Gorgeous Chiffon Jacket from F&F at Tesco's - Plus Size #OOTD

#psbloggers
This gorgeous little chiffon number caught my eye last week on my Christmas food shop @ Tesco's. 

 There was only one on the rail and it was a size L, so I took this as a sign that we were meant to be together.  I was even happier to find that it had been reduced in the sales to £12.00; BONUS

 When I tried it on the first time, I wasn't impressed, but at the time I had made no effort to dress it up. I tried it on over baggy jeans and a slouch top and it did nothing for me...well in fairness, I didn't give the poor thing a chance!  

 With NY fast approaching, I thought I would dress it up a bit to give the item it's chance to shine and my, did it surprise me...
I teamed the Florence +F&F jacket with a pair of dark blue @Primark Skinny jeans which are slightly high-waisted to create a smoother silhouette. These jeans are from the "Pull in, Push up" range which are designed to taper the waist and lift the ass-cheek...winning in my books!  I added a simple black longline vest in size 16 from +H&M and donned my patent nude court shoes from +Dorothy Perkins and a simply drape necklace in gold.








I love this look and I will definitely be rocking it on a night out :)

How would you have styled this jacket?

The Perfect Occasion Maxi from Simply Be

Christmas
I had been eyeing up this gorgeous number in the +Simply Be Catalogue for some time, but at the original price of £95.00 I just could not bring myself to press the "buy" button. 
Then the Christmas fairy sent me a gift... I got a voucher for money off and I managed to nab this number at a discounted price of £76.00 instead!
The colour is somewhere between royal blue and violet.  The top half is lace over a bodice and the skirt has a waterfall drop combined with a lovely embellishment at the middle to bring it all together.

 The material is quite slinky, so I opted for shapewear underneath to hide any lumps/bumps.

 I bought this in a size 20 although I would usually opt for a 22 for comfort and I am glad I didn't to be honest, the 22 would have been too big.  The arms fit nicely and no part feels too fitted,  

 This dress makes me feel glam!

It would be perfect for weddings or the more formal Christmas do's, but unfortunately mine is a casual affair this year and if I wore this I would be extremely overdressed! :(

 Oh well...I will just have to organise an event to wear it to!
