Weekend Outfit of the Day ft Marisota

Ava By Mark Heyes Lace Trim Jersey Tunic

Hey Everyone!

Today I want to show you how I wore my Marisota jersey tunic when I took it bootsailing at the weekend. 

My first comment would be that I sized up a couple of sizes and it wasn't "baggy" on me which might be something to consider, especially if you carry weight up top. As my shape is completely different to the model above the tunic did end up being a slightly long jumper as opposed to a tunic/dress, but it's still long enough to get away with wearing over leggings. It is slightly longer at the back with a dipped hem and skims over your bum so no need to worry about the see through legging look.



I wore it with a pair of Sainsburys leggings, a primark vest top underneath and plain black Fred Perry shoes. 



The tunic is a really nice fine knit and quite lightweight so definitely one for autumn and then into winter maybe under a coat. It also has a cute black lace stripe down the middle which breaks up the grey and the main fabric looks like a grey marl/tweed print. 




So yeah, basically I really like this top and it's absolutely something I will continue to wear at the weekends over leggings. If you want to check it out yourself or look at the rest of the Ava range by Mark Heyes for Marisota here is the link: Ava by Mark Heyes.

Outfit of the Day - Bootsaling

Hey Everyone!

So to accompany my haul I thought I would do a cheeky outfit of the day post to show you my bootsaling attire. I was thinking about this the other day and my blog used to be full of outfit posts but lately it's been more beauty or just silence (sorryyyyyy).  So I've decided that I want to pull it back round to plus size fashion which is what I love the most and I think is the most useful for my readers who are predominantly plus size too. 

So that said let's get on to the CLOTHES!

I'm wearing a peachy pink dress from New Look which has an elasticated waist and pretty beaded bow detailing. 


I've paired the dress with a cute ivory cardigan (unbranded market one) which has little ruffles down the front with a golden trim. 


Half of the way through my bootsale adventure the heavens opened and it was hoods up and fast trot back to the car, my New Look parka coat did me proud. I love this coat as it's lightweight enough for the end of summer/ beginning of autumn, has lot's of pockets and can be drawn in at the waist to add a bit of shape but I like to wear it bigger and grungy. I'm also wearing my favourite chelsea boots which are hands down the best £9 I ever spent!



This is me with my sister's fancy new bag which I thought was so nice it deserved a picture mention.


I hope you enjoyed this post and thanks for reading. Love Sally X
