I don't know about anyone else but this festive period has been oddly hectic for me, hence why I'm only sitting down now and doing my Christmas blog!
Given I'm a little tardy to the party I feel it's only fair I go super festive to make up.
I'm so festive I could vomit baubles. Though probably best I don't. Instead I'll just enjoy all the colours.
So Lindy Bop had a sale before Christmas and I took a punt on this top. Mostly because it's the dreaded dual sizing so I wasn't sure if I'd be comfortable.
This top is SO stretchy. I don't think you could go beyond a 26 in it but I fitted comfortably in it. The material isn't too heavy but substantial enough to feel secure in.
A couple of months ago I won a pair of tights from We Love Colours on one of their Instagram competitions. I was super excited because I've been lusting after a pair from them for so long and now I had a chance to pick a pair for FREE!
I opted for a block colour pair in the Kelly Green.
How's that for a splash of colour?! I got these in a size EE, which is the largest size they do. Their sizing chart goes by height and weight but as a rule I get the largest size wherever I shop. I'm a size 26 and these fit perfectly. They are huge. Honestly, I could pull them up right under my boobs and I reckon I could have gotten a little more out of them. Very impressed by the sizing.
What I really loved was how the depth of colour was not compromised by my big legs. On my thigh you can see a thin line. This seems to be where the material slightly changes. It feels a little thinner between the legs, and while I didn't wear them for the full day I could tell they might be an issue, which is a bit of a disaster with the old chub rub so I would highly suggest wearing some little shorts underneath. I know that kind of sucks with tights but I guess if you want longevity out of the product you gotta go what you gotta do.
While the colour is still thick they do still show tattoos so if you're trying to cover up you might want something thicker. You can still see a feint outline of my shin tattoo. But then you could always just distract them with this wild colour, right?!
