The curvy fashion fan, who is from the UK, nabbed a collection of stunning co-ords, as well as a leopard print dress that will look perfect for a variety of occasions.

To kick off her haul, Rebecca rocked a white matching co-ord - a beautiful £18 top with a matching £29.50 skirt.

Thrilled at the outfit, she explained: “Starting off with the broidery co-ord set. Everything is super generous, I definitely could have sized down.
“It really is such a special fabric which warrants the higher price point for F&F.
“I also think these pieces would look so nice individually as well.”
For outfit number two, Rebecca modelled a stunning co-ord set - a £19.50 shirt and a £19.50 pair of trousers.

The fashionista beamed: “I’m so happy I got my hands on this set.
“I just think this looks so premium, you could also style it in many different ways, such a gorgeous quality, super soft, it’s also super generous so you definitely don’t need to size up.”

She then wore a pink co-ord, which is incredibly roomy and perfect for bloated days.
Rebecca tucked the £18 shirt into the £22.50 matching shorts, as she added: “Another lovely co-ord set. The top isn’t lined but the shorts are.
“They’re generous. The shirt has elastic at the bottom so you can roll it up and create a bit of a puff sleeve.”
Whilst Rebecca wasn’t totally convinced by the next outfit, she praised its designer feel.
Reasons to shop supermarket fashion
When looking for new pieces to add to your seasonal wardrobe, or update your basics, there's no need to spend hours walking around clothes shops, or scrolling online. Just pick up a dress or two alongside your fruit and veg...
They’re convenient - Chances are you visit your supermarket more times than a shopping centre or high street.
It’s affordable - For basics to more fashion-led pieces, supermarkets are leading the way for budget fashion that doesn’t look cheap.
They’re more on-trend that you think - With a customer database larger than the average high street store, shops like ASDA, Sainsbury's and Tesco are able to cater to the markets and predict trends in a lot more areas than just food supply.
They fit well - Fits and lengths often come with a little more modesty in mind. Fabrics are often highly practical too—think plenty of 100% cotton that can be thrown into the washing machine without thought.
She wore an £18 leopard print top, alongside a £19.50 pair of matching trousers and explained: “To be honest I’m on the fence, personally I wouldn’t wear them together.”
Regardless of this, she admitted: “I love how designer-esque it feels.”
The leopard print theme continued as Rebecca then showed off her new £25 animal print dress.
The F&F fan shared: “I thought this satin leopard print dress was amazing.
Is supermarket fashion the new high street?
DEPUTY Fashion Editor Abby McHale weighs in:
The supermarkets have really upped their game when it comes to their fashion lines. These days, as you head in to do your weekly food shop you can also pick up a selection of purse-friendly, stylish pieces for all the family.
Tesco has just announced a 0.7 per cent increase in the quarter thanks to a 'strong growth in clothing' and M&S has earnt the title of the number one destination for womenswear on the high street.
Asda's clothing line George has made £1.5 million for the supermarket in 2023, 80 per cent of Sainsbury's clothes sold at full price rather than discounted and Nutmeg at Morrisons sales are also up 2 per cent in the past year.
So what is it about supermarket fashion that is becoming so successful?
Apart from the clothing actually being affordable, it's good quality too - with many being part of schemes such as the Better Cotton Initiative.
A lot of the time they keep to classic pieces that they know will last the customer year after year.
Plus because they buy so much stock they can turn around pieces quickly and buy for cheaper because of the volumes.
“Very versatile, you could wear it with a cropped jumper in the winter with some boots, you could wear it casually like this, or even dress it up.”
And for the final item of her F&F haul, Rebecca showed off a pair of £18 trousers, as she said: “They are such nice trousers. This is what I wanted as an everyday look.
“I think these trousers are so nice, so comfy, I love the colour.”
FASHION FANS RAVE
The Instagram clip, which was posted under the username @stylingwithrebecca, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 35,100 views.
