While in Glasgow yesterday I popped into Forever 21 to have a look at their plus size offerings. I always used to get so confused with the sizing in Forever 21 when they first opened in the UK as they used US sizing which I think is 2 sizes less than ours...I think! Thankfully, however they now have the UK sizing on the labels which makes things much more straight forward. I spotted this checked shirt right away and fell a little bit in love with it before I even tried it on. Annoyingly, I can't find it on the Forever21 website, although there are a couple of similar styles on there. It's a longer length and comes with a skinny belt which makes it a bit quirky and interesting. Today I styled it with some plain black leggings and ankle boots and also popped a vest underneath for a bit of a different look.
I feel a bit of an OOTD fraudster as this isn't very high fashion and I don't have the perfect matching accessories but do you know what, this is real life and this is what I actually wear. Speaking of real life, do you know how hard it is to get up onto one of those ruddy hay bales? Nigh on impossible! The method I used was to take a run at it (whilst trying not to break my ankle in my heels), jump up and then Darren literally manhandled me up onto the blimmin' thing while I shouted "keep pushing!" and flailed my legs around trying to get traction to push myself up...it's all about the glamour over here! Getting down was interesting too...
I hope you enjoyed this kind of post, and while I don't think my invite to LFW will be dropping on the doormat any time soon, I sure did enjoy my little photoshoot!
