Get In The Garden - Plus Size Spring/Summer Fashion From Marisota

Prepare yourself for spring and summer with my garden party recommendations

Hi,

My name’s Jenny and I’m one of the Marisota girls (click here for more info about me!) , I love all things fashion (particularly shoes – and even more particularly stylish wide fitting ones). I’m here to give you a quick update on one of this season’s hottest trends. With spring and summer well on their way we need to prepare for the months of garden parties, barbeques and drinks on the patio. So these are a few of my quick tips for dressing to impress this season

These stylish spot hem pedal pushers are a perfect choice for spring; the ¾ leg is flattering whilst the spot hem is a great element of detail – a must this season. These would look particularly fabulous with this white cutwork gypsy top from Joanna Hope. It’s floaty and feminine but comfortable at the same time. The ¾ length sleeves are effortlessly flattering and perfect for if you burn easily, or to keep off the chill as the evening draws to a close.

Another fantastic option is this stylish sequin trim print skirt from Joanna Hope, wear it with one of Marisota’s simple camis (and a waist belt if you prefer) to get a simple, stylish look.

If you want to get the full on summer feeling then this maxi dress is ideal. It’s comfortable, flattering and comes in a choice of lengths so you’ll get your perfect look and fit!

Now as you know (or you will soon) shoes are my weakness, so where would my post be without some recommendations!

These Caryn Franklin gladiator wedges are some of my absolute favourites, these wedges are comfortable but still have a heel and have strap detail, plus they come in a variety of widths!

If you favour a flatter style then these Emotion sandals are perfect. They’re just strappy enough for smart occasions but are still great for regular wear, plus with their great range of sizes and widths you know you’ll be exquisitely comfortable.

Let me know what you think of my choices, or if there’s anything else you want to know. (PS. the mystery blogger last week was me!)

Bye for now

Jenny


Snow joke… I’ve got no snow clothes!

I can’t believe the chaos the snow is causing. They’ve sent Joanne home from school… and I’ve had patients cancelling on me left right and centre! So I’ve decided to spend some time with Jo and get out in the snow. I’ve got virtually no sensible clothes for the this kind of weather though. I was just thinking about putting together a nice new wardrobe for spring when this blizzard hits!

A little ensemble from the Marisota plus size fashion collection like this one would be perfect:

As it is I’ll just stick with my old jeans and coat for today… but maybe I’ll get prepared for next time the snow comes bucketing down!

Ah well - I don’t suppose it’ll matter today as the only eligible batchellor I’m likely to meet in the back garden is a snowman!

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!
