Aussie Curves - Black & White

My Black and White for Aussie Curves this week comprises of three different outfits. White is not a colour I wear much of (if it's even a colour?) but I'm slowly trying to integrate purely white and black & white pieces of clothing into my wardrobe.
 
Outfit 1
Junarose Skater dress from ASOS
Op shopped Country road crop
Nena Perrill necklace
Top hat brooch from ASOS
Op shopped belt
TS14+ flats
Outfit 2
Op shopped Zebra top
Op shopped Black shorts
New look shoes from ASOS
Outfit 3
Op shopped polka dot skirt
Op shopped white City Chic top
White op shopped flat sandals

Here's my black & white nail polish I did for this weeks theme and a few accessories I wore with outfit 3.
 
Outfit 1 would have to be my favourite out of the 3 but I need to lose the black leggings underneath I reckon. Here are some other black & white concoctions I've worn in the past:

Aussie Curves - Swimwear

So like most of the other Aussie Curvettes I have been dreading this week a bit and have put it off right till the last day but I don't know why it wasn't that bad at all. 
I didn't own any bathers for this challenge so I ducked into Autograph to get these super comfy bather bottoms which looks like a skirt but has built in bottoms. They set me back $40 (plus 30% off in-store at the moment) but I think they will get some wear this year and will probably last me for ages!
The tankini is by BeMe, was opshopped for $2 and is most likely way too small for the twins but hey it did the job!
I rarely go to the beach or pool. I like water that's for sure but there's the whole bathers in public thing and a slight fear of sharks from watching Jaws when I was young - lame I know. Any swimwear wearing done by me would most likely be done in my courtyard on a hot day, just chillin' and sunbaking out of the sun...yes out of the sun.
I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't take photos with a better background than my courtyard. I don't live near the beach and don't know anyone with a pool so when I was bored I decided to do a dodgy cut and paste pic to make me feel more beachy! LMAO
This has been a really good challenge for me cause it has made me get some actual swimwear instead of wearing and swimming in cut-off jeans like I did last summer at the beach. That was not comfortable or easy to swim in; It was just a bad idea all together.
But now I'm actually looking forward to going the beach which I never thought would happen!
 
Thankyou Aussie Curves!!!!

Aussie Curves - Races

I've been to the races once and I sorta "wasted" that experience if you get my drift... If I went again I think I would be rather happy and comfortable wearing this outfit because this time I would stay classy... well try LOL.

Last weekend I went for a spot of op shopping and found this SWAK dress. I've been following SWAK (which stands for Sealed With A Kiss) for quite awhile on Instagram.
I never dreamt I would come along one of their dresses on my many op shop trips. 
When I saw this label I grabbed hold of the dress and didn't let go. For only $5 I was probably going to buy it whether it fit me or not! I tried it on and it fit, but I did feel a little vulnerable with ALL my curves, especially my love handles shape showing through the dress. However with some shape wear and a few champers at the races I would start to feel a little more comfortable with myself.


I love the top purple bust area, it's so comfortable. The back is gorgeous too (excuse the terrible photo) and it suits me perfectly as it makes my princess tattoo a feature.

Every female is a princess and deserves to be treated like one!

Add the accessories...obviously going with a purple theme here.  A $10 op-shopped Glomesh bag and a $2 fascinator.

 

Chances are I'd end the day like this.. resting my sore blistered feet but getting dressed up and feeling good about myself is always worth it!

Do you have any SWAK clothing?
