Fat Work Wear Style Round Up: December 2018

December - one of my favourite months of the year, i like all the lights, decorations and the feeling the festive season brings. I also have quite a collection of Christmas print clothes, which i only get to wear at this time of year.

As usual i went on a Christmas Break with Tan to Budapest, which was just as beautiful as the first time we visited.

Here you can see my entire Christmas themed wardrobe...

My Favourite Outfits of 2018

2018 - What a year you've been. I traveled to Vienna, Boulder, Krakow, Japan, Budapest and Denmark. Japan blew my mind, it was just such an amazing place, i hope to write a full blog post on it soon. 

My mental health hit one of the worst lows i've experienced, with my anxiety getting so out of control i could barely leave the house at one point, however with ongoing counselling and CBT i'm ending the year in a better place and with the tools to tackle 2019. I tried dating for the first time in years and actually met someone but sadly that hasn't worked out, trying to maintain a relationship when your MH is in the toilet just doesn't really work. 

I had lots of wonderful days out, attended my first Twinwood, saw some amazing burlesque including Dita Von Teese, saw Drag live including Sasha Velour and Ben De La Creme. Ate lots of lovely afternoon tea's; Christmas Sketch being the pinnacle. 

I fell more in love with the Marvel universe and cinema in general, unleashed my love of Lego (I have the Harry Potter Hogwarts castle to build in 2019), become a Murderino, and showed my dedication to Disney and Harry Potter. 

My fashion hasn't really changed, but i'm buying more key pieces from American Brands such as Pin Up Girl Clothing and Vixen, instead of buying from cheaper fast fashion brands. In 2019, i want to shop less and set myself a monthly clothes budget (let's see how long i stick to that) and shop my wardrobe more, mixing up what i already have. 

And finally i have to say a massive thank you to my two besties, Chez and Tan for coming on lots of adventures with me, being there when i needed you most and just being the most amazing friends a girl could ask for. 

Here are some of my favourite outfits from 2018.....it was really hard to choose

Christmas Afternoon Tea at Sketch

Chez and I love an afternoon tea so we decided on a new Christmas Tradition - Christmas afternoon tea, and where is more extra than Sketch, so this had to the be the place for an inaugural event (you can read about my first trip to Sketch here). Chez's other half Nick and our friend Steph also joined us, which was extra special as we are all going to Vegas together next year for Viva so it was a great chance to plot and plan.

Pink Clove for the holidays

 

After the success of my last bodycon dress, i wanted to push it further when Pink Clove asked if i wanted to review something for them....

Fat Work Wear Style Round Up: November 2018

November was a month of settling back into routine, even though everything was a bit crazy, i came back to work to find my boss has left while i was in Japan and i had to pick everything up, but i rose to the challenge and feel pretty good about that. I travelled to Denmark for work, went to see fantastic Beasts and saw the one and only Dita Von Teese.

Fat Work Wear Style Round Up: September and October 2018

Things have been eerily quiet on the blog and i am sorry for that, i have been in Japan for 3 weeks and in the lead up i was frantically getting ready, meaning i didn't have much time to blog, but i'm back and i'm bringing you a double dose of outfits to catch up!

Fat Work Wear Style Round Up: August 2018

August saw me going to see Ben De La Creme's drag show, go to my first twinwood and actually not go on a summer holiday! Find out what i wore during August below.

London Edge: September 2018

It's that time of year again, London Edge to preview the upcoming A/W collections. I really love this event as it is a great chance to chat to the brands (pester about plus size collections) but also get a sneak peek at the upcoming trends.

The Outfit

I wore my Micheline Pitt Vixen Pink Gingham Bardot dress is a 4x (i need to get it slightly altered in the shoulders) but i absolutely love this dress.

River Island shape my style - Why it's ok to wear bodycon

River Island have recently launched a campaign called "Shape my style". I was thrilled to be asked to review a dress with a focus on finding the best dress for your body shape and wearing it in a way that fits your own unique style.

Fat Work Wear Style Round Up: July 2018

July is the first month since February that i haven't left the country and i stayed put, in all fairness, with the ridiculous heat there was no reason to leave, unless it was to go find ice. July held a Friday the 13th and Christmas in July, i love a good reason to dress up!
