This month I’m calling this PPP a Pink Pong Post! This stretchy top belongs to Samantha from Fake Fabulous. At first, I was a bit discouraged because my bustiness makes the black buttons on this top pop out demonstrating that it does not fit me. But, then I found the perfect concealer: a polka dot long scarf. Presto, button popper concealer and my ego wasn’t hurt any longer! I seem to always be coming up with tricks to adjust my more full figure, and that’s what it is. I shan’t be discouraged; rather I shall embrace what I have and figure (no pun intended!) out how to style accordingly. In the end, I feel preppy cute–this preppiness seems to be recurring often for me. In fact, a good friend recently remarked that she’s always thought of me as a bit preppy. Funny, as I never have. But, here I am, sporting a school girl take! Keep scrolling to see how Anna and Sam faired with this pink pong post….
Look at that!
My hair kind of fits into a pony tail. I see you!! Also, notice how you can’t see any buttons popping. I’m a concealer!
Sam from Fake Fabulous
It’s kind of funny. As I was having my little tantrum that the top was too small, Samantha mentioned I could wear it open. I never even thought of doing that, but look how perfect it looks done so. It turns the pink pong post into a vest. I love the bold pattern that Sam layered underneath, and of course she did. She’s both the master of layering and mixing prints!

Anna from Anna Island Style
Have I mentioned that Anna works at an art gallery? I think this fanciful, and very artistic styling exemplifies Anna’s line of work. Look at that gorgeous pink ruffle top. It’s so pretty. Yet as for me, I would never have thought to layer pink under pink, but it magically works. Anna is also a very bold pattern mixer always as proven with her artsy pants.
By the way, guess what!? It is such a small world. This month I was visited by one of Anna’s friends. He hand delivered a beautiful top for future ping pong posting. It was so neat to meet a friend of Anna’s. I love a small world! I hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Hong Kong Ben!!

love how you styled this and I feel your full figured pain.. gaping tops are my nemesis
Yep, us full figured women have to have all sorts of tricks up or sleeves!! Wink, wink!!
Love, Ann
Congrats on another successful #PPP Annie x I love the panic of how terrible it will be for at least one of us every time, and then the final result is always brilliant. Black and pink suit you so well, but hey girl I’m so green with envy about those amazing Stella McCartney shoes – wowzer! Thanks for hanging on in there with this one x

Of course! This exchange is always so fun–despite my size difference. And, yes, aren’t my shoes amazing! It’s like the first pair of high heels I’ve had in ages, but these ones work because they’re a flatform. I LOVE being two inches taller. It’s like the height I feel I should be! Hahah!
I need to embrace pink more often–especially bright pink!

Well Ann, no one would have guessed the buttons were straining!
The one way stretch of the fabric conceals this and it does not look “pulled” anywhere.
Bravo for that cute spotty tie.
Now I have to talk about those shoes…
Want want WANT!!!!!!!!!!!
How dare they be in Hong Kong and not on the end of my legs in Scotland?!?!…Booooo. :oP
Another fun, funky, cool, preppy, sexy and cheeky outfit.
You smashed it!

I am in love with my new high heels! It’s been ages since I’ve had an extra two inches, and this pair makes me feel the height I think I am! Haha!
If that little black tie of mine were to stray, you’d see some white blouse peeking through!! Hahah!
I do love the color of it though. So fun!! I need to get some fuchsia is my wardrobe–for sure.
Top coming back to you soon….
Love, Annie
You look very lovely, and have gorgeous legs (jealous, lol) I want your shoes too, hahahahaa.
I adore Samantha and Anna, too.
Besossssssssssss
Thank you so much!! Gotta embrace what we got, right?! Seems as if my shoes are the real hit though!!

You are looking VERY cute in your polka dot delights outfit. You are my favorite on this particular Ping Pong Post. Yes indeed those shoes are really cool.
Pink time for Pinky eh? These shoes seem to work for her too!
Thank you Jude! And yes, these shoes can now make an 8 hour day of work so yay for them! Oh, I love being just three inches taller. It’s fabulous! It’s like I was supposed to be 5’8″ but something went wrong! Haha!
The only way I can get away with this skirt at work though is with some very opaque black tights. Time to pull some of those tights out actually–the chill is here in Hong Kong!! Yay for that too. And with those tights pulled out maybe I’ll try the crazy orange paisley again!
Thank you Jude. 😀 GRIN 😀
