Lauren's Fashion Fixer: Summer Festivals

Hey everyone, hope you're all very well!

Everyone and their aunt has been talking about how best to dress for this year's festivals - most opt for playsuits and maxi dresses, which is okay if you're in the VIP area at Glastonbury but maybe not so practical for the rest of us!

Here are three Yours Clothing looks that are chic and practical - though I've taken the liberty of assuming the sun will actually come out...

On trend 70's

Clockwise from top left: Shoes, Kurt Geiger; Blue floral wide leg trousers, £22; Ivory embroidered smock top, £25; Floppy felt hat, ASOS; Floral satchel, £20; Wooden necklace, £10; Tortoiseshell wayfarers, £6

Kitsch & Cute

Clockwise from top left: Heart buckle belt, £10; Polka dot 2in1 tunic, £35; Turquoise wooden bead necklace, £6; Fabric flower ring, £5; Tummy control leggings, £12; Wellies, Hunter; Diana Flash camera, Lomo; White chiffon shrug, £12

Tribal Rock

From left: Black skinny jeans, £18; Oatmeal feather print t-shirt, £14; Brown gladiator sandals, £20; Brown stone ring, £6; Aztec bracelet, £8; Tan fringe bag, £12

I love all these looks, especially the first because it's SO on trend. Look 2 is definitely the most similar to my own style... so it's not a shock when I tell you I've bought it myself already!

Hope you like these looks, ladies. Let me know what you think! Which festivals are you attending this year? Let me know in the comments, or on twitter or facebook. Hope to hear from you soon!

Lots of love,

Celebrity Look: Jessica Szohr

Hey everyone! It's been lovely to see your feedback on both my outfits and the outfits I posted yesterday. It's nice to know there are some super confident ladies among our customers!

Those of you who are no shrinking violets will love this week's celebrity inspired look, based on Gossip Girl's Jessica Szohr at the recent MTV Movie Awards. She certainly stood out in her loud and proud jumpsuit - and if you thought us plus size women couldn't steal her look... Think again! Yours have the perfect jumpsuit that is as eye catching and flattering as Szhor's, and available up to size 28!

For our version, we've got our stunning Limited Collection leaf print jumpsuit, £35, teamed with our black wedge sandals, £20 and a hot pink wooden bead necklace, £6. If you want a gold clutch like Jessica, we have one of those too!

What do think peeps? Are there any other celebs you'd love to see featured on the blog? Let me know! You can comment here on the blog, or via twitter or facebook. Can't wait to hear from you!

Lots of love,

Lauren's Fashion Fixer: In the Coral Club!

Hey everyone!

As I'm sure you know, Yours aims to cater to all types of plus size women and make sure everyone gets to dress exactly how they want: whether you prefer comfort and practicality, or fast and hard fashion trends. Our Limited Collection has some fantastic, uber trendy items this summer which are perfect for those of you who want to head out on the dance floor!

Coral is a key colour this season and it looks fab with a tan (real or bottled) - I've picked three plus size clubbing outfits that are definitely not for the faint hearted!

Look 1: Colour Block

Clockwise from top left: Purple shrug, £5; Blue corsage, £4; Limited Collection 2in1 coral mini dress, £35; Purple bracelets, £8; Shoes, Brian Atwood; Hot pink clutch purse, £8

Look 2: Ms Sassy!

Clockwise from left: Limited Collection coral power shoulder tunic, £30; Studded stretch waist belt, £10; Paisley lace tights, £10; Shoes, Jeffrey Campbell; Silver loop necklace, £10; Black studded clutch, £12; Black stretch ring, £5

Look 3: Ms Classy

Clockwise from left: Limited Collection coral one shoulder corsage mini-dress, £35; Gold drop earrings, £6; Shoes, Schuh; Gold studded clutch, £5; Gold statement necklace, £; Gold swirl stretch ring, £5; Black leopard print tights, £8

What do you think peeps? I've gone for the very trendiest and most body-conscious, however I know a lot of you will want a little more coverage. You can always swap the tights for leggings and add a cover up if you prefer.

And if you feel the need to smooth some lumps and bumps, there's always our shapewear range that can help you feel even more confident!

Hope you like these looks, and if you have any sartorial dilemmas let me know via facebook or twitter, I'd love to help!

Until next time... Lots of love!

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!
