OOTD - The £6 dress

Hey everyone,

Just a quick little outfit that I have been wearing lately. We went to a market a few months ago, and I picked this dress up, for the bargain price of £6! I think it was originally Peacocks? Luckily, the size 20 fit me, as this was the largest size on the stall. It is a little 'snug', but luckily not too snug. I paired it with a chunky knit cardigan I got in the sale at New Look for £10, some plain black leggings, and some tan ankle boots I got from Primark. I love the lace peter pan collar and the fact it's quite casual; ideal for wearing to work!



(Dad took the photos, he told me to 'put my cardigan over my shoulder'... Such an artistic director!)

Simply BEautiful!

I think this time of year is so depressing... Christmas is over, the weather is awful and pretty much everyone is back to work. I thought I would cheer myself up by looking at some gorgeous plus size dresses from Simply Be.













1. Lauren's way chic dress, £60. This is perfect if you work in an office or need to dress up smart for an occasion. I think this dress would look lovely with some brightly coloured tights and some high heels, and maybe some statement jewellery. This dress is also available in red, which would look really glam.


2. Peterpan collar tunic dress, £40. I couldn't not include a peterpan dress! I love the pearl collar on this.



3. Belted shirt dress, £22 (sale) The material on this looks so comfortable! I would wear this shopping in town with some leggings and a pair of flats. Plus it has pockets, which is always a winner with me!


4. 40s floral print tea dress, £31.50. This dress is really pretty, I really like the floral print, and the red colour is gorgeous.




5. 70s jersey shirt dress, £45. I like how you could literally wear this with any shoes! Wear with boots for a casual look, and with heels for a smarter look. If you didn't want to wear the tie belt as a belt, you could use it as a neck tie instead!



6. Anna Scholz 60s print dress, £32, sale. You could literally wear any colour tights with this dress! The gathering at the front is really nice too.


Simply Be really do have some lovely dresses online, all at really reasonable prices, too.
