fatmusings: 049 / the day of the ditto

[4:34 PM | View Comments ]

First, before I say anything else, please everyone take a look at those drool-worthy Louboutins that Beth is wearing. Oh my god, they are so marvelous! They have that signature Louboutin fetish quality that I am loving. *sigh* Too bad they are out of my budget.

Back to business, today is the day that I have been waiting SO long for. Beth’s collection for Evans is launched and I just know that I’m going to be eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the next week lol. While I know we’ve seen things like the domino dress and the prom dress over and over again, what I wanted to highlight in this post are the accessories. Elisah, on behalf of the marketing team behind the collection, was so kind to send over some hi-res promo photos of Beth and the jewelry is so good. As mentioned before, I am usually one to buy s from the regular places - f21, h&m, random cheapy mall stores. So when I saw the sequined necklace, I actually did a double-take and said ‘oh this is GOOD!’ The Spectator Brogues are also on my list of purchases. They are such a mash of different styles and I love that they can add a bit of an edge to any outfit. From following Evans on twitter, I’ve heard that the Gem Belt is actually sold out so if you haven’t snatched it up already, you’ll have to wait until its restocked online.

If you’re wondering about the US to UK conversion, I usually wear a 22/24 on the bottom and always order either a 24 or 26 and have never had an fit issue with my Evans order. For a much better review (with pictures!) head on over to Deena’s blog, Fat Girls Like Nice Clothes Too! I’ll be doing a review as well but it will probably be sometime next week or so, depending on when my order arrives.

I know a lot of people are apprehensive about the fact that now a lot of people will undoubtedly be dressed alike because of the popularity of the line. Don’t fret, I’m sure you won’t see tons of OOTDs on the fat fashion blogs that look exactly alike. My style is different from Gabi’s, which is different than Natalie’s, which is different from Deena’s, Stephanie’s etc. So rest assured you will not see an over saturation of Beth look-a-likes all over the internet.
