Outfit of the Day - Halloween in July

This is my first EVER OOTD post! OMG! I am really nervous and excited. It's a weird feeling, I'll admit.
I have been monstorously sick for the past week so excuse the lack of make-up and hairdo. Today was the first day that I felt well enough to get out of bed and I just wanted to put on a simple little outfit that was above all - comfy! I just bought this gorgeous burnt orange coloured lace shawl from Sportsgirl in their massive sale. Originally it was $80, I managed to snag it for $25. Bargain and a half! I got another tie up cardigan for a whopping $12.50! It's a great 70s print with some colours I don't think I would normally pick out. I also love the fact that both are from a straight sized store! IN A MEDIUM! I'm normally a 22! I might have to go back and see if they have any other oversized bargains! The shawl is just so lovely, I tried to catch a little of the detail in the other photo - but I'm new to taking outfit photos and still a little embarassed to ask Mum to do it for me so this was a little experiment on camera placement and as such, I missed my feet and had to take another photo! The colours kind of remind me of classic Halloween decorations - the pumpkins and black cats. Hmm, might have to have a Halloween party this year... I do so love Halloween!

Welcome!

Hi. I'm not sure anyone is ever going to read this but I am grateful if you are. I made the decision to start blog (I do already have a tumblr but I find that to be less personal) to explore the patterns I may or may not have in my fashion choices. I want to push myself with my daily outfits - I feel I am totally falling into a rut with what I wear. Same types of outfits, lack of any discernible accessorising, boredom basically. I also want to connect with other plus size bloggers out there, as I am the only one of my friends who is plus sized, and get tips/tricks/ideas. I really hope I am able to keep this all up but I guess only time will tell. I look forward to any comments/constructive criticism you may have. I think I will keep this blog to fashion only, OOTD's and stuff like that. I look forward to taking this journey with all of you!

Thanks!
