Summer Staples

Hello everyone! Hope you’re outside enjoying the sunshine, after all, summer is finally here!!

So.. today I’ll be taking you through my style staples for this summer! A lot has changed for me since last summer, so my fashion has changed a lot too! And on that note, let’s dive in!

1. Stripes.

Stripes were a staple for me during spring and now again for summer! The only difference between my stripes in summer is that we’re all about bright, bold colours that pop! You can find these at Newlook!

2. Crop tops.

I’ve always been self conscious about my stomach, and I never thought I would be confident enough to wear them! Oh how times are changing!! I love crop tops paired with high-waisted jeans, high-wasted shorts and midi skirts. I think anyone and everyone can rock the crop top trend regardless of size or shape, if you feel beautiful, everyone will see that! (partly because you are.. duh!) You can find these at Pretty Little Thing!

3. Sunglasses.

This one’s a no brainer, it’s summer, you’re gonna need some shades! I love how putting on a pair of sunglasses makes me feel, like a boss ass bitch. Put those sunnies on and enjoy the sun! You can find these at H&M!

4. Maxi dresses.

These are something that I struggle to find for myself because I’m only 5ft 2 inches tall! Which means it’s a mission to find a maxi dress that doesn’t drag along the floor! So here’s some dresses for ladies of all heights, shapes and sizes! Find these at Boohoo!

5. T-shirt dresses.

I love love love t-shirt dresses, they’re so comfy and can be dressed up and down! I like wearing these with tights on cold evenings if I’m off out with long necklaces and heeled ankle boots. These dresses are all from ASOS and most of them are available in all body types/sizes!

6. Denim Jackets.

I’ve always struggled with this trend as I’ve never really known how to wear denim jackets; but recently I’ve found that I love wearing my denim jacket with t-shirt dresses during the day or with jeans in a different tone with a cute top! These are all from Topshop and they have so many more styles online in loads of colours!

7. White trousers/jeans.

This one can be a scary one for some people to wear, for example; me. I’m always terrified I’m going to spill something on them or sit in something! But I’ve sort of come to terms with that fear and now I love wearing them on a bright sunny day! Pairing these with a bright or cropped top is always a winner! Go to RiverIsland to check out some more of these!

8. Bright Bags.

Bright bold bags are super cute for summer, whether it’s a big shoulder bag, crossbody or clutch, these will make any outfit fun and ready for summer. Above are some that I love! Who would’ve thought that Next would have such cute bags!!

9. High-waist trousers.

These look great nearly all year round, but for summer, tie waist trousers have been one of my go-tos. They look great paired with a cami top tucked in, some cute heels and a blazer! Perfect for a night out or wear them more casual with sandals instead of heels. Find these at Newlook!

10. Shorts.

Shorts are always a summer staple, regardless of the year. When it’s really hot you don’t want to be walking around with loads of fabrics on! So, that’s why shorts are perfect because if it is a little warm with a breeze, I love wearing shorts with a slightly oversized light jumper and cute trainers. It can take a while to find the right pair of shorts for you, but it will be worth the wait! You can get these from ASOS!

So that’s my summer staples for this year. Hope you enjoyed checking them out and maybe you found something on here that you’re going to add to your own summer staples! If you’re not sure about wearing something new, I’d totally recommend trying it out at least for a day, but more often than not, you’ll find that you look amazing!

What are your summer staples? Let me know in the comments so I can try them out!!

Have a great bank holiday everyone!! Love,

Date Outfits

If you’re like me and can never decide what to wear everyday regardless of what is happening, you’ve probably been sent into a panic when any occasions come round and find yourself searching on Pinterest for ‘date night outfits’ or ‘smart casual outfits’ etc. So that’s why I thought I’d give you a few simple ideas that I like for any occasion when you want to wear something smart casual!

One of my usual go-tos is ‘jeans and a nice top’, but I’ve put together 4 outfits which I think would look amazing on everyone, so feel free to have a look at!! I’ll let you know where everything is from on here and I’d like to add that I’m not sponsored by any brands mentioned! (Although, if anyone would like to send me free clothes and shoes.. I would happily accept 😉 )

1. Date night in ‘jeans and a nice top’. I think this outfit is a great one for Spring and Summer time. Anyone of all shapes and sizes could rock this look and it’s great for going out to dinner in or anywhere like the cinema or even just going out shopping for the day! If you’re wondering, I found all of the items in this image from Newlook!

