I love U.K plus size retailers in general, and Asos Curve in particular.
They straddle the line of being very trendy without being disposable. It
doesn't hurt that they embrace trends I will probably always love, like
peter pan collars, military inspired buttons, and pussy bows(though I do
squick out a little saying pussy bow and prefer the term neck bow). I
haven't yet purchased anything from their site, because I've been a little
nervous about international shipping, but man do I love to drool over their
selections. So for my first 'What I want' inspiration post, I knew they were
the store I wanted to go with. Such gorgeous clothes and accessories.

I chose a collar dress in a neutral color and retro accessories. I like how the
buttons on the shoes echo the buttons on the bodice. The leather jacket adds
a bit of an edge to the rest of the ensemble to avoid looking too sugary sweet.
I went back and forth on the necklace, I worried for a bit it might compete
with the scalloped collar, but I think the styling is simple enough(no charms or
beads)that it works without detracting. I would probably wear this dress with
my hair away from my face, in a chignon or top knot, to show off those cute
bee earrings, and accentuate the detailed neckline.
