Well I just had to tell you about my Saturday. i decided to take a train to London and check out the Shop My Depop Event at Dalston Pier. I have to admit, i went because I just had to meet Tess Holliday. She has become some what of an idol for me. I completely admire her for what she is doing to the fashion industry and to all of us adverse folks self esteem. Finally there are so many types of beauty and they are all being recognised!!
Yes, it is true. The is all hers! |
Ok so now back to my point. This shop my Depop event. It showcased stock from many well known Bloggers, Depoppers and basically boss, slaying babes.
I was able to rummage through the racks of Felicity Hayward, Michaela Gingell, Philomena Kwao, and the amazing Tess Holliday
Busy from the beginning |
Chanel Boateng was also meant to be there and I was absolutely gutted when she wasn't. One day I will meet that woman!
It was an amazing way to network, meet fellow bloggers and people influential in the plus size fashion business.
I was so glad the stock was from size 14 upwards, so i felt completely comfortable searching through clothes. For once i was able to keep my cool and keep my spending to a minimum. My first and most important reason for going was to meet and network with people, the shopping was a bonus.
After chatting by email and Facebook I finally got to meet the plus Connection's Christina Arisci |
My happy place: Shopping! |
I bought some fantastic jewellery felicity which will be great for the many appearances I have in the coming weeks.
Then I just had to look through Tess' rack. I managed to snap up a #Eff your beauty Standards' T shirt and some edgy rock chick jewellery.
I was so happy with my T shirt especially, I love the Eff your beauty Standards Campaign and everything it stands for. Beauty isn't just the conventional model beautiful force fed to us for so long. It comes in so many forms.
I will wear this with pride |
What was my OOTD you ask? Well I kept it simple with by Boohoo black maxi shirt, split sides of course, some black leggings and my favourite white waterfall waistcoat from Bow Chic.
This woman is everything! she is my inspiration and i was so honoured to meet her! I had to make sure i was |
