What Milly Wore: Purple Rain

Hi Guys,
hope you've all had a lovely week
and you're all getting used to the fact that it's nearly February and getting colder!

I was lucky enough to be contacted by Daxon
and asked if I would like to choose an item to feature on my blog.
Daxon are branching into Plus Sized clothing,
so I was interested to see what they had available.
As a size 14, I'm at that awkward size where I'm not quite plus size,
 but a bit big for some shops!
But as someone from a family of  *ahem* curvier ladies
I gladly took them up on their offer.

When looking at their website it's easy to skim over and think that it's aimed at a more mature lady,
or that they are not very fashion forward,
but I really would no be so quick to write them off.
I really feel you can take staple pieces such as this jacket and add it to any wardrobe,
you can style up in your own way, give it your own twist if you will.
As I hope I've proved with this post.

The jacket is extremely good quality,
much better than you would find on much of the high street,
I was really impressed with the suedette fabric, it feels really soft and authentic
and I love the faux leather piping too.
It's so well made and is a joy to wear :)

As Daxon go from a size 14-36 I think it's a great place to try
if you are struggling to find great quality clothing
in your size.

In this outfit I Wore:

Purple Suedette Quilted Jacket: C/O Daxon £49

Galaxy Print Grey Cardigan: Asos (a few years ago)

Multi Galaxy Wolf Dress: Motel @ Topshop (also ages ago)

Grey T-Shirt Dress (worn underneath): H&M

Black Treggings: Next £18 (new)

Galaxy / Glitter Print Duffle Bag: Peter Pilotto for Kipling

Leopard Wired Hair Band: Dolly Bow Bow

What Milly Wore: Aztec Swan

Hi Folks,
So I've not really made a new year resolution persay,
but I am trying to get myself organised, by sorting through my room
and my wardrobes to get rid of what I don't wear

But also I am trying to make use of pieces that I love 
but don't get use out of for some reason.
I'd like to vary my outfits more,
care less what others think of my style,
and experiment a bit!



Here is what I wore Yesterday:
Khaki Quilted Jacket: River Island (last year) £30 ish
I've had so much use out of this jacket but it is yet to be featured on the blog
as I usually wear it just with t-shirt and jeans.
It's kind of barbour esque which I love

Nude / Pale Pink Padlock Bag: M&S (last year) £39 ish
I'm not really an M&S kind of person
but I saw this bag in a magazine and just had to buy it!
and I haven't regretted it,
Its really unique spacious and well made, just wish it was leather!


Black Pearl Cardigan: New Look (sale last year) £9 ish
I never wear this cardigan,
purely because it annoys me that I cant do it up!
I do love the pearl detailings and buttons though.

Swan Digital Print Cropped Top: H&M £19.99
This is a fairly recent purchase that I've just not got round to wearing
I just think the swan is very mysterious looking, 
and I love anything with a photographic or digital print
Also seen on my Clothes Twin Hannah :)

Aztec Bodycon Midi Skirt: River Island £20 this season
I bought this skirt on Tuesday,
I'd had my eye on it for a while, and decided at £20 it was worth it!
I really like the print, that it's high waisted and the midi length
It's amazing!

Black Leggings: £4 Primark
As always, actually need to buy a few more pairs!


I love the clashing prints,
They shouldnt go together but they somehow do!

Black Leather & Tweed Fabric Buckle Boots 'Smoke': Carvela Kurt Geiger
Original Price £180 Sale Price £89 Price after discount code & voucher £49 :)
I love these boots, couldnt believe I got them for such a good price!
I featured them on my blog a couple of months ago 
but didnt think I would be able to afford them
They are really comfy and fur/fuzzy lined.

Think that's everything guys,
Do you like to clash prints?
Have you had any surprise sale bargains?
