QLD Bloggers Weekend

I knew for this meet up I wanted to wear something bright and colourful that I felt comfortable in. This meant that I was finally able to take my new Hope and Harvest pieces out for a spin and see how well they all worked together. 

When H&H had their sale a couple of months ago, I bought ALL the things. I ended up with all 3 o the wide belted skirts and all 3 of the maxi skirts and even had some money left over for the Floral Kimono that I have been gushing over ever since it came out.

When I received my H&H haul in the mail I was just amazed at the quality of the fabric and how well the clothes had been tailored to fit plus size women. I love that the skirts are made to stretch depending where on my body I want to wear them. They are just so versatile, so easy to dress up for a night out or dress down for that coffee catch up with friends.  I find now that when I need something that is easy and quick, I turn to my skirts. They are AMAZING!! 

I would also like to thank Harvest and the girls for their exceptional service through the entire purchasing process. The H&H team really know their stuff when it comes to plus size fashion and what us girls want in our clothes. 

I have to admit, I was a tad nervous, but I was more excited to meet in person, all of the amazing girls I have chatted with over Facebook and shared outfit posts with on Instagram.  We ate some amazing food and drank the afternoon away and afterwards even had time to head up to the City Chic outlet at Harbour Town for some bargain hunting. All in all it was a great day that led into an awesome fun filled night! (more on that later)

Welcome back!

It's been a long time since I last wrote a blog post, weeks months!!  I wasn't happy with how I was using my blog and felt I needed some time to start fresh, put some ideas together in my head and then make them work.

The former name of the blog 'Curvy Em' felt right at the time but after much thought I didn't feel that it was the best way to describe the real me in a few simple words, Geek Chic Girl does! I mean, hello! I'm a geek, I'm chic annnnnd I'm a girl...last time I checked.

I'm going to write about things in my life that excite and energise me, video games and plus size fashion.  After talking to other bloggers about what they write and why, the consensus was that they were writing about what they love and not what others love.  I love gaming and everything geeky ie: Star Wars and I love fashion, so that's really a no brainer isn't it and they don't seem to overlap in my life, each is given as much equal love as the other......most of the time.

So welcome.......again, sit back and relax. I really hope that you enjoy all the ramblings about gaming/geekery (is that even a word? Well it is now), fashion and everything in between.

To start things off I'll give you a sneak peek into two blog posts that I'm working on. The first is my night out for my best friend's costume/birthday party, guess what I went as!! The second is from my weekend away with the QLD Aussie Cuves girls, WHAT A BLAST!! Stay tuned! xx
