Fatshion Faceoff: Denim Skirt

I still remember my first fat-fashionable denim skirt, it was almost a magical moment. With it came my realization that I could dress however I liked; that I wasn't bound by some invisible rules dictated by my body size. It was a fashion revolution!

The humble denim skirt you say??!? Well yes. At the time, everyone was wearing them. Little denim skirts- mini skirts with tights under them. I wanted so badly to wear one. I thought they looked so cute and cool. And then I found one. A mini one! In my size!!!! Fast forward 10 years and here we are! This week's
challenge item is a denim skirt!

Skirt: City Chic

Jumper: Torrid

Tights: We Love Colors (gifted) 

Shoes: Rubi Shoes

So in the spirit of all things fatshion rebellion like, I styled this denim wonder with everything I'm 'not' supposed to wear- mini skirts, horizontal stripes, bold colour and clashy colours! 

I love the ruffles on this skirt- it adds a whole extra level of cheekiness!

With the awesome plus-size denim range available now its easy to get your hands on a cute little versatile piece to love! Here are a few of the denim skirts around at the moment that are catching my fancy!

So what do you think of denim skirts???? 

Winter warmers

We are currently packing up our house for storage and choosing our Europe wardrobe. Being pretty warm over here most of the year round, I have NO WINTER COATS! Sure I've got warm jackets and cardis, but I know these aren't going to be much use to me while we are backpacking around one of the coldest continents in the world (except when we hit all the pubs ;). So I am currently on a winter coat hunt!! These were a few of my favourites: 

I love the classic lines and bright colours of the pink and blue trenches. While a little animal print and fur collar never go astray!

I'm loving this military looking Ellos Jacket I think my favourite jacket of all is this awesome Anna Scholz Feather Jacket. I'm pretty sure it is the coolest jacket I have ever seen and it must be mine!!! :)

Any suggestions from you Europeans out there??????
