Rebel, Rebel!


There have been so many examples from my fellow psbloggers that yes, we CAN wear crop tops and rock it! I have an increasing collection of crop tops and my Spring/Summer will be midriff central! Also, this outfit pretty much encompasses most things plus size women are told they shouldn't do:
  • Midriff showing? Check!
  • Tulle to add lots of volume? Check!
  • Cut-off leggings? Check!
  • Chipped nail varnish? Check!
  • Molten dark lipstick? Check!
  • Devil red sunglasses? Check!
  • Zero eff's given? Total check!

Skirt: Simply Be
Crop Top: ASOS
Shrug: eBay
Leggings: South (via Very)
Bag: ASOS^
Boots: Boohoo^
I do love colour and lots of pattern, but I also love to channel my inner goth - and this outfit is a great example of doing goth with patterns. I LOVE this skirt by Simply Be! It may have something to do with polka dots (hehe) and it may also have something to do with the gorgeous tulle layer, but this skirt is so dreamy. It's definitely a dresser skirt, but I wanted an edgy look and something to counteract the sunshine. I paired it with a simple crop top (that I had to amateurishly scoop under my ample breasts because being 5' 1" does not allow much "crop"), cardigan, leggings (that I cut to mid calf), ankle boots, and finished off with a molten dark lipstick. I felt like a Goth princess all day.

Sunglasses: Spitalfields Market
Lipstick: Sleek Makeup (Shade: Cherry)

Oh yeah, I'm definitely a rebel. A rebel with a cause, to show that us plus size women can wear anything we want and look all kinds of awesome while doing so!
There's only one way to end this post. I end with a piece of fabulous street art me and my lovely friend visited on this very day. The ultimate fashion rebel, the wonder that is, Bowie:

'til next time.


Love and hugs,

Success

In the blogger world, success is often in reference to money or exposure. Often these two things go hand-in-hand, in that the more exposure you get the more you are in a position to ask to be paid for your work/ name/ face, etc. Blogging has become a business for many and an aspiration to even more, but are we being realistic? Don't get me wrong, I think it's great to have ambition and to work and strive for a goal or goals, but I also think it's important to be realistic with those goals. There are so many factors that come into trying to make a blog a business. For example, bloggers whom have been able to make their blog their sole source of income are often white, slim/ slim passing, a small fat, able-bodied, cis gendered, and/ or with euro-centric beauty. There are of course other examples that correlate, but that's the starting point. Not every blogger is going to fall into that blueprint, nor should we, but unfortunately we have not yet reached a point where s

Like Royalty

The plus-size world of the vintage persuasions audibly exclaimed when Georgina Horne of Fuller Figure Fuller Bust , announced a range of fabulous dresses she had designed for  Lady Vintage London , called Lady Voluptuous . There are four styles in total with a variety of colours and patterns, and being a 50s bunny who practically lives in swing dresses, I immediately set eyes on the Cosette , particularly after seeing Lucia in it. WOW, right?! But there was another dress that was catching my eye.....enter, the Medusa. The Medusa is another 50s sensation, but a fitted design. I have been hoarding wiggle/ fitted dresses in one of my two wardrobes for a few months now and realised how much I loved my silhouette after wearing this 'out of comfort zone' dress. I'm naturally an incredibly curvy (I know many hate that term, but I know what I mean) woman, but I have often avoided dresses like this through fear of the VBO; but during my continued journey to self-love a

To Be Visible: Why Minorities Are Still Left Out In The Shade

Foreword: This post has been a few months in the making and I actually submitted this as a piece for a magazine; although it wasn't picked up, it was still a topic I very much wanted to discuss. It hadn't been talked about in so long so I wanted to bring it back to the forefront of everyone's mind, but then boom, suddenly everyone was talking and posting about it and I felt a little deflated. I thought about not posting any longer as I felt others would inevitably write the piece better, but then I thought "my opinion is just as valid as others", so here I am contributing my two-cents. Please note that this isn't attacking anyone, but I really think it's important to not be afraid of having uncomfortable conversations like this as it's the only way things will change. This also isn't going to read as a magazine article as I'm not a journalist and thus, do not wrote that way. It's not a style of writing I personally enjoy reading
