Rose Duo with In The Style Curve

If there's two things I'm really into this season it's plisse and pink tones.
When asking if I'd like to choose an item or two from the Curve range at In The Style, I knew it wouldn't be long before I was selecting a little pink number, the Emmeline Rose Pleated Wrap Dress. The fact it was also in that gorgeous pleated plisse fabric, only sweetened the deal a bit more. 

 
 

 I chose the dress because it's perfect for a hen do that I'm attending but as I love wrap style dresses, I wanted to see if I could work it in to a daytime outfit too. So instead of styling the dress for an evening out, I thought I'd show you how I dressed it down.

 Teaming the dress with some embroidered jeans and my silver boots, it's dressed up without being too ott. I ordered the dress in a size 20 and although it was a little on the large side, over jeans I think it works really well with that added slouchiness. 

 
 

The next item I chose was basically the same thing but in a skirt. I chose this in a size 18 and it run very small. Possibly a slight inconsistency with the sizing but don't let that put you off. The quality, cut, fabrics and price are the winning elements here. 

 
 

Again, I chose to dress the skirt down. Wearing it over tights, and dressing it with my baby pink Reeboks and khaki bomber jacket. You can find the Millie  Rose Wrap Skirt here 

 
Have you checked out the pieces in the Curve range yet? There's so many gorgeous items at such a good price here.

Working my Curves with Curvety

I have recently discovered a UK based online store called Curvety- also found on Instagram- and they kindly offered me an item of my choice. Who in their right mind would turn down a dress?!
Scouring the website of beautiful items, I came across this Kiyonna dress in a gorgeous coral shade. I was in love!





I have plenty, if not, too many dresses in my wardrobe, but something I don't currently own is a wrap dress. I've never really gave them much thought, maybe thought of them as being too safe or mumsy. But as I was offered to choose something, I chose the exact opposite of what I'd usually go for and I'm so glad I did. First off, the length is so perfect on me. There was no need for tights as I felt I was suitably covered and there would be no accidental flash of pants upon bending over. Secondly, wrap over dresses might be a 'safe' or easy option but they are actually really sexy!! I won't lie but I felt a bit of a kitten wearing this! The top part and the sleeves of this fine knit dress are made from an amazing mesh but is also knit. Make sense? 3/4 length sleeves meant my arms were not too bare and I could go out for the night without a jacket.


I wore my favourite heels with the dress and a cute bit of bling to really make the outfit pop! X
