Last April, I attended a bloggers' breakfast hosted by Yours Middle East in Dubai.
It was a fun experience meeting the other plus size bloggers living here. Some of them I knew and followed but had never met in person. These kind of events are a great way to create that sense of community and I hope there will be more of them in the near future. Women empowering women.
After a delicious meal, a shopping session was on the menu!
Here are the two pieces I picked out that day.
I have been wanting a short well-fitted - not bulky nor baggy - denim jacket for a while now and this one from Yours ME fulfilled that wish. I think you all know by now how much I love casual outfits.
Fool-proof! It is where I find myself. To put in simpler terms, it is my comfort zone.
Although I like breaking from it every now and then, by trying new styles and wearing things I don't normally wear, the casual look is always my best friend.

My second pick was this beautiful light paisley maxi dress. I fell in love with the fit, the print and how flowy it is. It is actually a sleeveless dress and I know that a lot of plus size women don't like to show their arms much. This denim jacket is a good option if you wish to cover. You can always just throw it over your shoulders instead, to turn into a more street-style look.
Another item on my wishlist was platform sandals, but none of those high-heels ones. I was really fond of the one-level platforms. They look so trendy and comfortable. Lately, I have been a big fan of Call it Spring. Their collections seem to collide with my style. I previously bought slip-on sneakers, standard sneakers, flats and my famous peep-toe booties (which I got in two colors, because they were so comfy!) This time I was looking for platform sandals and I found exactly what I had in mind.



Overall, it is definitely a cute, fun and comfortable daytime outfit that you can all rock!
