   If  you have been following me for a while you know that my style has changed due to some personal reasons. I strongly believe that when you get to a certain stage in life you have to let go of somethings. My style has changed because certain things no longer work for me and i am not into tight fitted clothes anymore that is not to say that my clothes should be ill fitting it is a big NO for me. I have opted for  clothes that are flattering on my body type. I do have a blog post here about things i no longer wear make sure to check that out  as well as a detailed YouTube video which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u_u6l8rp7E&t=20s. I love dresses and i want a dress i can transition from morning to evening, casual to chic as well as from summer to autumn and winter. Slip dresses can be a hard one to get your hands on if you are plus size because they tend to show your business if you get what i mean and sometimes they could be very unflattering. Getting the ri

There are cheaper alternative to luxury brands if you can not afford them but still want to get the luxury look for less. I am all about saving and investing my money into something meaningful and am in no means saying luxury clothing is not an investment. I love luxury items as you all know but i believe in spending my money wisely.

  It is the smock or shirred dress for me as i can not get enough of it. The sleeper dress from a luxury brand goes for 320 dollars which is about 285 euros and i absolutely love but could not justify spending that amount of money on the sleeper brand. I went on the hunt for the same dress and lol i found it at misguided for a cheaper price. The quality of the fabric i would give 10/10, the fit and cut excellent. I got this in a size UK 18 which is US 14. I got two one in black and the polka dots as you can see.  This dress trend isn't new in my opinion but it is blowing up again this summer. I love the feminine touch of the smock dress. 2021 summer smocking has returned in different ways. The statement balloon sleeves has a vibe to it.
