Tulle skirt around!

4 Comments

A few weeks ago this beautiful skirt was brought to my attention.

I knew I wanted it immediately. I have never bought anything from the H&M plus size department before so I didn’t know much about their sizing but that wasn’t going to stop me. Between placing the order and the skirt actually arriving I heard from many people that H&M items come up really small so I started to get a little worried.  The only thing that was going for me was that the skirt had a a stretch waist band and also that the lining was a jersey fabric.

The skirt took quite a while to be despatched and also took a bit of time to be delivered (which again is something H&M seem to be known for) but once the skirt arrived i was happy to forgive all sins because it was my dream skirt.

The skirt is literally perfect for me. If it has a cotton lining it would likely be too tight and also if it has a non-stretch waistband it probably would not have fit. I wear a UK size 30/32 and I got this skirt in the largest size (3XL) and the skirt fit like a dream.

Not only is it a stunning skirt I love the ribbon waist band it catches the light beautifully and adds that little something extra to the skirt.

The skirt is so light and floaty and the movement is beautiful yet the jersey lining will always protect your modesty.

I wore the skirt with the ASOS Curve cami with wrap front, this is what it looks like untucked from the skirt but I much prefer it tucked in.

My shoes are old Primark wide fit open toe flats in nide with a bow and they are super cute and comfortable. I think this skirt would look great with a pair of heeled sandals too but I personally would not be able to walk far in them lol.

My Cardigan is an old Evans one that I tend to throw on, on a summers evening, Although it is farrrrr from summer at the moment I wanted to wear something light so as not to take away from this beautiful skirt.

My clutch bag is this one from ASOS which I received as a gift from my Access All ASOS Secret Santa, and it came just in time to be paired with this skirt which was quite handy 🙂

I think this skirt would look great as part of a more casual look also, which I plan to do very soon, which makes it a very versatile piece and I know I will get a lot of wear out of it. I think this skirt was a steal at £19.99 and if they had more colours I would be buying more for sure, Unfortunately this skirt is now out of stock in every size but I’m hoping they have seen just how popular it is and get more, LOTS MORE!

Still blossoming in Winter.

Since Scarlett & Jo became available in Evans they have been producing item after item that I have lusted over. I, like everyone else on the planet fell in love with the infamous prom dress but by the time I was able to buy it everyone and their cat already had it. Then the prom skirts came out and I knew I had to have one. A little late to the party (or prom lol) again I now have a beautiful Scarlett & Jo prom skirt. They are still available HERE on the Evans website on sale and in three colours.I chose the purple because with winter approaching I wanted something that was dark enough to wear throughout the colder season but with the vibrant flowers it still stands out beautifully.

The skirt has an elasticated waistband and is so comfortable, I have on a size 30 and it fits great so you could easily size down if need be. The skirt has a built in tulle underskirt and feels so girly and ‘flouncy’ to wear. It really feels like a luxury piece when you have it on. I know with all my extra padding I shouldn’t need the help of tulle to fill out the skirt but it just makes it so pretty.

This is just going to be a really picture heavy post as the skirt is so gorgeous!

This is probably my favourite skirt at the moment and I can’t wait to see what Scarlett & Jo come out with next. They have some beautiful vintage jersey dresses in at the moment. Go check them out.
