Pink Clove.

First off!
Heeeeeyyy baby gurrllll! ;)
Anyone who watches Total Divas and/or is a Diva fan will get that referrence and anyone who doesn't, won't!

Above is my first picture in my "Selfie Sunday" series. Every Sunday up to christmas (and probably a little while after that) I will post a selfie either here and/or on twitter & instagram !

Anywho! I got some NEW PLUS SIZE CLOTHING from a very lovely online site called pink clove ! I got 6 items and actually got an array of different things. Ranging from a pair of leggings, to a dress! Yes, you read correctly: a dress!
In fact let's start with that little beauty!

Tartan Skater Dress: 26/28: £22

Now I do apologize for the mess in the background, as it got a little dark outside so I had to have the pictures taken inside, in my sister's room!
This tartan skater dress is a little beauty. Now I DON'T wear dresses...EVER! I've never really had the confidence and hate showing off my legs. It really gives me anxiety in all honesty. But I'm so glad I got this dress. First off it's a skater dress so in MY opinion, it is very flattening on a bigger frame. I like the print of the dress and don't think it is as overpowering as I thought it would be. I must admit when I opened the packaged I was a bit intimidated by the look of it! 
The sizing is very true to size, I got this in a size 26/28 (you can't chose the individual sizes, you have to get a / size) and it fit well. The belt is a little cheap feeling but that is to be expected as it came as a freebie I guess.


The quality is REALLY nice actually and there is a good weight to the fabric. It will definitely keep you warm in the colder months. I just paired it with some basic black tights.

Roses ombre tshirt: 26/28: £15
Black skater skirt: 26/28: £10

The next outfit is made up of two/three of the items I got from the store. Again, paired with black tights, I was pushed out of my comfort zone and got a skirt. It's also a skater skirt so I was really excited to try that! My sister wears some skater skirts and they look really nice on her. So I thought I would give them ago.
This waffle jersey skirt is quite basic but a really nice material and will most likely go with anything. I paired it with the ombre roses top which is basically a dressy t-shirt. You can't see the ombre effect on the top as I paired it with the skirt and obviously it covers it up, but if you follow the link you can have a look. Basically, the pink fades into a sort of greyish colour. The sleeves are black and so is the back so it's not too overpowering. And there is an exposed zipper on the back also which gives it a nice touch.

Red/black cardigan: 26/28: £12

I paired it with another item I got from Pink Clove. A beautiful swing cardigan that is red and black. I thought it tied in quite nicely with the top and it made a colder evening rather more bareable. I love the quality of the cardigan. It is SO soft and a really nice material! I find it is the perfect length and perfect size. I did actually order a size up (30/32) but they gave me a 26/28 which I actually prefer, however had it gone the other way, it would of not been so good!

Grey/black peplum top: 26/28: £12
Blue/black check leggings: 26/28: £10

This next outfit is a bit more casual. All of the pictures turned out blurry so this is the only decent picture I could retrieve from the bunch! My apologies!
This outfit was kind of just thrown together for purpose of the picture, however, looking at it I do kind of like the combination! The grey and black peplum style top is nice but I felt like it was a bit tight. It might just of been the lycra-esque material but I wasn't overimpressed with it! I really like the design and look and it felt nice enough, just not amazed by it like the I was with all the other items!
The contrast peplum top is really nice, the peplum is not too high, nor too low and gives a nice peplum shape. I still think it's a really good price for the quality and style and I have lately become addicted to peplums. I will definitely be wearing this alot!
Talking of things I will be wearing a lot, these blue and black check print leggings were a total steal! Retailing at £10 they are the best quality leggings I have tried. However, they do seem to run a little small, depending on your size. I normally wear a size 20-22 legging but got these in a size 26/28 for "just in case" reasons. I was a little shocked when they fit perfectly! The waist is a little big though but on the leg they fit perfect. Now I don't know if that is a good or bad thing, sizewise!
Anyway, I absolutely love these leggings! Everything about them, from the fit to the print to the price! Ah-Maze-Ing Darling! (Sorry, had to get a strictly come dancing line in there somewhere, as I've been addicted to the series so far!)

The clothes are all fantastic quality. The customer service was great and the social aspect of the company was nice too. They were very quick to respond to my tweets and facebook message and were very supportive. I am very happy with their product and will definitely be buying from them again. I often find that, especially with plus size clothing, it is very hard to buy nice quality, fashionable, inexpensive clothes nowadays. But Pink Clove ticks all the boxes!

Here are all the links to each item and the link to Pink Clove also!
They also have a 30% off tops sale on at the moment, so hurry up and have a look before it runs out!
Definitely recommend getting some of their great clothes!
