Why strike me down...

...Evans has a sexy dress.

I am in shock. 

Check out all of Evans dresses.  There is actually a small collection of cute and flattering dresses!  Is Evans taking tips from *Igigi?  Or has Trinny and Susannah's undress the nation programme shown them that they need to be better?

I can't get over that Rose Print Dress!  Next month one of my bestest friends in the whole world is getting married, so I may go to Evans for a dress!  As much as I love the Rose Print Dress, I am not sure it will suit me, but I shall certainly try it on to see!

*Speaking of Igigi, check out their new range of work wear.  I'm loving Jackie Dress and the Jumper Dress they are so cool!

Online window shopping...

Its less than five days since I got paid and I am already fretting about my finances this month, there is lots to pay for and many expensive social events planned for august, which sadly means that this month I'll have to watch every penny and not purchase a single item of clothing.  Poopy :(

Of course a girl can dream though can't she?  And one can definitely window shop and plan how to spend the bulk of Septembers pay...

Anyway at the moment I have my eye on this dress...  Me wants it!  At the moment I'm keen to smarten up my wardrobe and this dress would be fab for work and wearing over trousers too when it gets colder.

Also I wanted to say thanks to Andrea who sent me a link to EmeraldAngel, they sell some gorgeous alternative pieces and are open to commissions she tells me...  I'm loving their retro and skull print tops!

Finally I thought I would give a little shout out about Yours, some of the clothes Yours sell are a little mumsy for my taste, but they do also have lots and lots of far cuter and fashionable clothes and I can't fault them on price especially when compared to Evans or Simply Be, you are certainly not getting ripped off for being plus sized by Yours...  I'm very much considering purchasing this little skirt in September as part of my effort to smarten up my clothes :)

Anyway thats my window shopping for now, roll on September pay day!

Gimme that Now!

I don't know if my obession with clothes is fully realised by all who read here.

Truth is I spend a lot of time on the web looking a pretty plus size clothes, say about 50% of all the time I spend online involves looking at clothes...  But when I am sat here in the morning eating toast with my tea rousing me into consciousness, I need something light like clothes to get my brain working.

Here's what I found this morning.

I love cherry prints so this adorable hoodie at Torrid made me smile with glee!  I also really want this top by Tripp at Torrid.

Got an email this today from the lovely Ozlem at Igigi who sent me a sneak preview of what you'll be able to get from Igigi from May - all of the dresses are beautiful!  In October one of my best friends is getting married and ideally I would love to have made some headway with my weightloss by then.  However if losing more weight continues to be tricky, I know with 100% certainity that I will be buying something to wear from Igigi, which at the moment could be this, or that or even this dress...

Anyway thats my mindless rambling and clothes fantasies for now...
