I love fat face, such lovely quality!

Finally ventured into Forever21 today to check out their plus size section (although I would hesitate at calling it plus size, the sizing is just ridiculous in general in that shop). Picked up this beauty which is just fab on, my new favourite dress ever:

MIN2511

How much was the dress and what sizes do they have? It's pretty

fillefatale

Found my new wardrobe staple in Zara today. Moss green blazer, €60


Pinafore dress, about €50
Had to get a size up in this as it was tight on the bust, but now it doesn't fit as well around the waist. Oh well! Really lovely material and it has pockets!


I got this in a wine colour. Its really comfortable, I love it! Around €25 I think which isn't bad considering Topshop would probably charge €45 for it.


Zara is stocking everything I want in my wardrobe atm, pity this is all I can afford. But the parents generously bought them for me as my Xmas presents.

€23.80 and I'm between a 16 and an 18 and I got a 1XL. The XL sort of fitted as well but it crushed my boobs and sat weird on my hips (i.e. it didn't really fit but with different proportions it might suit someone of the same size as me). It's the kind of dress that's meant to be worn a bit loose in my opinion.

If I were going on my sizing (which changes from shop to shop but I'm comparing it to the sizing in Dorothy Perkins as the best example I can think of) I would say an XL is a 14-16, a 1XL is a 16-18, a 2XL is an 18-20 and a 3XL is a 20-22.

But as someone said in the F21 thread a few weeks ago, it's the kind of place with the sort of sizing that I would recommend trying everything on from the plus size range because I picked up a top that was the same size of my dress and it looked about a 20.

Thanks a million, i'm mostly a 14 but I've got massive boobs(34H) so i always go for 14-16. Was in F21 today, i never go to the Plus size. Would do for this dress

Thanking you

Just bought these on the forever 21 site. Delighted because I had bought them in store but they were a bit tight and when I brought them back there was none left. So yay!!!

GORGEOUS!!! :eek:

Miss Lockhart

I got these recently in Schuh, but I don't know whether to keep them.



I wanted to wear them with a black dress to brighten it up a little. However, I hate my legs, so I really need to wear opaque tights and I'm not sure they will look ok with them.

Acoshla

Miss Lockhart I love them! What about dark black tights or maybe purple or teal tights or something?

Links234

those look gorgeous miss lockhart! and yes, they'd look great with opaque tights

Futurecrook

Totally want dudara and miss lockhart's shoes! So pretty!

Got this on ebay during the week, it's Monsoon in my size so I'm optimistic it'll fit really well. Want it for a friend's wedding next Spring. It looks a bit bridesmaidy in the photo but it's cotton so it should be ok. I hope! What do ye think? I actually have the halterneck version of it too, will have to choose between them.

Got this in A Wear - looks better on than in the pic

Sugarbomb

E.T, that dress is fab. absolutely perfect for a wedding. I love the colour.

E.T.

Thanks Sugarbomb, fingers crossed it fits perfectly now!

Seraphina

new coat!

it actually looks a bit better on me i think as i'm a bit shorter and it gives a proper knee length look which suits it, as it's a fairly chunky wintery coat (the model must be stick thin or wearing nothing underneath!) and the hood/collar is AMAZING, so toasty

also bought some very casual but unbelievably cosy (seriously i'm thinking of throwing out my slippers after trying them on) calf boots which i am now going to refer to as marmite boots because some people seem to HATE them!

marmite boots! (they're actually from blowfish) got them in grey

also picked up some accessories in h&m, most notable being a cute purple knitted tube scarf thing, as well as a very awesome black and grey zebra striped strapless dress which looks unbelievably awesome on me (i actually tried it on for a joke!) and was only a tenner! just been scouring the internet but no pics i'm afraid.

also got some cute check shorts in penneys

i've just realised i bought a load of stuff this weekend and it was mostly black and grey, so much for trying to introduce more colour into my wardrobe!

E.T., I love your dress! The waisted detailing on it reminds me very much of the dress Kate Middleton wore when announcing ehr engagement.

New booties!


Navy blue suede, from Clark's.

Just something for the gym/around the house.




Asos.

XxMCRxBabyxX

Not a purchase yet but a possible one! Just wondering what people's opinions are of this? I love it but it's €45 and as a struggling student I'm not sure it can be justified. I am getting paid 570ish on Friday though...

lizzie09

It looks really lovely, go for it if you can:)

Colour is great.

Stench Blossoms

Got this on Asos.

That is a beautiful dress, and it's very important, that as a student, you look your best!