2. Day or Night Date.  This one is a personal favourite of mine. I’ve worn variations of this during Spring, Summer and Autumn and I always feel fab in it! These pieces are all from Boohoo and the clothes are from their Plus range (I hate the word plus sized.. We’re all sizes so why do we need plus sized, can’t we just have clothes that are all sizes?? I may do a post about this soon). This is a great look that can be dressed up or down, so you can modify it to your mood and occasion!

3. Day Date. If you’re off out for a day date, and not sure on the weather, this can be a good one for you. Simple and comfy is what I went for with this one, and I completely adore those jeans!! This would look fab no matter your height; and if you’re not sure what you’ll be doing whilst out for the day, wearing jeans is a great go to with cute comfy shoes. All of these gorgeous items are from Tesco’s F&F if you would believe it!!

4. Home Date. Just because you’re at home for the night doesn’t mean you can’t make it a ‘date’ in my eyes. You could make dinner or have a movie marathon! The good thing with home dates is that they can be cheap or free and you can wear whatever you like and be comfortable; plus, no uncomfortable shoes!! These items are all from Pretty Little Thing (except the necklace which is Boohoo) and they also do a curvy range for those of you who struggle to find clothes that fit your bum as well as your waist!

So, here are some ideas of outfits for date nights or just going out for the day. To be honest, I think to some extent it doesn’t matter what you wear, so long as you feel good and confident in it! It doesn’t matter what your shape, size or height is, you’re all beautiful and have your own unique styles, personalities and that’s what makes you, you!! (And you’re great, just in-case you didn’t already know)

That’s enough from me for today I think! What are your favourite outfits? Let me know and send me photos of you in them @worldsweights on Twitter!!

My Spring Staples

Spring is finally upon us!! Hurrah!!! It’s always this time of year where I want to clear out my room and my wardrobe. I just want to throw everything away and start from fresh.. But that would cost way too much money so instead I just sorted though all my clothes. And I’ve decided to try going minimalist as I’ve always loved how clear and simple everything looks (becoming minimalist blog post to follow!).

So what are my go-tos for Spring? Well, I don’t consider myself very fashionable, but here’s what I’m loving for Spring this year!

• Stripes. They never go out of style in my eyes, every year I see beautifully dressed people walking the streets and there’s always a few wearing stripes, whether its tops, jumpers, dresses, trousers or even shoes, they always look so chic and pretty.

• Shirts. These can be a bit tricky for me since I’m a busty girl, but I found a few lovely ones from ASOS and even Tesco F&F which fit don’t make me feel like I’m going to burst out of them haha.

• Rolled up Jeans or Ankle Grazers. Me being a short girl (5ft 2.5inches and proud!) finding jeans that fit me properly can be a nightmare!! But River Island do some brill jeans that I adore at the moment as well as New Look. I am pretty used to rolling up the bottom of my jeans due to them being too long so it’s just natural for them to be one of my Spring Staples.

• Tube Skirts. These are something I never would had dreamed of wearing due to my body image issues, but with the past few weeks I’ve been forcing myself to come out of my comfort zone more with my fashion choices and I think I’m starting to like how I look in them, lumps and bumps and all!!

• Trench Coats. I like these for most of the year, or just when it’s too warm for a coat but too cold for going without. I just feel stylish when I wear these to be honest! And pair this with a high-waisted tube skirt, knotted t-shirt and some pumps and you’ve got yourself a cute, chic outfit anyone can rock

• Finally, florals. These are always in and out of fashion, but I love seeing people wearing bright bold floral patterns, especially this time of the year. It just brightens up your day, especially if you live in England like me (one minute its sunny, the next it’s showers!), it certainly changes dull rainy days!

Do you have any Spring Staples? If so, let me know what they are below!! Maybe you can help me be more stylish haha 😉 Have a great week ahead everyone!!

Love,
