The one about the WE LOVE COLORS tights!

I received a pair of these awesome We Love Colors Plus Sized Nylon/Lycra tights in Teal two days ago and it made me SOOooo happy! I love tights and leggings, especially opaque ones and brightly coloured ones!

I’m 1.53m and usually wear a UK16. The tights I got were in size A/B and fit really great! They were also soft to touch and really stretchy! I love the richness of the colour and that they also have such a great range. Unfortunately, because I’m so short, it comes all the way up to under my boobs!!

What I’m wearing today:

Top: Black sleeveless lace top with peplum from NEW LOOK; Black camisole from MARKS & SPENCER

Accessories: Vintage teal and gold necklace from SELECT 18 (Soho, Hong Kong)
Bottom: Grey jersey stretch mini skirt from NEW LOOK

Leggings: Teal opaque tights from WE LOVE COLORS

Footwear: Black loafers from STEVE MADDEN

Posted in Fat-shionista, What The Frock Wednesdays

Fat-shionista #416

Hello! I’m blogging from Melbourne, Australia! Yoohoooo! (Have iPhone & Internet access will travel)

I arrived yesterday morning and there are 8 of us sharing a 2 bedroom service apartment in the heart of Chinatown. Great location, super clean, safe and awesome facilities. A little stretched for space (only 1 bathroom) because there are so many of us but it has been really fun! I highly recommend The Paramount Apartment on Exhibition Street. It’s a bit pricey – over AUD3000 for 7 days but well worth what we paid since there are 8 of us sharing. I’d gladly pay another AUD20 more a day!

So it’s another WHAT THE FROCK WEDNESDAY! It’s been nice and cold so I needed to bundle up. Dresses that I own are normally for tropical Singapore weather so this is a little hard to do but I’m doing ok so far.

What I’m wearing today:

Dress: Purple & Yellow ric-rac dress from Ms. Tips on etsy

Inner wear: Black long sleeved heat tech v-neck top from Uniqlo

Accessories: Paperplane brooch from Macaroon at Far East Plaza

Leggings: Black opaque stockings from Dorothy Perkins

Outerwear: Black bomber jacket from Ted Baker

Footwear: Dracula vs Frankenstein Mary Janes from Em & Sprout on etsy

Thanks little Nat for taking these pictures on the balcony of our service apartment!

As I predicted, the days leading up to my holiday have been damn bloody busy ones. Partly because I’m trying to finish as much work as I can and hand over stuff to other colleagues so that I can go on Leave in peace. So anyway, I bought a bunch of new stuff from ASOS (I love sale items and free international shipping!). This dress is one of them. Love this to bits.

This is what I wore on Monday 12 December:

Dress: Printed Shift Dress with high cut neck from ASOS

Accessories: Big pink plastic bangle from SONIA RYKIEL for H&M; Silver “pretzel” brooch from Monet (vintage off eBay)

Footwear: Black flats from GEOX
