This post is inspired by a gorgeous friend (and talented makeup artist) of mine, Lisa. She is definitely what I would describe as curvy, and in all the right ways. I have worked with her quite a lot recently on various shoots, and was inspired by her cool, but feminine ‘looks’ each day. She (along with many of you) asked me to do a Mama Spree dedicated to curvy mamas, so here it is. I decided to do an outfit that will work just as well for day as for night, with just a quick swap of accessories. I must admit, I did have Lisa in my mind when choosing these pieces, but I think this is a universally cool and flattering outfit (who says you have to wear frumpy clothes just because you’re not a size 8? Not me that’s for sure). You can’t go far wrong with a black jean as far as I’m concerned (I am a huge fan), so that’s what I started with. I’m also a big fan of the skinny rolled-up jean and a slouchy blouse combo (in fact, I would totally wear this outfit). This Gap mens army-style jacket would be great worn over your shoulders with both of these looks (the Gap mens ones are always the best, and I saw this one in the store last week, and it’s now firmly on my Autumn shopping list). These Gap legging jeans (don’t be scared by the name – they bear no resemblance to a scary jegging) are super-flattering. I like the black (the wash is great – a bit faded), but they come in lots of different colours/prints. My sister swears by them , and I lived in my camouflage print ones last Winter. I also like this this Mango suede panel t-shirt; this Isabel Marant Étoile dress; this Mango mohair coat; these Autograph leather leggings (my sister also has these and loves them – I’m tempted too); these Mango faux leather leggings; this Mango wool-blend t-shirt; this Evans navy long sleeved tee; these H&M linen tees; this Warehouse jumpsuit (despite what you might think, jumpsuits can be really flattering for curvier bodies – you just need to get the proportions right); and these Mango sandals.
Next week it’s all about Winter coats (another popular request). It may be only August (not that you’d think it from the weather), but it’s not about waiting until Winter is fully underway to buy yours (if you care which one you buy anyway), You have to act fast before the best ones sell out. So don’t even thinking about investing until after next Friday.
