Aussie Curves - Boho

Boho...not to be confused with Hobo... Boho is Bohemian... All this makes me think is hippies; it's not really my style but I've decided to give it a go.

Instantly my thoughts were of a brown City Chic top I have, that to me, cries Boho. However I wasn't happy with the skirt for some reason... Maybe not Boho enough?

Next my thought was of a dress that I recently bought from an op shop. Its a dress but I wear it as a skirt. I tend to do that a lot.
It is navy blue with light blue and white tie dyed stripes through it. It is amazingly comfy but I don't really like the hem line as its got four very symmetrically placed longer points that just look very wrong to me but it makes me feel bohemian so I've gone with that and a white City Chic top I've had for a while. Also the necklace is a hand me down from my sis.

So instead of one Boho outfit I've done two half outfits! Do you think my outfits are boho? Or do you think of it differently to me?

Aussie Curves - Valentines Day

I'm still looking for 'Mr Right' or even 'Mr Decent & Interested' so unfortunately Valentines Day doesn't and hasn't ever meant anything to me. 
All that it makes me think of is the colour red and lovehearts. 
So for a Valentines Day themed challenge the obvious colour is red. Im wear a City Chic halter neck dress but because I don't currently own a convertible bra i have just worn it as a skirt. Yes it is an op shop buy, only $10!
The top I'm wearing was only $4 from the op shop and I just love the uneven cropped hem! The bangle is slowly growing on me and it was only $2 so I can't complain but I just can't seem to find a nice plain red bangle that fits my wrists anywhere at the moment. 
The gorgeous red wedged heels by Jo Mercer were also a bargain for $5, opshopped of course. And that's pretty much it from me this week. Have an amazing week and a very special Valentines Day! ❤️❤️❤️

Aussie Curves - Animalistic


It has been a busy week for me. Work is crazy busy and it has been HOT! Not to mention work has no air conditioner!! So the animalistic theme fits right in with how I've been feeling. Hot, crazy, stinky! Lol
So the dress, its the Asos Curve Swing dress in large animal print. When I tried it on I felt a bit like I was wearing a nightie! I don't know why, it could be the cap sleeves but i didn't like it as a one piece. So taking some fashion tips from my 'double take' post i added a black skirt to even out the pattern overload and I love it!
And just to add to it I had a little pink animalistic going on closer to my heart! This beauty was only $25 from city chic and I've nearly worn it every day! How did I ever go without City Chic bras!?!

Aussie Curves - Double Take

The dress: Kaleidoscope print body con dress
Bought from: Targets reasonably new plus size range, Bellecurve.
Price: $30 Boxing day sale
Size: I'm wearing a size 18
* Pictured below with op shopped London Rebel heels


Now this dress can easily be worn as it is but for this challenge I am going to show you two didderent ways you can wear this dress; and this principle really can apply to any dress you own.

Outfit 1 - Wear the dress as a skirt!
This body con dress it tight but not too tight allowing this black $5 op shopped peplum to fit nicely over the top. The gorgeous colours in this kaleidoscope print allows for plenty of different colours you can choose to accessorise with and I've just chosen this bluish/purple necklace I bought for myself from Ts14+ at Christmas time for $15 along with my $5 op shopped Barkins heels to complete the look of Outfit 1.

Outfit 2 - Wear the dress as a top 
 
This body con dress is tight enough to allow another skirt over it creating the illusion that it is actually a top. I've just slipped an op shopped black skirt that set me back $4 over the top, added a $2 op shopped belt and $2 op shopped bangle along with my $5 op shopped Barkins heels again and there you have it. Outfit number 2.
