You know Kelly Osbourne right? You know her story right? But do you know her stories? No? Well let me explain.
The gorgeous and empowering Kelly Osbourne has finally launched her fashion range. Stories… and my lovely blogger friend Katie and I decided we wanted to branch it out and get London involved! This is her first collection, suitably named ‘Chapter One’. We know that Kelly has lots of Love for London and we wanted to give some back to her… as well as trying out the range ourselves.
So we waited patiently and finally made a little order from Bluefly who ship to the UK. (A round of applause please) We couldn’t help ourselves, Katie and I decided to go all out and really show some London love into our posts today. To say we were super excited about trying the range and doing this post is an understatement. So we picked up our Stories… By Kelly Osbourne pieces and headed to the sight-seeing icon that is Tower Bridge. I have to say, the reason I was so excited about this line is because I know Kelly has had body confidence issues herself though out the years and I genuinely feel like she knows how it feels to feel crap about yourself because clothes that fit you are crap. (Just being honest). Yes, plus size fashion is making leaps and bounds but knowing that the person behind the range gets the really influence it has makes a huge difference, and it shows in the collection.
First up, is the Ivory and Black ‘Kelly’ Chapter One Graphic T Shirt. Firstly I have to say the fit is brilliant. If anything, it’s a little generous. It goes up to a 3X which is a UK 22/24. This is the size I got and I would have been happy to size down. Considering the issues I always raise with my large arms I’m so pleased this was a great fit. It’s also a contemporary design. Sometimes when you buy a T shirt, it sometimes feels really drab and slack. But this graphic T-Shirt has the structure that smaller sizes usually have. You know where it tucks in ever so slightly at the waist. The crew neck isn’t trying to suffocate me and the turned up sleeves stay turned up! It’s also light weight without being transparent and I feel like I’m wearing a woman’s top not a man’s sports top! (I know my plus size girls will be nodding their heads at these things!)
I’m a massive fan of graphic tops. They are one of the simplest ways to make a statement. Both Katie and I paired the top with a skater skirt, but it would go so well with some skinny jeans and a duster jacket, leggings and boots, paired with pencil skirts, patterns, basics, the list is endless with tops like this. A massive hooray to Kelly for creating some capsule versatile pieces in a range of sizes. Her tag line is that everybody deserves fashion and I couldn’t agree more. It would be great to see the next range expand into even more plus sizes but for now Kelly you seriously rock!
As a little hint… tomorrow post will be another versatile piece from the Stories… By Kelly Osbourne range. One of the items which I have been coveting for a while and for so many reasons! See you then!
