ASOS CURVE Wrap Dress With Button Waist

So I bought this dress from ASOS a couple a weeks ago and must say that this is the first item I've returned. The dress looks so good on the model - both in still pictures and on the runway movie. But when I tried it on it felt straight away as a nurse or dental assistant uniform - it didn't have the best fit for my apple shaped body. and the sleeves with their little puff on the top and they were to wide for my taste. I carry most of my weight on my waist and have skinny legs and arms.

The fabric was great though and the color of the dress is great. Stretchy and soft but you can tell my the feel to it that it will survive being washed and still come out like almost new. I ordered it in black and it was a true raven black color.

Well that's about it. I just wanted to share my thoughts on this dress if someone was thinking about googeling it. I will be back in the weekend with some OOTD for you. And I just got the news from my work place that they will be changing our work uniform so I have to show you photos of my uniform - both old and new. I keep saying to myself I will do it next week but never get around too it. Maybe it's because I think that our uniform suck! =0)

Well - have a nice week everyone!

OOTD - Blue Pants... again!

What I wore :

Leopard cardigan - Simply be - old

Blue pants - ASOS Curve - sold out

Black tank top - H&M - old

Black flat shoes - Atmosphere

So I decided to stay in today - the snow has finally gone away but now we have non stop rain. I actually think I like the snow better. But that's what I get for complaining. But that it's okay, I got to spend the day with my boyfriend and pets (I have a a cat and a dog, If I haven't mention it before).

I decided to try my cobalt blue pants from ASOS again. I think I kinda lot my joy from them after seeing the photos I took for a OOTD post back in October - Link to the October OOTD post - I feel like I am trying to hard to hide myself in the photos - therefor the remake or second OOTD with the blue pants. I know - more blue! :)

Excuse the bad lighting - we have about 4 to 6 hours of daylight this time of year and I never seem to be able to take photos at the right time. SO I give you super blitz/flash, red skin and shiny blue pants! But still I like the casual feel to this outfit - the pants aren't hidden away with layers of tank tops and I am shoving more of a figure rather than a pile of clothes. 

Which outfit do you like better - this one or the one from October?

OOTD - ♥

Not that this OOTD is my absolute favorite but I decided too call it ♥ because of the blouse. The blouse I found on eBay and won the action and payed about 6 £ (36 DDK) with shipping which is nothing compared too what I have too pay for clothes in the Faroe Islands. The blouse is by Marks & Spencer and a UK size 20 - I usually buy a size 22 or 24 but in this case I just really wanted it and took a chance - Which I am glad I did now. I am a strong believer of "make it work" when it comes to curves and plus size - rules are meant to be broken!

* Please note that everything is old or thrifted in this OOTD*

What I Wore :

gray leggings - from Zizzi

Black boots - from Evans

skirt - actually a under-dress from ASOS Curve

(came with the lace dress with 3/4 sleeves)

Blouse - Marks & Spencer

Turquoise cardigan - from H&M

Black Jacket - from H&M 

The second two photos made me laugh so loud! Exactly the same pose in both and even the same gangster wannabe look in both of them. You have too excuse me but I forgot to take the photos before going out and had to take them when I got home at 2 in the morning. I went on a double date with my boyfriend, a friend and her boyfriend. We went and got some pizza and then back to their place and watched a movie.

So this was my OOTD from last night. I am thinking about asking a friend of mine to go and watch the new Sherlock Holms movie that is theaters now. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

VISA vs. ASOS

 

   

And as you see my VISA clearly lost! So this has been all the shopping I will be doing this month and next month. But I can say I didn't buy it all at full price - ASOS is having a huge sale so if you dare take a look I highly recommend stopping buy their web page.

I can't wait until everything arrives in the mail - my second Christmas! :o)

Happy New Year!

What I Wore :

Blue dress from ASOS - on sale right now!

Black tights from Yours Clothing

Black Cardigan from South - old

Gold metallic belt from ASOS - on sale!

Gold bead necklace - eBay

Gold bird necklace - eBay

Purse - Christmas gift from my dad

Let's hope it's a great 2012. I have a lot of plans - try to get my nerves together and apply to a school - not that hard. But the fact that it's in another country is hard. I don't want to move but when you live in a country where the population is about 48.000 people you don't have too many educations to choose from.  I want to be better at posting photos on here - I will be better at providing better photos with better lighting. I want to try to wear less black and blue. I am going to clean out my closet! Before the end of February -  now I have a date so I have to stick to it! ;)

What are your plans for the new year?
