Super-size me
BODYCON dresses are all very well for those who have a permanently concave tummy but, if like me, your figure or body confidence can change like the weather, then the over-sized trend that has been creeping up for the last few seasons is a welcome change, a chance to mix comfort and fashion – two words that don't always go together.
The pictured shot from Penneys, left, is a perfect demonstration of how to best execute the look.
The sloppy coat is balanced with a thigh- skimming skirt – but can easily be paired with skinny jeans too to give the look some sense of a 'neat figure' under all the layers.
Also, when the temperatures really drop, a super-sized coat allows plenty of room for a thermal jumper underneath.
Bouclé coat, €40; jumper €16; blouse, €10; bag €12; high ankle peeptoe boots, €18, all from Penneys.

Linda Cantello, international make-up artist for Giorgio Armani Beauty, has created a star Face & Eyes palette in two harmonies, offering six shades of Eyes To Kill Intense multi-faceted eye shadows and six Rouge d'Armani shades for the lips.
Palette No. 1 contains Rosy Blush face powder and three eye shadows in smoky purple, iridescent blue and satin grey blue while Palette No. 2 (pictured) has Light Pink Blush face powder and three eye shadows in copper wood, iridescent jade and sea green.
For the lips, Rouge d'Armani vibrations has hues from wild berry to sun-kissed shades.
The pictured night-time look is the perfect foil to any LBD – a classic beauty take that should ideally be set off by a good complexion.

BAGS and shoes fascinate most women with many of us simply believing that we can never have enough of either – something to do with the fact that they will always fit us, no doubt!
