What I Wore ~ Anne Lace Skirt

October 19, 2017 By sammy 1 Comment

I love a good skirt.

As a Society+ ambassador I get to road test a new item each month and this time around its the Anne Lace Skirt. Check out the lace detail , its divine!

The skirt has been out for a while now, I’ve been super busy settling into my new apartment in Brisvegas (yay) and starting a new job contract. Also, I’ve been suffering poly cystic ovaries quite badly for a while and have gained ALOT of weight over a time frame of a month. My hormones are all over the place. Feeling much rounder in my mid section and face.

On top of that I’ve lost a lot of my hair due to trialling a medical treatment to help me with an auto immune disease. Which has been a bit of a kick to my confidence so it can be hard to put yourself out there with taking outfit photos. But life goes on and sometimes you just have to ride it out and keep chugging along.

Traditionally when you think of lace I always think of tightness and getting restricted. Pleased to let you guys know that the team at Society have thought of everything and designed the skirt to have both stretch lining and a stretch waist with the lace overlay having some move to room.

And it comes in black & white

I styled my with a classic red cold shoulder blouse, a matching red lip, simple black knot necklace and kick ass boots.

I like to keep it simple when styling an outfit. The skirt alone has so much detail and texture that it stands out.

Totally worth the $70 for a staple wardrobe item that can be worn in so many ways. Plus there’s always fabulous sales so make sure you sign up to the newsletter

What I Wore ~ Juliet Rose Skirt

Introducing the
Juliet Printed Tutu

As an Society+ ambassador, each month I’ll be bringing a new Society+ garment to you the same day it goes live on their website.

You can read more about my collab with Society Plus here

Because I’ve been travelling around the USA attending fabulous fashion events (geez that sounds so glam) I’m a little late for this post so the Juliet Printed Tutu skirt is available right now and on sale for 4th of July (yay)

You guys know that I never talk about something that I don’t love. So here’s the details.

It’s soft, flowy and feminine with an edge of vintage romance. I totally think of Romeo&Juliet with the rose print so it’s no wonder the designer named it the Juliet. (also do you know that Society+ design their garments at the Florida HQ and boss babe Jessica Kane who’s a size 22 is their fit model. Cool huh. Plus size garments designed by plus size babes for plus size babes)

Let’s talk sizing.

I wear a medium at City Chic, a size 18 at most other Aussie stores, a size 16 at 17Sundays and a 2XL at Torrid.
In these particular photos with the peach backdrop I’m wearing a size 14-16 which is a snug fit. The waist band is elasticated with a thick band so even though it was tight getting over my hips it fits my waist comfortably. In the photo at the very top where I’m wearing the white lace top – I’m wearing the next size up
