AUSSIE CURVES - CELEBRITY COPYCAT

I think most of my readers are fellow Aussie Curves ladies, but for those who are not... Aussie Curves is basically a fashion community of Australian and New Zealand woman we are size 14 and above.

These women are so fabulous and stylish, it has really opened my eyes to the plus size fashion world, and helped a lot of us with body confidence.

The Aussie Curves challenge is a weekly fashion challenge that we participate in (with via a blog, facebook or Instagram). I've been a long time lurker of the weekly challenges, and now that I am back in blogging-business, I've decided to join in.

This week's theme is "Celebrity Copycat"

I was going to replicate one of the many outfits I adore from my style muse, Kim Kardashian (whom I also have a love/hate relationship with), but it seemed like many of the other Aussie Curvette's had the same idea, and their outfits were putting mine to shame!

Then I remembered this two tone navy and grey dress I had that is an imitation of the one Miranda Kerr wore which I had purchased wholesale when I was running an online fashion boutique. Sure, I must be crazy for trying to pull off the same outfit as the impossibly slim (and gorgeous) Miranda Kerr, but in the spirit of things, here it is;


 
Wedges from Kmart


This dress was advertised as a plus size dress, although I am wearing the XL which according to the measurements should fit a size 22 (I am a size 16/18).

I do like this dress, it is casual enough to just wear with sandals on the weekend, but also can be office appropriate with a nice pair of heels. I am usually ALWAYS wearing black or white somewhere in my outfit, so the navy and grey is a nice change.

Please excuse my less-than-ideal photo quality... I've got a tripod on order so I can take better photos, in better light.

Check out the rest of the Aussie Curves ladies this week (and you will see what I mean about their outfit posts putting mine to shame!)
