Plus Size OOTD | Midi Dress and Bow Belt

<div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">We have discussed it before but I am plus size. Fat, chubby, cuddly, bigger boned, call it what you like, the fact of the matter is I am a size 18 and feel relatively alright about this. As that lovable rouge Honey Boo Boo (google her) would say, 'I'm size CUTE' hahaha.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Lately I have been buying, wearing and LOVING midi length clothes. I find them to be so flattering and so comfortable (no worrying about thigh cellulite showing for me!) and also I find that I feel quite confident in them in a, 'I don't need to show off all my flesh to be sexy or attractive' way. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj68qf-83SAqLtUoOUGwKR1rFt6kLcFdi8kp7qrRS-MDdFSaHQ_xd6Ao7uH1yulnk-3DNN7ho9IeBFHQcKdUQyqsZRTL9TRtBRIsqse7WS1qHuTLYB-L44UxmqRSAJCPV9huuLWzIhXzM5A/s1600/Midi+OOTD.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Plus Size Midi Dress" border="0" height="524" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj68qf-83SAqLtUoOUGwKR1rFt6kLcFdi8kp7qrRS-MDdFSaHQ_xd6Ao7uH1yulnk-3DNN7ho9IeBFHQcKdUQyqsZRTL9TRtBRIsqse7WS1qHuTLYB-L44UxmqRSAJCPV9huuLWzIhXzM5A/s640/Midi+OOTD.jpg" title="Plus Size Midi Dress" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht2WyAvWAle37aWaGoXsdeIYvsAzSg8sAOU4FnMYYPod_nNypmqWSg7wXH9iVMENltYo4TGU7BtoFshMd30_LD3DYrYRYPW-jS2X1Od42XeNdZA1b48YmqpCqmevIyGQqDqOHWmsCSctfp/s1600/midi00td2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Plus Size Midi Dress" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht2WyAvWAle37aWaGoXsdeIYvsAzSg8sAOU4FnMYYPod_nNypmqWSg7wXH9iVMENltYo4TGU7BtoFshMd30_LD3DYrYRYPW-jS2X1Od42XeNdZA1b48YmqpCqmevIyGQqDqOHWmsCSctfp/s640/midi00td2.jpg" title="Plus Size Midi Dress" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji7_SaqcDNUVgy0uIPd8Sn7QDzYgT43FBlCJ01H_GzNssrj4gnCNu2Fj-G6-rJ4z9d3U4znHCljUkHfKTOCS8VeSFFhvBEPhZSS_N4JmHwljMzOHnZsUOwXMhuHPDcvJfCXwNIaS9IqlqD/s1600/midiootd3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Plus Size Midi Dress" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji7_SaqcDNUVgy0uIPd8Sn7QDzYgT43FBlCJ01H_GzNssrj4gnCNu2Fj-G6-rJ4z9d3U4znHCljUkHfKTOCS8VeSFFhvBEPhZSS_N4JmHwljMzOHnZsUOwXMhuHPDcvJfCXwNIaS9IqlqD/s640/midiootd3.jpg" title="Plus Size Midi Dress" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ5kmADz_5I8ysBc_r410JSPjxBitRxlTAq17mIFskhAGETAleSZl9mmiXbwoURosdEbSPq4dL3IzvXOtfH-8LPZT_U9sD2YzP5FHIeIjlztRpg-ZOREl8Zza74GKjQvV3jVIEMGouiFlE/s1600/midiootd4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Plus Size Midi Dress" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ5kmADz_5I8ysBc_r410JSPjxBitRxlTAq17mIFskhAGETAleSZl9mmiXbwoURosdEbSPq4dL3IzvXOtfH-8LPZT_U9sD2YzP5FHIeIjlztRpg-ZOREl8Zza74GKjQvV3jVIEMGouiFlE/s640/midiootd4.jpg" title="Plus Size Midi Dress" width="560" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Navy Jersey Midi Dress - ASOS</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Denim 3/4 Sleeves Jacket - Primark (last season)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Red Bow Belt - Primark</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Gold Bobble Necklace - Accessorize</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Coral Heels (Also worn HERE) - Newlook</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I don't know about you but I find that I make so much more effort with my outfits in the Summer.

