Recently I popped into my local Simply Be store with my mum after not being there since January and the new spring stock had arrived which made me super excited! I'd almost forgot how much I loved Simply Be. Obviously, I am not a size 10, and I probably never will be but I'm fine with that thanks to stores like Simply Be, New Look, H&M and ASOS. These stores all cater to bigger sizes making shopping for any sort of clothing really easy for us slightly curvier ladies.
I've bought around 7 or 8 pieces from Simply Be since I discovered it and I've never been let down. Every piece I have purchased has been amazing quality and I was glad to find somewhere that stocked bigger clothing sizes but didn't let it compromise the styles or not stock the things that are on trend. A lot of the time I find stores to make bigger sizes either lower quality or just have the same things in all the time, like they can't be bothered to update their clothes. I've never fully understood why I can go into a store looking for a nice summer dress to wear with tights and see lovely, pretty, feminine dresses in sizes that are too small for me and then go into the bigger sizes and find the same stuff I've seen in winter!
Thankfully, Simply Be isn't like that. Their clothes get updated every season AND, the most important part, for me at least, they don't make us feel singled out by only stocking plain things or more mature patterns. Like I said, their clothes at the moment are their Spring range and as soon as I walked in I found at least 4 things I wanted to buy there and then. They stocked mint, pinks, oranges, purples, blues, whites! I literally wanted everything.
I think the best thing about Simply Be is that they don't just cater to bigger sizes, they stock size 12 as well as going up to size 32, so every size and shape get the same items of clothing as each other. I tried on a pair of loose fitting trousers with white skull and cross bones on them and instantly fell in love. When I came out the woman that worked in the dressing room showered me with compliments, but they were sincere, we could tell because the conversation didn't end at me saying, "I'll take them!", we chatted on for a good 10 minutes about Sherlock! I've never encountered such amazing staff OR just beautiful dressing rooms and I hope they are some of the things that all Simply Be stores pride themselves on. No-one in that store is prejudice against anyone of any size and they make you feel incredibly relaxed. Before this, you would sooner catch me eating Coconut than trying something on in a store before I bought it but in Simply Be I didn't even think about it, it's such a relaxed atmosphere.
As for pricing of things, yes, some items are a little steep, but you know, you're paying for quality, something that will last you for ages even after wearing them all day every day. I 100% think it's worth it.
I literally couldn't glorify Simply Be enough, I really couldn't. I love everything about it. If I can find the stuff that I've got from them, I'll link it below so y'all can check it out. I'm not being sponsored by Simply Be at all (I wish!) but I do mean everything I've said. It's probably the best high street store I've ever shopped at... And I've shopped at a lot!
Thanks for being amazing, Simply Be! I'll be back in your stores soon enough!
Thanks for reading guys,
