This weekend I had a night out at the new Figure 8 night in London, and it The really nice to see everyone. The night itself is a brand new Size Acceptance night, which was hosted at Club Nomad in Old Street. The turnout was fantastic, so if it sounds like your kind of night make sure you keep an eye on their Facebook to see when the next one is likely to be.
In the lead up to the event I decided that I wanted a new dress to wear. I’ll be honest this year I have tried to buy fewer clothes, because I have so many and it felt like I was wasting money. So, as much as I wanted a new dress, it was definitely going to have to be a budget purchase.
By chance, an email arrived in my inbox to tell me that Scarlett and Jo were having a clearance sale. so I had to pop along for a nosey. I have loads of Scarlett & Jo dresses, so I know when it comes to sizing and quality, they’re not going to let me down.
I picked up this teal jewel-coloured lollidot dress for just £15. What I love about Scarlett and Jo dresses is the thick, jersey material that they use – it always falls really nicely and makes the dress so comfortable to wear.
Size wise I sized down once on this, because I know that they always come up quite generous. I probably could have sized down again, but it didn’t feel too big and it was nice to have a floaty type dress to wear – I think it could also be a pub garden pub dress too!
