Overcoming My Online Shopping Phobia

Fear is a primal human emotion. It prevents us from getting hurt and making really big mistakes. But it can also be a energy usurping parasite that stops you from living at all. Some people even live in that constant fear or making decisions just because they're scared they are not making the right one and that can go from picking what take-out restaurant to order from to taking your next career move. Sadly, I can include myself in that group of annoying creatures. However I have great news, I've managed to overcome one of my greatest phobias: ONLINE SHOPPING!!!

That's right, I've put aside all of those "will it fit? will I like it?" fears and just ordered something: This jacket from Asos.com that I talked about here. It was on sale and I thought "What the hell! Just order it!" And so I did!  (Just realized it's no longer on sale. I bought it on sale about a week a go for half the price. Wop wop! It really pays to take chances!)

I got it in the mail yesterday and I can say I was not a bit disappointed. It arrived in perfect conditions and it looked exactly like I expected it to look, which it was not like it looked in the pictures. I believe we always need to have realistic expectations when it comes to that. It also won't look as good on you as it does on the model! Duhh!

I just didn't get it so right on the size. I ordered a size 22 and it's a bit big on me. I'm usually a size 16/18 but it kinda works because of style and shape of the jacket. I could send it back, but it's really not worth the trouble. And it was my own fault really, I measured myself with a tiny metric tape and kinda calculated a size. Not smart! However it was an overall positive experience and I might do it again if I ever fall in love with an item like I did with this one. Just don't expect me to stop shopping in physical stores, because that's a pleasure I'm not willing to give up.

Slightly obsessed with this Asos Curve jacket. Maybe it's time to click "Add to bag".

Ligeiramente obcecada com este casaco da Asos Curve. Talvez seja altura de clicar no "Add to bag".

Dear Santa, I Swear I've Been Nice #7

Asos Curve

 My boyfriend's at his office Christmas party, so I'm spending the evening alone in my pajamas. But if family members were invited I'd be wearing something fabulous like this sequined peplum top from Asos. I know peplum doesn't suit me and I'd need to wear a bra, but a girl can dream, right?

O meu namorado está na festa de Natal do escritório, por isso vou passar a noite sozinha de pijaminha. Mas se eu pudesse ter ido à festa, estaria a usar algo fabuloso como este top de lantejoulas da Asos. Sei que o peplum me fica mal e que ia precisar de usar soutien, mas uma pessoa ainda pode sonhar, não é?

Birthday Countdown - 29 Days To 26

Peplum tops by Asos Curve

 I couldn't have a birthday countdown without one of my favorite trends ever, peplum. And specially peplum tops. However as a plus-size girl it's hard to find pieces that fit and look good, but I believe these ones would look good. I'm really motivated to ask for one of these for my birthday, but which one to choose? My boyfriend liked the black one. Which one do you like better?

E não podia ter um contagem decrescente para os meus anos sem uma das minhas tendências preferidas, o peplum e, especialmente, os tops em peplum. Como moça roliça, é dificil encontrar peças que sirvam e fiquem bem, mas acho que estes iriam ficar bem. Estou mesmo motivada a pedir um como prenda de anos, mas qual escolher? O namorado gosta do preto e vocês? Qual o vosso preferido?
