It's
always a good sign when brands branch out and create a plus size line, but it
really can go one of two ways. Thankfully, Missguided have gone the right way with their very first plus size collection from last year which had many plus size babes,
including me, with a extensive list of items in their virtual shopping bag. I
ordered this fab two-piece.
Boots: Simply Be^
Now,
the problem with being pixie height is that crop tops are very rarely that. I
don't have a long body and thus, crop tops are often mid torso on me. This was
the case with Missguided's crop top but I didn't let that deter me as I still think
the look works with me tucking the top into the skirt. It gives the illusion of
a dress and still looks great with the chunky boots I chose to finish the look off with. Missguided's sizing is very generous and I could
have easily sized downed, particularly with the skirt, and being 95% Polyester make both items very stretchy and accommodating.
I love
the literal splashes of colour on this two-piece, and the colours work so well
with my skin tone and gives a really good balance. I've worn these pieces in
various versions as single items which goes to show that despite the array of
colours, they still work incredibly well on their own. I love that the top has
sleeves long enough not to need a cardigan and with it being spring, this will
look great with so many of my bright and colourful skirts.
It's clear that Missguided are on the right track and creating plus size collections that are fashion forward,
affordable and versatile. Long may it continue.
'til
next time!
Love
and hugs,

I always forget about places like Missguided. The colours look amazing on you!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. There is slowly but surely an increase of brands expanding to plus size items. I really love the Missguided range and there are a few items on sale now. :) x
DeleteI love this on you, you're right the colours are so great and I like that they can be picked out and matched with other items. Very versatile. I actually like the illusion of a dress rather than a 2 piece,but then I'm not much of a crop top fan.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love the colours too and these items are so great for any time of the years with mixing in other things. I think the skirt will get a lot of use as the temperature heats up. :) x
DeleteLooks fantastic on you! The colours are great for transitioning and love the length of the skirt!

Thank you! Yes, the skirt is a gem and Missguided really did well with their first plus size collection. I hope there is another one on the pipeline soon. :) xx
