £40.00 so I indeed got an amazing bargain!

Bargain Dress

So, I accidentally bought myself a dress.  I really wasn't intending to as I am trying to be good at the moment (like that is ever going to happen!)

I was looking through Ebay in a bored moment on the bus however and came across this little beauty for the bargain price of £10.50 in an Ebay shop.  It was one of those moments where you don't actually think, you just buy because it is that perfect.

The dress came today and I was very impressed.  I love the blue cherry blossom pattern and the fit is just right for me.  I am wearing it with my favourite red shoes which always brings an added smile to my face.

Have you bought anything from Ebay lately?

A Night at the Oscars

I can't believe that it is the Oscars next week, that seems to have come around so quickly this year!

One of my favourite things about watching the Oscars is seeing the fashion.  I can't even imagine how excited I would be to go to an event like that, especially with all the designers clamoring to dress you and the amazing jewellery you get to wear.  Sadly that is never going to happen for me, but what I thought that I would do was create a dream Oscars look.

Plus size women are scrutinized even more on the red carpet and more often that not are slated in the press for their choices.  I believe that there is absolutely no reason why you can't look like a million dollars, no matter what your size, so here is would be my look.

Dress from Marisota

Jewellery from 77 Diamonds

Shoes - Kurt Geiger

I think this outfit would look amazing on the red carpet and is something I would love to wear.  Sadly I think the diamonds may be out of my reach, but a girl can dream!
