School clothes

Hey guys,
Finally back! So, I had to get some work wear outfits for school this year and it was an absolute nightmare!
I tried everywhere, Matalan, Debenhams, Asda, Evans, Newlook, Dorothy Perkins. You name it, I went there.

I finally bought this:

It goes up to a size 22 I think. Now, I'm an 18 right now but I had to buy a size 22 jacket, and a size 18 skirt, so was obviously a bit annoyed at having to repeatedly try on clothes. The skirt looks great but I had to have it shortened because I am 17 not 60. The arms are a bit long as well so I might try and get them shortened at some point. I also bought two blouses from Matalan

Right, I'm back...

I had my last exam today so I am now officially, back for good.

I thought I'd discuss wide-fit shoes today because I always have to buy size 7 when I'm a size 6 because my feet are a bit wide. I rest all on the sides of my feet so shows get absolutely destroyed!

Now, I'm quite funny about shopping in certain shops, I don't look into Marks and spencers because I always find them really old fashioned, but I recently bought a pair of schoolshoes from there:

Now, I know these aren't exactly stylish, but to be honest I was desperate and I needed something stronger than my usual pumps. They were quite expensive compared to what I normally wear (£35) and, rather annoyingly for me, they are now selling at 20% off.

New look -

They now have a huge selection of wide fit shoes/ ankle boots/ sandals/ smart flats/ heels/court shoes/ high boots and casual flats:

All of these are Wide-fit shoes and are under £20. Obviously the wide-fit shoe range is not as large ad the standard shoes but with a doubt these are pretty, cheap and good quality!

Evans: I know that Evans doesn't seem like a typical choice for young girls or women etc, but they do have some lovely shoes:

These coral ones are £19.50 and they are really pretty. In fairness you just have to look around but these shops should point you in the right direction to having fabulous feet!

What I wore today...

Skirt- £30 Red Herring @ Debenhams

Top- £11 NewLook Inspire

Tights- Primark

Nail Varnish- both Barry M

Ring- H&M

My Asos skirt-

This is my Asos skirt, obviously. I <3 it. One day, when I've worn it lots, i'll sleep in it for sure.

My shopping wish list -

• Block heels- this is more of a need, they'll go with everything
• A playsuit
• lots of rings, or just this one:

I'll do a post on wide-fit shoes after my last exam on Thursday, I'll have lots more time then!

Underwear

I know that it can be hard to buy pretty underwear if you are bigger than the average size. I have a 42DD bust so it is difficult in certain shops.

Asda do some really nice bras. They do sizes 34A- 34G. The biggest back size and cup size is a 42E, so they have a massive range. The only thing is that not every bra comes in all the sizes.

I have these two :

They fit really well and were only £6. All their knickers go up to size 20 as well so you can get matching sets.

In another post I'll talk about Underwear in other shops as well.

H&M

H&M, whose website is still fairly new, do cater for larger sizes via several ways.

Firstly, they have a plus size range- BiB, which sells sizes 18-28. I haven't bought anything from this range but I am looking at this shirt:

I won't buy it but it looks nice as its sightly flared which means it'll skim over lumps. The BiB section has trousers, shorts, top and dresses for sale from about £5, which is very reasonable. It is still quite a small selection considering the size of their standard size 6-16 ranges, but I'm sure over time H&M will add more products with demand.

They also have a Divided range which is aimed at older teens. They have brilliant shirts and vests for as little as £2. They are great quality and, even though the label says 16, I always buy them. They sell some of their Ladies clothes in sizes 6-28, but you have to have a bit of a look through. The dress I mentioned before from H&M was actually a size 24, but I'm an 18/20 so their sizes are off in this section. It is really pretty though and I'm so pleased I bought it.

So I suggest you look around on the site and in store and ALWAYS try stuff on.