I'm all for leaving your blog as your signature if you have written a proper, relative comment because it enables me (and others) to find you and you're being part of the community, but please don't just spam and go. It leaves a very bad taste and only reflects poorly on you.

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Before Christmas, on one of my many jaunts through ASOS (an online clothes shopping haven), I stumbled across a bag that embodies everything I look for in a piece of arm candy and snapped it up quicker than you could say, 'Shouldn't you be saving for a holiday?".</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: center;">ASOS Mint Hare Bag </h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJKkS6JM1JCDevpod-dzwOnQ1YaSwecMYrKGQY5fbhwsuDRnKcH1ZheTD6jxf6wYApTsZe0WUwmaQ2W7kA2uAd4EKryquVUn8uG1lrgilNHd6GQE_cN4nxWFDS8eDGbIiqTTsIoCmgJD3v/s1600/Mint+Hair+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="414" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJKkS6JM1JCDevpod-dzwOnQ1YaSwecMYrKGQY5fbhwsuDRnKcH1ZheTD6jxf6wYApTsZe0WUwmaQ2W7kA2uAd4EKryquVUn8uG1lrgilNHd6GQE_cN4nxWFDS8eDGbIiqTTsIoCmgJD3v/s640/Mint+Hair+1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh hello <a href="http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Tassel-Bowler-Bag-With-Rabbit-Fitting/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2544688&SearchQuery=mint%20bag&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Mint" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">beautiful mint green bag</a> with (faux) gold hardware, tassel and a embossed hare detail. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNUehmfxLcStRrntDwy1T8Bz7UOySpgjCfuBAJkH6xpv7UOL3L7WYfnVknlooDg-5eXpC7yOk07auiR3VsCByO17YXWIbxrX4pdW0ZB1ThowLqAsWetk2-63dhOA4D0zoEldWUXdRKaLqG/s1600/Mint+Hare+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNUehmfxLcStRrntDwy1T8Bz7UOySpgjCfuBAJkH6xpv7UOL3L7WYfnVknlooDg-5eXpC7yOk07auiR3VsCByO17YXWIbxrX4pdW0ZB1ThowLqAsWetk2-63dhOA4D0zoEldWUXdRKaLqG/s640/Mint+Hare+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This bag is described as a 'Tassel Bowler Bag" but in my humble opinion it should be the Mint Hare Bag- far more whimsical. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Retailing for £35 for not real leather, I do think the pricing is a little steep. However, the fact that it is mint & gold, has forest animal detailing (I have a love of woodland creatures), is large enough to fit all my mummy junk and regular stuff in it, can be held with short handles or long straps and has a tassel....well that makes up for it for me.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjieLs1nnoFkVW5inBv-L84mSJefWB-U255uo4KPcoc5pqY23iaWT8DG4TXWLRRUqvnx8kFfX2RC_24cs2gSphMW1H11EoO2ihyVYGZBr7yvIe8_c-BglX3mSCE-ZCncXmA4AgaOsK9S7BL/s1600/Mint+Hare+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjieLs1nnoFkVW5inBv-L84mSJefWB-U255uo4KPcoc5pqY23iaWT8DG4TXWLRRUqvnx8kFfX2RC_24cs2gSphMW1H11EoO2ihyVYGZBr7yvIe8_c-BglX3mSCE-ZCncXmA4AgaOsK9S7BL/s640/Mint+Hare+3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This bag is just what I needed to brighten up a grey January and look forward to Spring with. I tend to wear a lot of pastels and florals from about February-August, so with any luck, this will see me through. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I haven't had an opportunity to take it outside a lot and really road test it so at the moment, on the durability front, the jury's out. I've never had a 'big bag' from ASOS before so I can't even look back and compare, but based purely on aesthetics, I LOVE IT! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">What do you think? How much do you allow yourself to spend on a 'big bag'? I think my limit is about £60 if it's very, very special. Let me know in the comments, I'm interested.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Toodlepip!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">xx </div>
