OOTD - So Fabulous Floral Swing Dress.

I have sat here for about 15 minutes since writing this trying (and failing miserably) to come up with a catchy title for this post... with inspiration refusing point blank to strike I've gone with boring but factual - sorry about that!

It's not going to win any high fashion awards, it's probably a a little dull by some standards but it's me, it's my very first OOTD on here and I'm a little bit proud. Excuse the slight awkwardness (Tess Munster has very little to worry about) but this is the first time I've posed (sober) for a photo for a long time. As I mentioned before, I'm usually the one taking the photos, not being in them. My lovely husband was drafted in to be the David Bailey and we were both trying to keep on eye on the loony dog who was tearing around the garden at top speed so a relaxing photo shoot it was not.

Dress from Littlewoods: here Comes up pretty generous. I'm in a 22 and I probably could have got away with a 20 and trust me, I am NOT a size 20 or 22!

Leggings old F&F at Tesco - I do love their leggings, they're cheap at £5.00 a pair and they're nice and snug at the ankle. They come up big, I'm in an 18 here.

Bangles old Primark.

Necklace old Next.

Birkenstocks here from Schuh, reduced to £34.99 but only size 4 left on that site.

Hair flower Asos, sold out but this one is very similar.

Sunglasses are my precious Prada and make me feel like a film star every time I wear them (dahling), old now, had them about 3 years.

I love this dress, it's super comfortable and boasts the Fat Woman Favourite - pockets. There's no zips or buttons, just slips on over the head. As said above, runs large to size so definitely size down 1 or 2 if you prefer a snugger fit. It looks black at first glance but it's actually a very dark navy blue. For reference I'm a midget sized 5'4" and it sits just below my knees. I'd actually rather it were a bit shorter but that's a problem I have with a lot of dresses.

I recently bought this jacket and would wear this over the dress in winter, maybe adding a chunky scarf and some biker style ankle boots. 

Oh, almost forgot ;-) toe nails re-done in a much more appropriate-for-me shade:

This is OPI "You Only Live Twice", a lovely, sparkly pinky-red. I do love OPI polishes, they're slightly expensive but unlike some other high end brands (<cough> Nails Inc <cough>) they're worth every penny. 

Thanks for reading. P xxx
