Then I realised that that was exactly why I needed to post them.
If I'm honest I'm not the most fashion concious person. I'm not one for spending time on my appearance. Mostly because the way I spend ym time doesn't call for it. My job as a carer means that I have to wear a lot of stuff that I'm prepared to have pulled at, have various bodily fluids splashed on, keep me cool as I rush about in an already warm house, not reveal too much skin, and just be generally practical.
Dang wind!
When I'm not at work I'm basically slobbing out on my pj's. As I tend to work evenings there is little time for me to relax after work before bedtime, so I spend most mornings before work curled up eating toast and watching Steven Universe. On my days off it's Dragon Age marathons.
When I started blogging here I wasn't really sure what I wanted to achieve. I think I just wanted to be another fat body for fellow fat people to see in a positive way. A fat body wearing what they wanted, no matter what fashion media tried to say. Mostly because when I was growing up I had no such thing.
But the fact remains that it's ok if things aren't quite right. This is more of a reflection of me. A little mix of this and that; a cheapy casual top with something a little more expensive in this instance.
I like to shop about and piece together what I can. Sometimes it means forking out a little more, like this adorable Modcloth skirt. Quality fabric in a vivacious red, with a lovely soft white underskirt. The skirt is very full but isn't heavy.
Paired with a cute, and cheap, top from Primark. This is a pretty casual box tee with rolled sleeves. This is actually a size 20 (I'm generally a 24/26 on top) but it's probably meant to be really baggy but if it works, it works. I love the cheesy tattoo flash pattern on it. For a fiver how could I not?!
