OOTD

So having some time on my hands today, I thought I would spend some pointless time getting ready! I'm going to lunch with a the bessie tomorrow so thought I would prepare my outfit - I think I may have found a winner!









Apologies for the 'Facebook Mirror Pose" but hubby's at work and no one else is around!  

The specs:

Cardigan - Hand me down from my mum
Dress - Forever 21 (Vegas) (last year)
Leggings - Very
Necklace - Forever 21 (Vegas) (last year)
Shoes - Tescos (about 4 years ago!)


Its so hard finding shoes. These shoes are a good example of buying a size bigger in the hopes they fit wider! They fit OK. They do look like my feet are proper squashed in there though! The reason they look good for being 4 years old is because every time I think I'm going to buckle up and wear them, I end up chickening out and wearing one of my old faithful pairs (mainly my black peep toe t-bars). Not a lot of walking involved tomorrow so I may be a (wo)man about it!


I also normally suffer in the boob area - being that I have none! Being a big girl, I was not blessed with the larger chest like many other larger ladies which has its blessings but mainly irritations. For example, most plus size tops are designed for a larger chest so I always end up with a sagging boobage area! Also buying a bra. Most high street shops have my cup but not my size. Vice versa for specialist shops - most have my width but not my cup. I find places like Simply Be are the best for bras, although you cant try them on, I eventually found my comfort zone from a bit of trial and error. Also, my best bra came from Avon. It was the perfect fit, comfy, AND a multiway. I honestly mourned the loss of that one (fell victim to a broken under wire).Anyway, this dress caught me off guard as it is tight in the boob area, mainly because I could of done with a size bigger. So they are really pushed in there! Looks OK standing but sitting - it feels like I could rest many of my chins on them :)
