Dressing room adventures!

Hello all, how are you? I hope you're very well! If you're based in the UK, until 4pm today we have half price next day delivery, so it'll only cost you £3.49 instead of £6.99. Don't miss out!

Earlier this week I headed to one of our stores, and tried on a few items I love from the site. I've always found it helpful to see clothes on a more ordinary body so I thought I'd do the same thing for you!

I am 5'1, a size 22-24 and a definite pear shape. Here goes!

1st item: Black & White 2in1 Dress, £28. I tried this dress in a 22 and it was a perfect fit! I think it gave me a great silhouette as the bodice is fairly short, so it nips me in and gives me the illusion of a waist. The skirt is a lovely a-line so it skims my belly and bum very nicely! I'm also very impressed with the length of the skirt, it means that even taller women can wear it as a dress with opaque black tights underneath.

2nd item: Mustard Tunic, £14.50. I tried this tunic in a 22-24. It's such a beautiful, on trend colour for the autumn/winter season and while it looked okay, I believe it's a much better cut for someone with a curvier, hourglass figure to avoid the snug fit around the belly. Such a great, comfortable look for daytime, and there are many other colours available!

3rd item: Coral Dip Back Scoop Neck Jumper, £17. I tried this on in a 22-24 and I absolutely love it. It is unbelievably soft, it simply has to be felt to be believed! This is just great for keeping warm and toasty in the winter and suits any body shape. I especially like the dip back for a sweet little detail. Great with leggings and boots, or even with a skirt (I'm wearing my own Yours velvet skirt from last year in the photos) and thick, wooly tights.

I hope you've enjoyed this post! Let me know if you do and I will happily post more! :)

Plus size versions of SS12 fashion - already!

Hey my lovelies! Still super happy with this beautiful weather we're having in the UK! And is it payday for anyone else? We've got free UK standard delivery on orders over £50 with the code "delfree" this weekend as a little treat for you. But what to buy? Well, I've got some inspiration for you...

If you've been keeping up on fashion news, you'll know September is one of the most important months in the calendar! With New York, London, Milan and Paris all showcasing the hottest trends and looks for next summer, I figured why wait? Especially when there are some similar items still available in plus sizes here at Yours Clothing! You may remember my Rebecca Minkoff post, but here are even more! Have a peek:

Anna Sui's cute and kitsch retro look makes a feature of a huge bow - we've got a stunning selection of t-shirts with bow motifs for a similar feel!

And if bows aren't your thing, how about showering yourself in hearts instead with this Anna Sui-esque print tunic? Team with statement accessories for an off kilter, fun outfit!

Dolce & Gabbana were all about ladylike florals (and a few vegetables, too!), and the elegant purple blooms can be found on our Limited Collection slinky maxi dress.

Scottish boy wonder Jonathan Saunders is a revelation with his dainty, ladylike designs, and a lucky few of you can grab this lookalike prom dress from our sale - only a few sizes left, so hurry!

And finally, for those of you who love show-stopping brights, our De Stijl inspired tunic has the Barbie pinks and electric blues that are just like Nanette Lepore's neon summer collection!

Well I hope this has been a fun post for you all. I'd love to know your thoughts, and if you have any ideas for content let me know on facebook or twitter! Can't wait to hear from you.

Have a super weekend everyone xx

My Style, Yours Style ;)

Hello all, hope you're having a fabulous Friday!

I know you love to see "real women" (i.e. non models or actresses, although I think most of them are real, too!) on this site, and as I wear anything from a 20-24 I figured I'd show off my Yours Clothing items! Here is today's outfit...

In this I'm wearing the Yours leopard print peter-pan collar tunic and tummy tuck leggings, paired with cutesy accessories.

I fell in love with the tunic as soon as I saw it on site, since peter-pan collars were so trendy and no other plus size store had them at the time! The leggings are so comfortable, as well. I always size down to a 16 or 18 for leggings because you need such a close fit, and for the tunic I ordered a 22-24 as I knew it came up slightly small.

This outfit has been worn so many times over the past few months as it's so comfortable and cute! The tunic is now in our mega sale, so it's even more of a bargain than previously!

Hope you enjoyed the outfit, and remember you can also get featured in our style inspiration posts at the end of each month - just send me your outfit photos like this one via twitter or facebook, it's so simple!
