Hat C/O The Hut | Dress Zara | Tights Primark | Chelsea Boots Barratts
Autumn is truly upon us, the nights are drawing in, the conkers are starting to fall (albeit ALL OVER our garden – insert angry emoji face here!) and there is a brisk chill in the air that’s making me itch to throw on my tights!
I bought this brown skater style Zara dress from eBay (again, a steal at 99p. I don’t know how I do it either?!) back in the summer months, however it was just too thick a material for me to wear it on those warmer days. So of course with the onset of AW it was time to bring it out from the back of my wardrobe and give it an outing! As a ‘’Curvy Lolita’’ (Yes, I really do refer to myself as that!) I find it really hard to pull certain styles of clothing off. But there is something about the skater style that is very forgiving, more for the fact it hides my hips! It is a really comfy outfit that I could wear shopping in the Christmas run-up or to the office, a versatile piece!

Yeah, that’s right. There are my chunky thighs rocking some shorts. I’m armed with cellulite and I aint’ afraid to use it! Housewives of Atlanta Snap in yo’ face
On a serious note, I wanted to put together a more casual feel for a style post as I generally tend to have a more ‘’put together’’ look. So when the lovely team at The Hut got in touch to let me know they had some samples available to trial I jumped at the chance to take part. I love The Hut as it has some real quality brands that are available at an accessible price. I am regularly going glazy eyed over there promotional emails each week. However, this gorgeous purple t-shirt was perfect for the Festival season. Purple isn’t normally a colour I go for but it is quite a transitional colour in to the Autumn month. Oh, and words cannot describe just how comfy it is to wear? So much so (and strike me down for saying this!) but I can’t help slouch around the house in it because it just so cosy.
My new leather jacket was a purchase from Quiz Clothing when I won my voucher at the Blog Yorkshire Event which you can read all about here! My £50 voucher stretched a long way as I managed to blag this leather jacket which is extremely comfy and not too heavy if I just need a light jacket. I also got two dresses for the pleasure, one of which you can also read about in my blog called Bardot Babe!
My shorts were a little bargain from Primark a few seasons ago & of course my trusty Birkenstocks that I picked up from TK Maxx for £20 are an absolute staple in my life. I’m not quite sure what I’m going to do through the Winter for footwear? I’m not sure I can get away with wearing my fluorescent pink Nikes to the office! So, I’d love to hear from you if you have any footwear suggestions for my poorly feet. I suffer from high in steps and if I wear flat shoes they start to drop and the only way to describe it is excruciating pain! So please do get in touch in the comments below!
Now I hope you have had a lovely fix of my wobbly legs and terrible Gene Simmons impression. Over & out!

HAT C/O THE HUT || JUMPER TOPSHOP || DRESS eBay || SHOES CAMDEN MARKET
When I started to put this outfit together I felt like I was having a ‘’Throwback Thursday’’ moment because it looked like I had just jumped out of the 70’s. Especially the light brown colour of the Topshop netted jumper. I literally cannot wait to wear it at Leeds Festival teamed with a cute pair of shorts!
The dress was a bargain find on eBay and cost me £3.98. I wanted a light cami dress for the Festival and didn’t want to spend a fortune, just in case it get’s ruined.
The shoes are such a delight and from Camden Market. My manager just handed them to me one day ‘You’re a size 5 right?’’ and plonked them on my desk, best boss ever? Yes, I think so!
As a rather larger, busted lady it was nice to wear an outfit that feels like I’m hiding them quite well!
I love to find bargains online & on the high street. All in all this out fit cost me less than £10. It’s not often you can say you have got a whole outfit for under a tenner, is it?
What’s the thriftiest outfit you have ever bought, I’d love to hear!
