Hi everyone, it's Karen from the Geordie Grammar. Welcome back to my channel. Today I've got
0:07
a Roman Originals clothing haul for you. I don't actually know if they call it Roman
0:12
Originals anymore, but it's Roman Clothing. Just for reference, I'm 5'4", I'm a size
0:19
18 to 20, I do have a large stomach, so you can get an idea of what the clothes would
0:25
look like on that kind of body. So I've got four tops and a dress to show you today. So
0:34
I'm just going to show you each item. I'll show you the item and then I'll try it on
0:39
and you can see what it looks like on us. So this is the first one. It is a pink and
0:45
white or pink and cream top with a v-neck. It's got short sleeves that are a little bit
0:55
sort of bell-like. It's a stretchy material and I got this in a size 20. It is 96% viscose
1:05
and 4% elastane, so that's where the stretch comes from. And it's got a little bit of Russian
1:12
detail on the shoulder there, which is quite nice. So we'll try that on and see what it
1:18
looks like. So this is what it looks like on. I'm just trying them all on with a pair
1:24
of jeans that I've got on from Roman. I really like this top. I think the print is really
1:30
nice. It's kind of a, like a paint splatter effect. I love the v-neck, always like a v-neck
1:38
I like the short sleeves. I'm not so keen on the flooty sleeves, but this one isn't
1:44
too bad because they are shorter than normal. I don't know whether I could have sized up
1:50
in this. This is a size 20. I don't know whether I could have maybe got it in a size
1:55
22 because there's not, it is stretchy, but it is quite, not fitting, but do you know
2:02
what I mean? So I'm not sure if I could have actually sized up in this one. I would probably
2:08
be quite happy to wear it like this, but I don't know if you can see, it's got like a
2:14
little kind of pleat detail here and it's pulling a little bit. So I think if it had
2:22
been in a larger size, that may have lay a little better. I'm not sure if the camera's
2:29
picking that up very well, but I do like the top. I think the colour is really pretty
2:36
I'm very happy with that. I'll put the links to all of these in the description box below
2:41
in case you want to go over and have a look. I wasn't gifted these at all. I did buy them
2:47
with my own money, but if you do click on a link below and you go through and buy anything
2:52
I will get a little bit commission because they will be affiliate links. So that is the
2:58
first top. This is the second one and it is another pink top. I'm really liking pink at
3:04
the moment. And this is a pink, it's kind of got a, what would you call that? Like a
3:10
broidery onglet detail. It's also got a v-neck. It's got the short, I don't know if you'd
3:16
call that a bell sleeve or a cap sleeve, but it is a short sleeve. And this one has got
3:21
the tie front detail, which I think can be quite flattering when you've got a large stomach
3:27
because it kind of camouflages it a little bit. Again, I got this in a size 20. I'll
3:34
just check what the material is. This is also 94% polyester and 6% elastane. So we'll try
3:42
this one on. So this is the second top and I really like this as well. I think I like
3:49
the length of it, even though it's kind of short and I don't always like showing my stomach
3:55
I think the tie bit kind of camouflages that a little bit. So you can see it is quite short
4:02
That's what it looks like from the back. But I think this is a lovely top. If you watched
4:09
a Marks and Spencer's video, try on video I did recently, I got a shirt from there and
4:15
I did kind of the tie front with the shirt. So it looked a little bit like this shape
4:20
And I think I really like that sort of styling, but the top is really, really pretty. I love
4:28
the broidery onglet detail. It does have buttons, but they are not functioning buttons
4:35
It is just a button detail. This one fits really nicely. The size 20 and I love the
4:42
colour again, sleeve length, just the right length. I don't like long sleeves because
4:49
they're always too long on me. I have short arms, I think, but I do like a short sleeve
4:55
So yeah, I'm really, I'm really happy with that. I really like that one. I think that
5:00
would, this makes a lovely outfit with the jeans. So yeah, that's a winner. So on to
5:07
the next one. Now for this one, I've moved away from the pink and I've gone on to blue
5:13
which I really like blue as well. This one has a little bit of a, I'd say that was maybe
5:19
a boat neck. I'm not sure if that's what you call it. Again, it's got short sleeves. It's
5:24
got kind of a, an abstract, I think you could call that like paint smudge as well. It is
5:32
navy blue and white. And this is from the Curve range. This one is longer line. Again
5:40
I got this in a size 20. I think I got everything in a size 20 actually, just to make sure
5:48
This is 96% viscose and 4% elastane. So we'll try this one on and see what that looks like
5:57
Okay. This is the navy blue and white one. It does fit. The 20 was the right size for
6:03
me. I like the short sleeve on it. I quite like the neck. I do prefer the neck, but because
6:10
this is a wider round neck, I think it looks a little bit better. Like I say, I think the
6:17
sizing was right for me. It does fit nicely. I don't think it goes so well with the straight
6:25
leg jeans I've got on. I think this would go better with maybe leggings. I do have some
6:34
Roman Bengaline crop trousers. I bought three pairs last year. Absolutely loved them. And
6:41
if you watched a recent decluttering video I did of me spring clothes, I showed them
6:47
on there and they're just the favourite trousers ever. I love them. And I think this top would
6:52
go really well with the navy ones I have. I've got some orange ones as well that it
6:57
will probably go with as well. I do like the top, but I don't like it as much as I like
7:03
that pink one that I've just had on, but I do like the colours. I like the blue and white
7:08
colour. So onto the last top. Now this one is also navy. It is navy and grey. It's a
7:16
little bit thicker than the ones I've just shown. So I think this would be better for
