Welcome to the Marisota girls blog. See what they've been up to lately.
Beating the credit crunch with great value plus size fashion

I got a stressed out phone call from my sister last week. She works for a big bank in the city and they have made hundreds of people redundant, including her. I wanted to do something to cheer her up and it had to be shoes. She loves shoes! I got straight online and looked at the range of Marisota wide fitting shoes. She won’t mind me telling you that she has really wide feet, if her shoes don’t fit just right they really hurt her. I found just the pair of fashionable shoe boots and took them round to hers with a box of cookies for good measure. She loved them and it really cheered her up. She even registered for a Marisota catalogue herself, now she can buy her own shoes and wide fitting boots in the future.

This credit crunch, it’s affecting all of us. Thank goodness for good value and Marisota!


Brrring out the winter coats!

There’s a real nip in the air at the minute, autumn is well and truly here. I don’t mind one bit, it gives me a great excuse to wear my lovely new plus size coat from Marisota. Honestly, the coats and jackets in the autumn winter Marisota collection are just gorgeous, the plus size coat choice is amazing. My daughter and I love going for a walk on a cold, bright day. All wrapped up in my well-fitting stylish coat, she says I do her proud I look so good, and me a size 16! There’s a lovely local pub on our walk and I love to drop in for a quick drink before braving the cold in my coat again.

I love the different coats that are in style right now, the sash jacket and the classic mac and wool coats are huge this season. It’s fabulous and all so cosy. Enjoy the winter weather, I know I will!


Plus size party clothes for the season
Ok, so I know Christmas is a few months away, but the party invites have already starting coming. That means one thing… new clothes! I am going to need a new dress, plus size dress of course. My work party is the one I’m looking forward to most, we’re going to a James Bond night at a swanky casino, oooh just imagine the evening dress I can get for that night! I don’t know whether to go for a plus size maxidress, a long dress, a mini dress with a shrug or a black jersey dress with a belt. There’s just too much to choose from, thank goodness I like home shopping. I couldn’t face the shops.
I’ve got a couple of months before I need to decide what to wear and I know just where to start looking… Marisota!


Strictly come shopping

How good is Strictly Come Dancing? I am totally addicted. The dresses, the moves, the men - well, I can look! I love the full length dresses the women wear, but I don’t think they would suit me. Personally I prefer to wear separates, a lovely plus size tunic top with a smart pair of trousers or a nice skirt with a matching blouse. This means I have more choice, especially in the morning if I’m running late for work. Sometimes I look at these elegant women in sparkly dresses, I only get to wear them about twice a year. It’s hard when you’re looking after a busy family, so my wardrobe is filled with tops, skirts, trousers and accessories. This way I still look smart but I don’t have to worry everyday, which is good because I don’t have time!
I’ve been so excited by the autumn winter Marisota collection from my Marisota catalogue. Autumn is my favourite season and the plus size fashion has been superb. Who needs the high street when you can get clothes delivered without braving the cold, rainy weather? Not me!


Let’s talk about fashion not finance

Are you sick of hearing about the credit crunch? Things have gone up and I do have to watch my pennies, but I wish they didn’t go on about it all the time. Well I’m going to use my Marisota blog to tell you all about plus size fashion I love and it’s great value!

It’s the time of year when you need a good pair of plus size jeans, and of course they have to fit well. Not just around the waist, but the leg length too. Have you ever tried to take a pair of jeans up? I have and I can tell you it’s no fun at all. This autumn I got short length jeans from Marisota. They had my leg length so I could wear them straight away, and they were such a good price! So even with the credit crunch I get great value clothes at Marisota, so I can still afford to treat myself, even when I’m on a budget!


The perfect boots for bad weather

I love autumn… it means crisp, cold weather and the X Factor’s back on telly. Perfect. I love the weather because it gives me a chance to wear my wide fitting boots from the Marisota Legroom boots range. With my thick calves I need to find the right size or I can’t zip them up all the way, but Legroom boots are not only wide fitting in the foot but wide calf fitting too.

I love the X Factor because it’s just absolutely hilarious! The first round of auditions make me laugh out loud. I almost thought of going in for it myself, I can carry a tune but I just don’t have the courage. With my trendy new knee high boots maybe I should maybe have given it a shot. They make me feel taller and give me a more confident look, but my friends would never let me live it down no matter how gorgeous my knee boots are!

Oh well, I can dream… and I already shop like a pop star with Marisota. I know I can always find high leg boots that fit first time and I get them delivered to my door, so who needs a celebrity lifestyle, I’ve already got one!
