On Monday after i got out of hospital and was feeling pretty groggy and sorry for myself, i slipped into the comforting arms of retail therapy, and in the 5 days i hadn't been online i missed some good stuff from New Look
Such as this PVC skirt, now in the picture it looked lovely, i thought great, another trend sorted, i can rock this look come autumn, sadly the reality is much different, the skirt is awful fitting, i sized up to a 22 thinking it might need a bit of room, well i actually had to fight to get into. Then there is the material, its cheap and looks like it would peel off over time, then there is the cut, i know it said skater skirt but this is pretty wide and flares a lot, it does nothing for my hips, in fact in clings to them and makes them look huge, it is also pretty short, i feel like i've made a skirt out of bin bags myself (badly) and put it in, sorry for the scathing review but for £19.99 it really isn't worth it.
I also bought the denim dress, i didn't have much faith in it when i purchased it thinking it would look like a shapeless sack on me, my mother even said the same, but i said i will at least try it and i actually don't think it is that bad! it does need the belt otherwise it is slightly tentish but it actually makes me look like an hourglass which is meant to be a good thing, it will be better for a cooler summer day, it has poppers down the front, which gape a bit but not loads (considering how big my bust is, i sized up to a 22 knowing i would need the space) so i might actually keep this dress as i think its quite nice.
I did also buy a black blazer, i got it in a size 18 as it was the only size left and it actually fits pretty well (better than any others i've tried) so i'm thinking about it while looking for others, sadly no picture as i was so hot i thought i might melt if i put it on.
I also bought a new swimsuit today from Asda which is rather lovely, but i have another two coming so i will do a swimsuit themed posted to review them all together.
