Hi guys,
I love browsing the what are you wearing today thread but being plussize (Size 26) I often can't take inspiration from it. I wondered if any other size 18+ would like to share what they are wearing today?

Oh love that outfit sillybillysandy! You look amazing. Hope the night out was good.

I should be having a lie in, but I seem to have lost the ability to do that Hmm.

I'll be up in a bit. Will post a pic when I am.

NancyEspana · 19/10/2019 08:07

I'm visiting family today and it is fucking freezing here, (scuse swears and all that). So I'm in All The Layers.

No loo seat today at least 😂.

Brogues - same as yesterday (Office)
Denim pinafore dress - New Look
Tshirt underneath - borrowed from sister!
Jumper - Asos

Everyone looks so slim!

SillyBillyBandy · 19/10/2019 09:52

Smile thank you for the lovely comments.

I agree everyone looks so slim in the pics! I'm a 20 and 5ft9. And made sure it was a good angle BlushGrin

WombleishofThigh · 19/10/2019 10:04

Loving the inspirational pics! You all look fab! I look like a fifth-hand sack of frumpy potatoes in everything I wear.

NowWeSuckingDiesel · 19/10/2019 10:24

I'm definitely not slim, size 20 and only 5ft 5 (and a precious half!) I think its important for all us plus size 18's and above to stop apologising for our bodies but dress to love ourselves not to hide lumpy tummies or a saggy ass, but to flatter and highlight the bits you like, and soon, love about yourself. I'm a work in progress in this, i have been all sizes you could possibly imagine, and hating myself for it. I'm learning, slowly, to be the best me, for everyone i love, i need to love myself first.

Please everyone, go easy on yourselves, lets all genuinely compliment each other and realise we are not second class citizens just because we are not the same as the airbrushed fake bodies on tv etc...

Now, can someone give me a hand to get off this soap box!!

Defeatthedebt · 19/10/2019 10:53

NowWeSuckingDiesel

I could not agree more! We all have the right to exist in our body and love it just as it is now!

I'm terms of outfits today I'm in an all black base layer (consisting of leggings and a long sleeve top) with the dogtooth jacket I posted up thread on top and some white primark trainers. Just running some errands and then it's a cosy afternoon for me Smile.

I promise I will post pictures soon! But my room is such a tip I just can't because the background would look so bad Grin

I love all the outfits and different styles that have been posted so far and like someone said up thread am hoping that lots of us can get up the courage to post some more photos.

Have a lovely weekend everyone

Yes Diesel!! No apologies! Smile

picklemepopcorn · 19/10/2019 11:43

Here we go... still need practice at the photos!

I'm wearing an 'homage to BonMarché.

Same ol' straight black jeans with the comfiest (and possibly loudest) jumper in the world. It hangs brilliantly and ends at just the right place.

I love your jumper!

NancyEspana · 19/10/2019 13:02

I love that jumper popcorn! You look great.

NancyEspana · 19/10/2019 13:03

Yay! Looking forward to pics op. I edit my photos to hide mess Wink.

Adollop · 19/10/2019 13:23

Love that jumper!

Also love Nancy's look.

picklemepopcorn · 19/10/2019 13:50

Thank you! I've had a few complements! It's a lovely shape, hangs wide then has a shaped hem.

ringletsandtwiglets · 19/10/2019 16:32

I LOVE this thread! It's great to see where you all get your clothes from. My nearest Evans closed, my nearest New Look doesn't stock plus size any more and it suddenly became difficult to try on clothes. I'm a bit of a funny shape, a huge ball on stilts (size 24, big boobs and stomach, strangely skinny legs).

Today, I'm wearing George at Asda light grey tie-bottom waffle top, dark grey Primark vest underneath, a crepey black skirt from M&S and new slate Snag tights.

Everyone raves about Snag tights, but I don't like them as much as I thought I would. I think I prefer the thick cotton/wool Autograph ones from M&S. They're £9.50 a pair, but so comfy and last for ages.

ringletsandtwiglets · 19/10/2019 16:35

Quick snap!

ShyAmy333 · 19/10/2019 16:43

ringletsandtwiglets what brand are those?

ringletsandtwiglets · 19/10/2019 16:46

The tights, Amy? These are my new Snag ones. Slate, and 80 denier (I think.... the thickest ones they do.)

NancyEspana · 19/10/2019 16:59

ringletsandtwiglets

You have amazing legs!

I've ordered some tights from Snag too, which I think may have arrived while I was away. I'm weirdly excited seeing as they're only tights...saddo that I am Grin. I've also gone 80 denier for autumn.

ringletsandtwiglets · 19/10/2019 17:02

Nancy, I think I love you

ShyAmy333 · 19/10/2019 17:43

I'll be investing in a pair

WombleishofThigh · 19/10/2019 17:58

I've been to Bonmarche (and learned to spell it correctly Grin) and bought two pairs of the Susie slim leg jeans in black and dark denim, 27" leg and they are a perfect length on me at 5'3". If they wear well enough and don't go baggy or fade too quickly, I will probably buy more before they disappear. The Sara, which looked nice online, have a part elasticated back waist, which I don't like.

picklemepopcorn · 19/10/2019 18:29

That's good to know, Wombleish!

I really fancy combining the snag 80denier with their coloured fishnets. The photos look amazing! I just need to pick my colours carefully!

HabbyHadno · 19/10/2019 18:35

Hi all. So here for this thread!! I'm a size 22 and tend to have three outfits I rotate. Today I'm in some Tesco jeans, matalan long vest top and a slouchy batwing jumper I got from
ASOS maternity when I was pregnant. I just got a lovely dress from New Look plus that I'll pair with my beloved Snag tights.

NancyEspana · 19/10/2019 19:47

I went for 'beach bum' (teal), mustard and navy. I think they're here! Need to climb out from my dcs who are using me as a chair so I can get them out and look at them.
