That Day | Longline Rose Print Shirt

I recently featured a mustard dress from That Day and it went down a storm with everyone I showed or wore it in front of. That Day is the latest edition to The Brand Edit at Evans and all three of the dress they sent are really very nice.

I have come down to Devon to have a bit of family time and I packed this longline shirt dress as I knew it wouldn't get all creased in my weekend bag and I was right. No matter how scrunched up it gets, it doesn't crease....this is a definite plus if you're like me and detest ironing! I sized up in this style as I normally struggle with shapes like this that have no stretch. I normally wear a 20 but went up to a 24 and this means that the dress doesn't gape open at the buttons and it doesn't cling on my belly - perfect!
I love the design details that make this longline shirt a little different from others. The panel at the back, round neckline and splits at the side make it feel like an expensive garment. I've rolled up the sleeves (like I do with most long sleeve items) but the sleeves are long and you can button them up.

I feel like being in the countryside this week has really inspired my look today! I wore my old tan brogues from Clarks, my mums clutch bag and an old zara necklace which I might just have to nab...do you think she'll notice if it goes missing?!

Lastly, I thought I'd tell you about my new lippy which in no. 512 and from Kiko. I recently popped into one of their stores and they were having a sale so I picked up a few new shades. I've wanted a rich, plummy red for a while and this one is perfect.

Have you bought anything from That Day yet? Happy to see another plus size brand on the market?

My Top 12 Lipsticks

A bold lip is one of my favourite things and I don't feel ready to face the day without a slick of colour on my lips.

I often get asked what my favourite brands are and seeing as I wear so many different colours, I thought I would put a post together to show you all.

Click on the lipsticks and you'll be directed to the correct website. (The only ones you cannot do this for are the Diego Dalla Palma 194 on row 2, Kiko Taupe on row 3 and Makeup Revolution Depraved on row 4)

One thing is for sure....I bloody love a selfie ;)





What do you think? What's your fave colour on me and have I tempted you to try out a new shade/brand?

I just had a gingham-gasm.

Now Matalan has been around for yonks and it is somewhere where I have found some great pieces just on the off chance when I have popped into a store or had a look online. It has a plus size range, which has recently had a facelift but I actually haven't ever bought anything from that range.

This amazing skirt is from their main range and it goes up to a size 20. I am wearing the 20 and I would have actually preferred the 18 as this size is a little too baggy for me on my waist, apart from that the fit is great. This is good news for you ladies who are a 22 who might fancy giving this gem a try. At £18 you can't go wrong. The look, quality, fabric, mesh panel, fit, colour and shape ALL get an A* from me. They now have this skirt in a plain white and pink with mesh panels so go take a peek if they sound like something you'd wear.





I chose to style the skirt with a jumper and shirt as I was actually inspired by how they advertised it on their site. The model is wearing a slouchy grey jumper and a long sleeved white shirt, which hangs out underneath the bottom of the jumper. I have had this skirt hanging in my wardrobe for months and was constantly debating how to style it but I am so glad the picture of their model caught my eye.

The jumper is a really old New Look jumper and the white shirt I am wearing was gifted to me by New Look Inspire recently. I have worn that shirt to death - I love it. The necklace is a recent purchase from Topshop, well my Mum actually bought it for me for a birthday present and the boots are also from Topshop available here. The clutch is an old New Look sale jobby. The grey lippy I am wearing is one of my new spring faves, it's from Kiko and it's such a different colour to my more "normal" shades.



I'm glad I waited with this skirt and found an outfit I really love and didn't just rush to put it on my blog. Sometimes you buy something and you instantly know how you'll style it but with this piece it took me a while but what do you think? Is this a combo you would wear together?
