Hello there,
Autumn is upon us, and I love it. it's crisp air and the smell of peoples chimneys brings me joy, the leaves are falling and it is looking beautiful with the oranges and yellows of the leaves scattered around the trees, soon there will be blankets of leaves underneath the trees and I absolutely love it.
I thought I would do a wishlist of items I am desperate to add to my very small wardrobe (emphasis on the small please) I am a plus sized Mumma so shopping for clothes is so limited (that is my fault, and my problem) so buying online or venturing out of my town is pretty much the only way I can buy clothes, Asos, Yours clothing, Debenhams, Newlook and River Island I am loving at the moment. So here are my wishlist items.
Asos.
Fox dressing gown, I have no idea why we all associate foxes with Autumn (is it their colour?) but we do, even though I see more foxes in the spring and summer than I do in the Autumn, I think this is so cute, snuggly and fun. I love my pjs and dressing gowns, as soon as I get home from a long day it's the first thing I put on, my Children do the same.
This khaki parka coat is not something I would usually like, in fact when my Daughter Georgina asked for one similar to this one a couple of years ago, I really didn't like it, that was until I saw it on her with her skinny jeans, ankle boots and a chunky knit scarf, I totally loved that look on her, and now I am finding myself rooting for my own, similar to hers. This one I am loving and I love the lengh of parka coats and always plenty of room in them for chunky knit jumpers and cardigans.
I keep seeing this cactus blouse and I am so obsessed by it, it's so cute and fun.
No wardrobe is complete without a pair of ripped jeans, right? I don't like my jeans to have huge rips and holes in them, so these are just perfect for me.
I love my trainers and boots and these knit textured bow trainers are in the basket at Asos waiting for me. I love the style and the textures material, I think they would look so good teamed with a jumper and jeans.
Chunky boots like these are a throw back for me, I had so many pairs similar to these in the 90's, being chunky myself, I prefer the chunky heels and these are almost flat so even better, they look so comfortable and comfort is the most important to me, comfortable they may be but these still make a statement.
New Look.
Love the colour of this kimono and the fact it ties up too.
Loving blouses and shirts for autumn, they are simple and look great paired with jeans and ankle boots or a pair of cute trainers (like the bow ones I posted from Asos.) It's a simple look, and I love it.
This simple white shirt with the embroidered flowers is beautiful.

I love wearing dresses, leggings and boots with a chunky knit cardigan, and to be honest I don't think I'd care if I end up being the only person who still wears that style of outfit, It's comfortable and I think it looks good on my figure, I'm 5ft 4" and on the larger scale of plus sized, so for me it's hard to flatter my shape, some looks just drown me and make me look more bulky and round looking, where as with this style of dress shows I do have a waist and and I can show off my legs in a more flattering way than with bare legs (which for me, looks awful) dark wool tights or 100 denier tights are also more flattering for my legs.

Loving all the embroidery, from jeans to boots, shirts to jackets, I love it. Again these are similar to things I had in my wardrobe in the 90's and I am loving that they are back.
Every wardrobe needs chunky knits at this time of year, It's getting colder and before I give in to the heating going on (No, please no heating just yet) I throw on a chunky knit and put my fluffy slippers on and snuggle under a throw, if we are still cold then the heating goes on. Chunky knits are perfect for those days that are too warm for a coat, you can just put on a chunky cardigan or jumper instead.
More floral, am I turning mumsy? Oh well, I just love the florals. Tunics are perfect to pair with skinny jeans and boots. This one screams autumnal to me, love the rusty red colour of this tunic.
Chunky knits that will go with almost everything is crucial to me, I don't always get time to really think about what to wear and so this cable knit cardigan will go almost with everything I own, dresses, jeans & shirts. Just grab and go.
Boots are my obsession, I see people posting photos of their shoe collection, with their Jimmy choos, Versace and many other luxurious shoes and I am here thinking "where are the boots?" I don't care for designer shoes but give me a photo with beautiful boots, in many colours and styles and I will be drooling, (well not literally, that's a bit weird.) I could only dream of a wardrobe filled with boots, I have about 5 pairs and I am rooting for more, and these ones I especially.
I love the buckles and the colour of these. I have seen this style in Primark recently.
I love a good pair of brown boots and mine from last year are still going strong, but mine are more calf boots, these ankle boots look so comfortable.
Yours Clothing.
Yours Clothing haven't had much online that I've liked recently, in fact I think it has been a good couple of years since I have wanted a lot of their items, until now. I have such a huge basket of items I want to get on their site, they are really nailing it at the moment with their star prints and monochrome looks, rock chic and dark florals. Here is a few items from my huge wishlist of items from Yours Clothing.
Longline shirts, perfect paired with skinny jeans or treggings. I am particularly loving the stripes, I've always been told to stay away from them but stripes like these are actually flattering on plus sized women. Just be careful and make sure it's vertical stripes for shirts like these, horizontal usually makes you look bigger and highlights the areas you would rather hide.
Check oversized shirts will also go well teamed up with skinny jeans, treggings, jeggings or leggings.
More longline blouses, from embroidered to stripes.
Star prints seem to be a big look this autumn, this T-shirt dress is another dress I would pair with a chunky knit cardigan, leggings and boots.
Ok so this dress isn't for everyone, but I frigging love it, I love sugar skulls and this would not be a Halloween dress for me, it would be worn often and loved so very much. I love the Hell Bunny range, I am a huge fan of the 1950's fashion. This is such s fun dress.
Yours Clothing has a really good selection of jumpers at the moment, these are my favourites.
I really like the cut shoulder jumpers, there is a good variety of them on the site but this style I really like.
More stars, love this knitted hoodie, and the star pattern is an added bonus.
Textured jumper, I really like the zips on this.
Never thought I'd wear embroidered jeans again, and yet here is another pair I am so in love with these.
My little pony nightie, and wonder woman pjs, why do I need these so much? it brings back so many happy memories and brings out my inner child. When else can you be a kid than with might wear eh? I love Child like night wear, it's fun, life gets so serious and stressful so why shouldn't we own pjs and nighties that release our inner child. Now can they please bring out a carebear onesie and I will be a very happy adult (ha)
River Island.
I have recently found out that River Island do a plus size range, how long have they been doing plus size clothing? I am loving it too, so many lovely items for autumn, here are my favourites.
Love the colours on this.
Love love love this parka coat.
