OOTD - red maxi dress, floral kimono, gold accessories + gold nails

Hi everyone. 
I very rarely add outfit posts, but I received this gorgeous  plaited neckline maxi dress* from oasap and I decided to feature it on the blog. It is quite hard to find something that will fit me in regular size ranges, so I always go for oversized designs :) Remember that being a bigger size doesn't exclude you from fashion partnerships! You can go for oversized jumpers and tops or accessories.
I paired the dress with a floral kimono from h&m and gold accessories including an oasap necklace*. Unfortunately I left the house wearing a cardigan, because my husband told me that I looked like I was wearing a night gown. Oh well.. At least I took outfit pictures :)
Are you brave enough to wear a kimono?

Excuse my weird pose, but it is flattering for my shape :)

  16. I got the black version of that kimono for Christmas, and it still has the tags on, I just don't know how to style it. You've worn yours so well though! The red maxi is gorgeous!

    1. When I bought mine, the black one was sold out. I was gutted. I wanted to get the black one to wear with black skinny jeans and an obi belt. Try it, it will look lovely!
