Lady V London Wishlist

A little filler post, until I have a day off work to actually do some decent blogging!
Here is another little wishlist from me, this time Lady V London!

First off, we have this absolute stunner of a dress!

Yellow Floral Phoebe Dress


I love the floral print, the yellow would make my hair just POP and I love the cut of this dress. I am a little worried that I would end up with a bum shelf, due to the big bum and hips but you never know until you try!

Leopard Print Medusa Dress

As anyone who knows, that knows me, I'm obsessed with leopard print. Even to the point I have several print tattoos. So this dress is perfect for my tastes!  Although, I'm still hung up on VBO...not quite at the stage of tummy love to accept it quite yet but when I do...or when I'm brave enough, this dress will be mine!

And last but not least,

Japanese Black Floral Phoebe Dress


I love the print on this dress mainly, the purple and orange tones would make room for several accessories choices and again...the cut is amazing.

Rosie Acid Wash Jeans and AX Paris Paisley top

First of all, excuse the very amateur pictures, the weather is very bad and I only have myself and my phone to take pictures with!


So, this is my review of the

Simply Be Denim Rosie Acid Wash Super Skinny Jeans Reg with High Waist

And

AX Paris Paisley Print Cami

 From Simply Be

Lets start with the jeans, shall we?

I got these jeans in the Indigo wash, I've ordered them in the past but they came with a very large tear, so I had to return them! Also, they are not true to sizing. I firstly ordered a size 22, thinking that with the stretch that they would fit well. And they didn't, they would not do up around my stomach, which was such a shame, as I adore the look of these jeans, very 80's! They did fit my legs perfectly, nice and tight and super skinny, which is what I was after. But alas, a size 22 was not meant to be.

So, after the kerfuffle of returning these jeans, I re-ordered a pair and went two sizes up. And they arrived today.

Now, they fit around my bum and waist, which is good.

But, the skinny effect has now disappeared.

They are baggy around the bottom of my legs and also my knees.



I'm starting to come to the conclusion, being a short fat girl, with a big bum and hips but small lower legs, that all my jeans are going to do this to me. I may have to stick with leggings for a skint tight feel!

Lets get to my favourite part of the outfit!

The Cami

I love this top!

It's so silky smooth, hangs nicely below the stomach line, which is usually a must for me but very hard to find, due to the large boobies.

Even pushing the Cami in, under the bust, it sits nice and low and feels so sexy against my skin!

It has a beautiful print, bright and summery.

The Lacy section around the top is very feminine and just adds a little OOMPH to the cami. I think you can dress this up, wear a really nice pair of black skinnys, heels and go out for a night on the town or meal. Or dress down with some shorts and sandals, for a day at the beach or chasing after the kids.


Also, another bonus is that it covers my bum! Not too tight around my hips, which I think would really suit the bigger hipped girls out there.

I've been after this Cami since Curvy Con and I am so glad that I have given in and bought it!

Simply Be Wislist

 
I've recently opened a credit account with Simply Be and as you can imagine, my mind is going wild with all the things that I could get.
Here are a few of the items that are really calling out to me.

First we have the

Threads Split Front Tea Dress

 I adore the colour of this dress and the print, it's very summery and I could imagine myself having cream tea and cakes with friends. I'm not sure on what the material would be like, it seems that it would have little to no stretch, so that is a concern on the sizing, if I do get this. But, I imagine that if I found the right size, I would love it! I adore the little sleeves also!

AX Paris Paisley Print Cami

I tried this on at Simply Be, after the Curvy Convention and I instantly fell in love! I tried on a size 20, which was a little too tight on my chest but it fell beautifully and was long enough to cover all my stomach, always a bonus! I will be ordering this ASAP, in a size 22.

Joe Browns Fleur De Lys Print Dress

This, I saw being tried on at the same day as the Cami above, I didn't get to try it on but I fell in love with the shape, the fall of the skirt and the print! I'm just waiting for it to be in stock again, I will be ordering as soon as it is!

Simply Be Denim Daisy Skinny Jeggings Reg With High Waist

I haven't had the best of luck with Simply Be sizing with jeans but I love the look of these Jeggings. I am hoping with them being jeggings, that the sizing will be more true to size and the colour is gorgeous. I'm trying to avoid black jeans, I have far too many pairs of those!

Introduction

So, this would be my first post on my first blog.
Now I've had semi blogs before, tumblr and all that but never one that's an actual blog...of my posts and not reblogs and reposts and all that jazz. I've also recently gotten into instagram and I believe it's going well! I've met some amazing women in my recent endeavers and I wish to meet more like minded ladies!

I'm actually not quite sure on what to post! I would like this to be about my journey into properly accepting my body and full embracing the love that I feel that all bodies deserve. And maybe some posts about clothes!

Well, maybe I should start by introducing myself?!
I'm Katt, a short fat girl from Brighton who's recently gotten married!
And yes, I will use this opportunity to post a wedding picture.













Now isn't he a handsome mofo?
I love getting tattoo's, it's become quite an addiction of mine and it seems the more I get, the more skin I show off! I have one cat and a snake, I work as a support worker for adults with autism and challenging behaviours and in my spare time I marathon watch movies and devour books or games. I'm very very nerdy and I embrace it! No nerd shame here :3

Now, accepting myself has taken a long time to happen and I am still not quite there. I've had a tough past, anxiety issues (which I still suffer from) and it's a constant battle to put a smile on for people. But, I will never let that stop me and I determined to be all that I can be.

So, I am hoping that sharing my life, my opinions and thoughts with you all, shall open my eyes to more of the world and more of myself.

Enough of the rambling now :3