7:21
early spring when it is a little bit cooler, which it is at the moment. It certainly doesn't
7:26
look like it might be nearly spring outside, but I think it is spring now. 21st of March
7:31
Is that the beginning of spring? I think it may be. This is also in a size 20. This has
7:37
a zip detail, which is functional. You can zip it up and down. I really like the zip
7:43
detail on there. I do have another top that has that kind of zip detail in the front and
7:49
I like it. This one is a gold zip detail. Like I say, it's almost like a fleecy material
7:57
but a thin fleece. And I quite like that. And it's got stripes going across, which are
8:02
always a bit of a worry when you're a larger lady, because you just feel like it's going
8:07
to make you look bigger, but sometimes they don't. The material on this is 96% polyester
8:15
and 4% elastane. So again, it is stretchy and it's got a kind of a straight sleeve in
8:25
there. So we'll try this one on and see what that looks like. So I really like this one
8:31
as well. The sleeve length is really nice. It kind of comes to your elbow. I like that
8:38
I love this zip detail. It is quite cold on my neck though at the moment. It fits really
8:43
nicely. I don't think I would have wanted to have sized up or down on this one. It is
8:48
just a nice fit. The material feels lovely. It's lovely and soft. And I don't actually
8:55
think, I'm just looking in the mirror here, I don't actually think these zigzaggy stripes
9:00
across make us look any bigger than I already am. I actually really like this. This would
9:06
be a kind of an everyday top for me. It is just right up my street this. And I really
9:12
do like this zip detail. Like I said, it actually works. You can zip it up and down. I won't
9:17
zip it right down because it would be a little bit far. But yeah, I really like that top
9:22
I think that is so nice. Just a nice everyday top. Again, I'll leave the links to these
9:30
in the description box below. So the last item I got is a dress. And I'm on the lookout for a denim dress because denim
9:37
dresses seem to be in at the moment. They have them everywhere. And this one I saw is
9:43
absolutely lovely. It's got a v-neck. I don't think you can see it properly off the hanger
9:48
And I haven't ironed it. I've just literally took these straight out the bags. So I apologize
9:53
for that. It's got some lovely kind of embroidered, you'd probably call that embroidery on glee
10:00
on the sleeves, which I think is so pretty. It's got a, what would you call that, a gathered
10:06
detail at the sleeve end. It's got a ruched, what do you call it, ruched? It's got a shirred
10:16
back, which I like that because it's going to make it quite stretchy. And I like the
10:21
kind of bust detail on the front. So it kind of, it hangs from under the bust. And I think
10:28
this is a midi. It is quite a thin, it's denim look, I would say, rather than denim. And
10:36
it's quite thin, so you're not going to be too hot in it. Again, I got it in a size 20
10:44
and it is a hundred percent cotton. I think cotton is just denim, but yeah, it's just
10:51
the color. Correct us if I'm wrong. So yeah, we'll try this on and we'll see what that
10:57
looks like. Okay. The bust on this doesn't quite fit me right. And I don't know whether
11:05
it's too big or too small. I would have to wear a different bra with it because you can
11:13
see the bra there. And these feel like they would slip down your arms. Now, I don't know
11:21
whether you could wear it like that, but I don't think I would feel comfortable with
11:24
it off me, off my shoulders, if you see what I mean. I really like the sleeve. I think
11:29
that is so pretty. It fits round. I mean, it fits well apart from this not seeming to
11:36
fit quite right, but I don't know whether I've got the wrong bra on. So I'll just step
11:41
back and see if you can see. I'll just move my camera a little bit. So it is midi. It
11:49
comes halfway down between me, my knee and my ankle. I've just got my white trainers
11:55
on with it. I do actually like it. I think the shape is nice. It is very comfortable
12:04
really comfortable. I think this would be lovely to wear on a warm day. It is just so
12:10
comfortable. I'll be able to see what it looks like from the back when I look on camera when
12:16
I edit the video. But I just think for some reason, the bust bit doesn't look right
12:26
And I don't know, like I said, I don't know whether it's the bra I've got on or whether
12:30
it just doesn't fit me right round here. I would have to try it in maybe a smaller size
12:38
I don't know. I would have to say, but I do like the dress. I think this is a nice denim dress
12:45
I am going to be trying some more denim dresses on in the next few weeks. So I may mark them out
12:51
of 10 because this is the first one. I think I would give this maybe a seven out of 10 because
12:58
I just think it is so pretty. It is really pretty. I love this bit on the sleeves and I haven't seen
13:05
that when I've been looking online. I haven't seen that on many denim dresses. I think I said
13:10
this was a 20 as well. So that was all of the items that I got from Roman. I did buy them online
13:18
because there's not many Roman shops around in the North East or I haven't come across many
13:25
which is a shame because I do prefer to go into shop and try them on in there rather than buying
13:31
them online. But you have to do what you have to do. So I hope you enjoyed that try on haul. Let me
13:38
know in the comments below what you thought of them. Have you bought anything from Roman that
13:42
you really liked and that I might like? I wouldn't mind you pointing that out. And I will put links
13:48
to the video that I mentioned before where I tried on, I don't think I've tried them on. I think I
13:54
showed the absolutely gorgeous Roman Bengaline crop trousers. They are just the best trousers
14:01
ever. And I can't wait to start wearing them again. So I'll put a link to that video just up
14:06
here. If you haven't already subscribed to my videos and you like this kind of thing, then
