Sand Pits and Sheer Dresses - Scarlett and Jo OOTD

Hey peeps!

So I am fresh outta the sandpit (aka Dubai). Its one of my favorite places in the world.It's clean, warm (well really really hot actually) and just mind blowing.
went there for a few days to participate in crazy hen party activities, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to share with you my favourite outfit of the weekend (well not including the cop costume we wore for brunch day).

The first night saw me in a very sophisticated bar called 'Observatory' in a skyscraper. The altitude will make you understand why it is called this. It was only fitting I took my recent 'Scarlett and Jo' purchase a test run.So I wore their very chic 'Maxi Duster shirt'.

This number is just stunning and is by far my favourite piece in the collection and I have to admit that I wanted all 3 colours. It comes in Black (as per the pic), navy and ivory. I tried to get the navy and ivory but unfortunately it was sold out, so I could only get the navy.

This number can been worn as a sassy addition to a smart casual look. If you are into the wow factor I would totally recommend going daring with some high waisted shorts and a signature bra. I went with the more conservative look ( I mean  I was in Dubai, so the risque look would not go down very well!). I paired this with some Scarlett and Jo leggings and a simple black vest.

Even though I was in the sandpit where with temp in the evening was still over 30 degrees, I still felt really comfortable. The material is very forgiving and cooling. Although you are completely covered up, you can still benefit from the breeze. I decided to keep it a little sassy and only have it closed by 2 buttons. When walking I was able to make a statement.

There are two high splits in the front of the garment, to make it easy to walk in and dance. You wont feel constricted when you sit down or stuck in a sleeping bag.

I am very impressed with this as Scarlett and Jo normally have items which are very demure and sophisticated. This is most definitely on the edgy side. This dress was actually my inspiration for my latest protective style (let me know if you would like to find out more about this style by commenting below).



Make up wise I decided to keep it pretty simple and went with a glowy sun-kissed look. I kept the eyes simple, bronzed a little but of course I needed to go ham with the highlighter. In fact I stepped away from the makeup revolution highlighter and tried the Sleek palette (review coming soon).
It gave me the tanned look without having to bake in the sun.

I absolutely felt like a million dollars with this whole look!

So let me know what you think of this look. Comment whether it was a yay or a nay!

Who said plus size girls can't look edgy and sexy! Dress you confidence, not your size!

Until next time peeps xx
