There are so many ridiculous "rules" us plus size ladies are
told. We can't wear this and we can't wear that, but guess what? We can wear
whatever we like! Amongst those farcical "rules" is the caution of
wearing white or cream. It's true, they are not forgiving shades and will show
everything you've got and more, but there's nothing wrong with that. The only
thing that matters is how you feel in the outfit you've got on, and I felt
great in this cream and black beaut.

These pictures were taken on a not so glorious day,
but the dress is so perfect for spring. Dark colours attract the sun and as someone who
hates to feel overheated, having as many lighter shade items as I can get, is a
must. I also find that lighter shades work so well on those with a darker
complexion and my skin tone seems to magically balance itself out when I'm wearing
brighter colours - a win on all fronts.
Lace can be tricky to work with, but I think the double panel
at the bottom and on the cuff of the sleeves finish off this dress beautifully
and instantly makes it a dress that can be worn for almost any occasion.
Because of the weather, I teamed the dress with my favourite bulky ankle boots
and my gorgeous mermaid necklace from Tatty Devine. For warmer temperatures I
will be swapping my boots for cute flat sandals or kitten heels for a dressier
look, and with a cute dark tone lipstick I really will be ready for dinner with
friends or a trip to the museum.
Can't wear cream? I beg to differ.
'til next time.
Love and hugs,
Isha

ReplyDeleteThanks Vicky! x
DeleteYou look awesome- who ever says fat girls shouldn't wear cream needs a stab in the eye. Unfortunately I really can't- I'm so clumsy I always end up with food or makeup down myself- it's best I stick to patterns and dark colours 😜 they're easier to hide crumbs ha ha ha. I wish I was classy!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I'm clumsy too and was very careful not to spill anything before I took these pictures. I love the dress and can't wait to wear it when it gets warmer. :)
DeleteYou look amazing! Also - if we're not supposed to wear white or cream then my whole wardrobe is wrong ... oops, no one told me that 'rule'. ....
