Are you too old to wear short skirts or dresses when you're over 40? And on top of that are plus size? Of course not!!! If you want to wear a short skirt or dress then you should. I'm 42 this summer and I'm wearing short dresses, skirts and shorts all the time both in the summer and winter.
I saw this cute animal print dress from Pink Clove in Asos' sale section and I have a weakness for shift dresses as I think they are so easy to wear as everyday dresses. And animal print is one of my favourite prints that I can use with so much else so I know that this dress can be worn on its own like I do here on a warm day or with tights and a denim jacket if it's a cooler day.
I love the length of this dress. It comes to a few inches above my knee and is perfect on me. I think it's really flattering and shows off my legs. Cause I really like my legs so why shouldn't I show them off?
The fabric is good quality. Not too thin and for £10 I would say it's an amazing bargain. They still have most sizes left as well and I'm wearing size 26 here and it's a good fit. It's a lot of stretch in the dress so it's a really comfortable dress. I was wearing this dress when I was in Norfolk last weekend. Wore it out sightseeing in Cromer, walking along the beach, went to the pub for a drink and a snack and wore it when I came back to the campsite.
I like the sleeves as well which means I can use this dress a lot when the autumn and winter comes with layers.
These amazing earrings are also from Asos and can be found here. I love these! They are very me!!!

Who says you have to compromise style when you go camping? ;)
I've got cellulite above my knee and not "perfect" legs, but so what? I've got a massive double chin and I don't go around hiding that either, so why should I hide my legs? I think my legs are doing a great job carrying me around everywhere I go and take me doing everything I want to do. So when it's it too warm to wear trousers, leggings or tights why should we need to cover them up just because we have reached a certain age or because we are over a certain weight? Be comfortable, be practical and get your legs out as much as you like to as it's your body and your choice. :)
