Compared.



New clothes bought,
Put them on,
Doesn't fit as well,
As it did on the model.
The top is creased,
Bottom too short,
Sticks to your leg.
Stare at the model, 
With the perfect skin
And the 'correct' figure,
Beach body ready,
Unlike me.

Take off the clothes,
Chuck them down,
Go to your wardrobe,
And find your favourite
dress that you have 
always had.
Put it on and feel
Like no one could 
Ever touch you,
For you are so powerful
With your beauty and
Your perfect figure and
Beach Body. 
Curvy. Slim. 'Plus sized'.
Your own.

Your own figure.
Your own person.
Your own beach body.
Your own perfect.
Your own. Be proud.
Love it. 
It's the only on you have.

3 Ways To Rock A Yellow Coat // Unpaid Ad

I have never been a particularly bold person. Jeans and a t-shirt are my go to outfit and I use makeup to make it look better. However, lately, I bought a yellow coat from Regatta. It is my favorite piece of clothing and I wear it everywhere. It is quite baggy and hides a bit of your figure, but not a lot and also, it's nice when you take it off because it is saying "here is the rest of my lovely outfit"! Here are some ways I wear my yellow coat whilst trying to make my outfit a bit bold. 



Dungarees, Concert T-shirt, and Glasses

Recently, I got some new glasses, which make me feel slightly vogue and very intelligent. Wearing them tops off a look, even if they are meant for reading! I like to wear a baggy concert t-shirt, like my 'The 1975' shirt, with some dungarees, which are not too tight and just the right size to walk around college in. They are shorts but do not show too much leg and also show a bit of my figure. With a yellow coat on, it makes me feel very indie, even though I am definitely not indie!



Skater Dress

I bought a dress off of Boohoo a few years ago and it still fits just about. It is tight at the top and flows out into a skater skirt. This could be worn with a long cardigan or, as I say, my yellow coat. It is burgundy and goes well with the yellow. As it is still a little bit chilly, I style it with either a hoodie or my Hollister cardigan which is lovely and I got it from a charity shop!



Skinny top, Jeans and a Hoodie

Although the hoodie is baggier, the top tucked into jeans shows my figure well and as the jeans are high waisted jeans, the top tucks well into it. You can wear brown Chelsea boots with this or I like to wear my new Adidas Gazelles with the jeans rolled up.




I was inspired step out of my comfort zone by Dia & Co. They are a plus sized clothing company (I am not plus sized but I would fit some stuff) and they do boxes of clothing which you don't see until you get the bix, meaning you try new things. You select your style and sizes etc and they send you a lovey box of goodies. It really is worth taking a look on their website. You can also find them on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and YouTube. I would have never thought to do this type of post and really I have never had the confidence to. But I loved it!


I hope you liked this slightly different post. The idea and post was thought up by myself, I have just been prompted to make a fashion type post by the company. I enjoyed writing this one, so I hope you enjoyed!
