Lauren's Fashion Fixer: Summer Weddings

Well hello there everyone! It seems you are enjoying my little fashion fixes and outfit ideas, so I'm keeping them coming!

One of the questions I get asked most of all is what to wear to a wedding as a day guest, as you may have seen from my previous blog posts on the subject. Everyone wants to be as elegant and fancy as possible, but as always the options are more limited for plus size ladies. Well, that was until we came along, anyway! We have a huge range - over 200, in fact - of stunning dresses in various lengths, so no matter your height or size, you can be the belle of the ball! Not upstaging the bride though, of course.

I've put together three options in maxi, midi and mini lengths. I hope they give you some inspiration if you're struggling to come up with a decent plus size wedding guest outfit. Here goes:

Clockwise from left: Pink Jewelled Maxi, £30; Diamanté Flower Necklace, £8; Vintage Style Stretch Ring, £5; White Chiffon Detail Shrug, £12; Gino Paoli Sandals, £7

Clockwise from left: Multi Floral Print Dress, £30; Aubergine Pashmina (to wear as a stole), £6; Silver Stretch Ring, £6; Silver Heart Diamanté Earrings, £5; Silver Bead Stretch Bracelet, £10; Black Bar Courts, £20

Clockwise from left: Floral Gaga Sleeve Tunic, £22; Gold Statement Necklace, £10; Black Suede Look Diamanté Clutch, £5; Black Bar Courts, £20

I hope you love these looks! Do let me know what you think. Speak to you soon!

Lauren's Fashion Fixer: Wedding Guest Outfits

Hello everyone! It's been a pretty busy week here at Yours, but one thing has remained the same: our massive sale! Yup, as we speak you can still get an extra 20% off all our sale items!

Earlier in the week, Hannah asked on the Yours facebook page whether I had any suggestions for what she could wear to a wedding she's attending soon. I had a bit of a think, and came up with two suggestions which I think fit the bill.

Our lovely photographer Marzena took some photos of me in the actual outfits - I'm no model, but I tried my best! Anyway, here are my two wedding guest looks from Yours Clothing:

Classic Black

Black mesh halterneck dress, £30
Black 120 denier tights, £10
Cream diamanté corsage, £4
Black diamanté flats, £10

Black oval stretch bracelet, £6

Black has long been considered a strange colour to wear at a wedding, given its negative connotations. However in recent years I've noticed more and more women wearing black to weddings and looking very chic!

Our black mesh halterneck dress is incredibly glamorous and flattering, with ruching to the bust and a soft hanky hem. I've teamed the dress with opaque black tights, black embellished flats, a contrast cream corsage, and some silver jewellery to keep it simple and elegant.

The great thing about wearing a classic LBD is the versatility of the colour, meaning you could use any kind of colour scheme or accessory theme with it.

Vintage Fancy

Apricot pearl trim tunic, £35
Black 120 denier tights, £10
Black diamanté corsage, £4
Black pyramid clutch, £6
Black cluster stretch ring, £5

I really love this tunic, although it has divided opinion with some thinking it's beautifully vintage, and others saying it looks like it was cobbled together with your grandma's old chandelier! I'm definitely in the former camp - I love vintage and this evokes the style of old Hollywood glamour.

Because the dress is a champagne/apricot colour, I have used all black accessories to contrast with the paleness of the dress itself. I love the fact that it's glamorous but still modest, and not about to upstage the bride. However, if you really fancy catching everyone's attention, swap the nude tunic for our cerise tunic instead - there's no way you won't be able to catch the eyes of all the guests!

Well I hope this helped in some way and possibly gave you some inspiration! If you have any questions or comments, you can contact me via the comments here or on twitter and facebook. Can't wait to hear from you!

Have a great weekend guys,

Lauren xx
