                                                               And im wearing size small

Military Shirt Dress $119.95
Cindy said- is a bit small across the boobs on me, but it is a gorgeous dress, I did try the S and to be honest, not alot of change in the top, it was still snug, but the skirt part was way too big.
Bernadette said- the shirt dress i love!!! its HOT! its great for gigs or work! it fits nice all over it does pucker a little around the hips, but i do love this dress


I said -This was nice, the belt was really nice with it
Zip me up sexy dress $99.95
Cindy said- again snug across the boobs ( have this in the original zip me baby dress, in an XS and it is better fitting than this one ) but it is gorgeous on.. 
Frill Pleat Dress $179.95
Cindy said- snug but fits well..
I said- this was nice, very supportive
Bead Neck Waterfall Dress $79.95
Cindy said- fits well again,  very cute.
I said- i didnt really like it but it was really nice, very flattering, im actually wearing a medium in this they didnt have the small
Kate saidreally like this, just would never wear it and it would be better if the sleeves were shorter

Jungle Queen Maxi $119.95
                                                                       im wearing the small
Cindy's wearing the xs and looks stunning in it
Spliced Vinyl Cropped Jacket $139.95
im wearing the medium in this picture, its nice but not me


Cindy is wearing the small in this pic but she says she couldve fit in the xs but they didnt have one in stock
I said- this dress was gorgeous, its the perfect little black dress

Bernadette said- love the bling dress, its sexy ! nice material as its a little giving and the mesh just shows enough skin its a nice feature, as is the bling :) and it doesnt look tacky
Kate said- Loooooooove this dress......really flattering on but not in the picture!
Cowl Neck Ponte Dress $99.95
I said- i didn't like this dress on me, it just didn't sit right
Kate said- It wasn't my style. The bottom part was great but I think the top made my top half look bigger. 
Miss Burlesque Jacket $139.95 Miss Burlesque Skirt $79.95

I said- the jacket was really nice, it fitted well and was very comfy, The skirt was nice but it showed alot of my belly, it would be nicer with a longer jacket i think. Im actually wearing the medium jacket and size 16 skirt.

City Chic through the sizes

I was given a great idea by my good friend Cindy about getting photos of lovely ladies wearing the same outfit in different sizes. I will try and organise volunteers who head into city chic regularly and will up load photos to show  what the city chic clothes look like on real people. STAY TUNED

Change Room Confessions - Snake Charmer

JUNGLE QUEEN MAXI $119.95
this was gorgeous on, im wearing the size small, its nice how the straps are thick enough to wear a bra comfortably under, its a little low cut so im not sure if i will pin it or try and buy a low cut bra

ONE SHOULDER ANIMAL TOP $69.95
LATICE STITCH SKINNY JEAN $89.95
the new skinny jeans are to die for, they are so comfy i wanted to wear them home. The top is the same as the other ones that have come out just a different pattern, it comes with a detachable strap you can put on if you desire

PRETTY RUFFLE JACKET $99.95
the jacket was really nice, more fawn in colour than the website, 3/4 sleeves which will be nice for summer and it was just long enough, a really flattering jacket

STRIPE CROP TOP WITH CAMI $49.95
I wouldn't normally try this on but the girls begged me. The colours are really pretty but its just a cami with the separated stripe top on top of it, to be honest i don't think this is a plus size top, i was sucking it in and had to tuck in my love handles.

COBALT SPLASH TOP $49.95
this is a great casual top, its really soft and quite flattering.If i bought this i would've gone up a size to the one in this picture

RUFFLE BEADED TOP $59.95
the colour of this top is gorgeous, its a great top if you want it to hide your lumps and bumps

VELOUR DIVINE DEMI MAXI $199.95
this dress was STUNNING i wish i had somewhere to wear it, i felt like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman
Monotone Stripe Tunic $79.95 (wearing the sml)
This tunic was nice but its virtually the same as all their other tunics but a different pattern

Jade Animal Top $59.95 (wearing the sml)
This top was nice, city chic have brought this top out before but in different colours

Bling Neck Alexa Dress $99.95 
This dress is beautiful, the perfect little black dress, very similar to the Roxanne dress but the Alexa I think is more classy
Macrame Woven Panels Jumper $79.95
I dint like this and it definatley needs a cami under it, i didnt wear one so i could show everyone the detail on it, im wearing the med and it felt small so definatley go a size up

All Class Dress $159.95
This dress is ALL CLASS it is gorgeous, i love how it sinches in at the waist, im wearing the small, the straps are permanent and i would think about cutting them off and making it strapless

Silver Siren Samantha Dress $179.95
This dress was nice but it was a bit of a let down for me. Itries the small and there was no way it could be done up, the medium squished my boobs and the large fitted fine but was a bit loose up top, you definatley need to go up 1 or 2 sizes in this dress, not as flattering as the All Class dress

Caramel Military Jacket $99.95
This was nice im wearing the medium and if i bought this i wouldve got the large


Watch out wallet- Checking out the Snake Charmer range today

The jacket was really comfortable and very flattering, I tried it on in a medium and the pants are a 16, they were a little tight but the were comfy aswell

This was nice, it was nice material and not as clingy as i first thought, this is a medium and i wouldn't go any smaller i don't think. The pants you cant see very well but they were worth the mention, im wearing the 16's the top of them are a little tight but overall they are really comfy.

confessions of a city chic addict

What can I say, I have a city chic addiction.

Ever since city chic opened approx 5 years ago i have been a frequent visitor to my local city chic store. The lovely ladies have dressed me for my engagement, my honeymoon, my pregnancy well just about every occasion I can think of. 99.9% of my wardrobe is city chic and I was very privileged with an invite out to dinner a couple of years ago to a VIP dinner for there biggest spending shoppers.

I will proudly stand up and say "hello my name is Stacey and I  have a City Chic addiction"
