Simply Be Midi Dress OOTD*

Hello I hope you are all having a lovely weekend and enjoying the sunshine (well that is if the sun is shining where you are!!).

As you all know I love my dresses and during the summer months they are my go to outfits to keep me cool and I am always on the lookout for new midi dresses as the length is perfect for me.

The Story of Citrus Dress OOTD

A few months ago I once again took a chance on trying a dress from Modcloth in their latest Stylish Surprise. I paid my money and waited to see what would arrive (I think I am more excited by the element of surprise than the dress!).

This time I got The Story of Citrus Dress which I have since worn to work during the warmer weather.

Feeling Hot Hot Hot OOTD

Hello my lovelies I hope you are managing to stay cool in the hot weather, not easy I know in this heat!

When the mercury rises I tend to reach for loose fitting clothing to keep me cool especially as the office I work in gets very hot and I have to endure bus journeys home from work!

As it was my birthday last month my mother in law very kindly gave me a voucher for Yours Clothing and I headed over to the Merry Hill store and treated myself to a new dress.

Plus 40 Fabulous July Edition

Hello and welcome to the July edition of Plus 40 Fabulous and the theme for this month is holidays!

I have wonderful childhood memories of the family holidays we used to go on which most years were spent at Holimarine in Hopton on Sea Norfolk. As a small child it felt like a magical adventure and the excitement at seeing the entrance gates to the park has stayed with me!

Our days would be spent swimming in the outdoor pool, trips to the beach, pony rides and sessions of crazy golf!! In the evenings we would head off to the club house for the entertainment and then it was a walk back to the chalet with some chips- this was a real treat!!

New Look Cold Shoulder Dress OOTD

Helllooooooooooooooo I'm back after a blogging break- did you miss me?!!!

To get things off to a good start I am collaborating on today's post with the awesome Leah from Just Me Leah.

One of the benefits of having blogger friends is being made aware of bargain sale finds in plus sizes and Leah seems to have a knack for finding some serious bargains which she very kindly shares (seriously she should be on commission!!).

A few months ago she posted a link to a dress that was reduced to £5.50 from New Look and there were quite a few sizes left in the sale so of course I nabbed one (because you know I don't already have enough dresses in my wardrobe!) and I love it!!

A Quick Update

Hello have you missed me? My break from blogging has been a bit longer than intended and rather than bore you all with my written words I recorded a quick YouTube video to explain what has been going on in my life.
