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?

I'm torn between bottle green, mustard and purple. I was going to get beach bum and black nets.
Hmm.

NancyEspana · 19/10/2019 20:46

I've just had a look at them and they look lovely and thick, so hopefully quite warm for winter.

The beachbum is a nice colour popcorn. I think it would look great with fishnets. The mustard is a little less yellow than I imagined, which I quite like. It's quite a muted shade. The navy are, well, navy Grin. Useful all the same though and I got 10% off for ordering the three.

picklemepopcorn · 19/10/2019 20:56

I've just gone for 5 pairs! Free postage, 15% off. The mustard will look great with my jumper. Maybe under black linen cropped trousers.
Excited now!

NancyEspana · 19/10/2019 21:35

Hurrah! Who knew tights would be so exciting?!

Divebar · 19/10/2019 21:52

Damn you ladies! Now I’m off to order tights. Smile

NancyEspana · 19/10/2019 22:32

Sorry divebar not sorry Grin.

Not ready for photos yet!
Today I wore this jumper with a pale blue Boden Breton underneath, dark blue straight leg jeans from M & S and grey suede Chelsea boots with little silver stars on the back of the heel (White Stuff last year). Not the most stylish outfit but it was freezing here today!

That sounds really neat, always. Wish I could do neat. And layers. Hmm .

ringletsandtwiglets · 20/10/2019 10:49

I'm jealous of you ladies with normal feet. I have awful wide ones, so can only get my feet into extra extra wide shoes, which normally look like medically-prescribed ones!

I'm lounging around the house today, housework and Sunday dinner, so wearing a HUGE fawn-brown sweater from Tesco, a 'secret support' vest from Primark and cute cream with black polka-dots and lace edged pj shorts from Primark too.

NancyEspana · 20/10/2019 10:54

Morning lovely ladies!

Ugh, that wasn't very MN of me was it? But it's such a nice thread.

Any who, not convinced by my outfit today, but it's cold and we're going to a NT property today, so will be outside. I also have to take dc to an activity this morning and while it's indoors, I always get freezing waiting round for it to finish.

Top is TU (from eBay)
Jeans are Topshop (also eBay)
Boots are DMs (also eBay 😂)
Necklace as before

I am an eBay addict.

Nancy, you look appropriately cosy and snug. You also have your very own pair of amazing legs!

WombleishofThigh · 20/10/2019 11:00

Nancy, I agree, you have fab legs, I'm so envious! Smile

NancyEspana · 20/10/2019 11:21

Ah thanks you two!

I do not have an enviable torso. I don't think Homer Simpson would envy my tummy 😂.

ringletsandtwiglets · 20/10/2019 11:32

I think we're a similar shape, Nancy. God bless big jumpers. I love bubble hem tops too- they can be quite forgiving.

NancyEspana · 20/10/2019 11:34

Grin ringlets. God bless oversized items for top halves!

SillyBillyBandy · 20/10/2019 11:35

Not sure this is my best outfit but dressing for comfort Blush

Evans top,joules leggings and some boots when I get downstairs.

SillyBillyBandy · 20/10/2019 11:36

And forgot to add pics!

Ringlets i have the feet problem. It's not the width for me, as much as the shock absorption. I need very squidgy soles or it hurts (I'm on the find me some cushioned boots thread, too). I'm sporting a pair of hotters today. Used to love shoes. Oh well.

I would love nice legs, but console myself with nice shoulders instead. I have a broad back and wide shoulders, which makes it easier to disguise my weight! My pins need to stay hidden though!

LadyTabasco · 20/10/2019 11:37

ringletsandtwiglets I also have wide feet, need the eee fitting. Found Primark have a lovely selection in a wide fit.

picklemepopcorn · 20/10/2019 11:38

Ooh, SillyBilly, I love that dress! Gorgeous pattern!

NancyEspana · 20/10/2019 11:46

sillybilly

I love that. Your dressing for comfort is like me making an effort 😂.

SillyBillyBandy · 20/10/2019 11:50

Thanks both! I'm out for Sunday lunch so comfort for all the roast potatoes. Otherwise I'd be in pjs 😂

This thread is making me realise how lovely everyone looks, and how stylish people are who aren't a size 10

Which I knew! But it's great to see 😍 so many examples in one place

justchecking1 · 20/10/2019 13:12

I love the inspiration on these threads, but where are all the photos?! Be proud of your fab selves!

Today I'm wearing Toast jeans, Oliver Bonas fan print top and Kurt Geiger boots. With red lipstick of course! Red lipstick may be a bit much for a Sunday but who cares?!

Ooooh justchecking I LOVE your outfit! You look fab.

This thread is amazing. Love it.

Enjoy lunch out sillybilly! Sound delicious.

picklemepopcorn · 20/10/2019 13:16

Ooh, that's very sharp, Just! I'm rocking lovely purple lipstick today. I'll do a photo next time I'm upstairs!
