Plus size what are you wearing today

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?

Excuse the cleaning products, cheeky wipes boxes and nappy pail! I usually edit them out, but couldn't today!

ringletsandtwiglets · 26/10/2019 09:25

@fizzyfizz, you look incredible! I love the lace and the way the dress ruches up the side.

Nancy, have a wonderful holiday- I hope it's raining a little less for you, than it currently is here. What colour is your jumper? Aubergine purple? It's gorgeous.

NancyEspana · 26/10/2019 09:47

Thanks ringlets! Yes, it's aubergine. I look so drab posting immediately after the wedding pics 😂.

Here is my dress, but the worst pictures. I had to take a photo of a photo iyswim, so dreadful pics!

We got married in 2011, during peak strapless wedding dress! I love sleeves on wedding dresses though! I also love a shorter wedding dress. I love
'em all! If money had been no object, I'd have been one of those brides like Ellie Goulding who changes into a new dress every five minutes 😂.

Aww lovely @NancyEspana I love your flowers too. I made the mistake of trying to tell my florist that small bouquets were fine for my BMs but I actually wanted a big one & got a small one Sad

Does anyone have Pascal DMs? I'm thinking of buying some but not sure if they would look any better with my chunky legs & they are the same as my chelsea style. If anyone has a photo of lace up DMs with a dress & chunky legs I'd love to see it! My offer expires in 3 hours so its decision time & not sure if I should try them on in a real shop first, aargh!

NancyEspana · 26/10/2019 10:02

Thanks buckeejit! I loved my flowers, but they fell to pieces the next day, sadly.

Should have said, my dress was a 14, but I think I was a 12 at the time. I had it taken in at the top and also had the hem shortened and straps added, as I ncan't wear strapless. Big rugby player's shoulders, even when I was a lot slimmer 😂.

I haven't got Pascal DMs. Mine are called JoyLynn. They're more like desert boots.

Defeatthedebt · 26/10/2019 10:11

Guess who finally tidied enough to take a picture Grin

Today I'm wearing some blue jeggings from Evans turned up a little with a leopard print top from yours tucked in and primark white mens trainers.

Happy Saturday everyone!

Ah hurrah op! Love your outfit! Very cool. You look fab.

I also can't believe how nice and tidy it is under your bed! All the beds in our house are dumping grounds-- used for storage.

NancyEspana · 26/10/2019 10:33

Strike through fail!

Here we here's me. We look about 12, if you could see our faces. 'Twas 25 or so years ago, and we were about 25. It's not a great picture, photo of a photo.

SillyBillyBandy · 26/10/2019 13:22

Love that outfit defeat! I'd love a top like that but can't carry them off well
Just bought this pleated dress from New Look curve but decided it's too wet so went with jeans instead. Out for lunch with the girls

@sillybillybandy I have that dress in a dark wine colour and also red leopard print. I haven't been brave enough to wear either of them yet though!
I'm on a spa weekend with my sisters so have mostly been wearing a swimming costume and robe so definitely not photo ready. I have managed to spend nearly £200 at George online whilst I've been here! Seeing all your pictures has made me realise I need to up my game.

ringletsandtwiglets · 26/10/2019 13:49

Oh Pickle, such a romantic dress! Look at your tiny waist too! I love seeing your dresses, and a little jealous that you’ve all been married so long.

I’ve just bought a pretty white top and chunky grey cardi from M&S but here is today’s outfit.

Navy blue sweater from Tu Size 24, bought earlier this month.
M&S denim skirt
Grey Snag 80 denier

I’ve also bought these tights- pricey but they don’t ladder or snag because they’re a kind of cotton. They are SO comfy and last years.

Can't believe I missed an engagement and all the tray bake talk! Another NI-dweller here! Congrats @ringletsandtwiglets, lovely news and a beautiful ring.

Defeatthedebt · 26/10/2019 14:14

I just noticed all the NI talk and from a few usernames I guessed use must be from here. So am I Grin

Ringlets that does not look like a size 24 woman in that cardigan! I'm very envious of your legs and that skirt! I'm just building up my confidence with the help of snag tights to wear a similar shape outfit. Just need to do a bit of sewing, then all being well I'll post a pic!

Client- You, and everyone else, look so lovely in skinny jeans! I've got dumpy lumpy knees so it's not a good look for me!

ClientListQueen · 26/10/2019 14:50

They're v pull you in type jeans GrinGrin
I'm 5ft 10 and a size 16, sometimes 18 in tops as v top heavy (34K but small waist so annoying)

picklemebrains · 26/10/2019 14:55

You tall ladies are perfectly proportioned- it's ridiculous to be classed as plus size!

My SIL was exactly the same measurements as me, when I was her bridesmaid. They fitted my dress to her. She was two inches taller though, so she looked gorgeous and I looked dumpy! I've never been overweight, just undertall!

ClientListQueen · 26/10/2019 14:59

I weigh heavy according to the doctor who insisted the scales were broken 16 and a half stone

NowWeSuckingDiesel · 26/10/2019 15:46

@Defeatthedebt and @peachgreen, so my cryptic clues for Nancy for where i live weren't cryptic at all for you pair of right eejits! At's us nai. Grin
