Plus size what are you wearing today

[Defeatthedebt]

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've ordered a black ponte dress and two pencil skirts so I can start wearing my snag tights. I'm hoping to wear something different to the office in London this week.

How do you all manage to look so relaxed in the photos?!
Even Diesel's standing on the loo pose looks relaxed. I take several pics of random bits of my bedroom, and occasionally drop my phone/iPad, before getting the mirror shot without my face but with my outfit.

That's nancy on the loo not me pickle, lol!!

Aha! The contortion confused me! I think Nancy wins the contorting medal!

Nancy are your lovely dungarees ford or denim please the colour looks fab and what height and dress size are you please. I am trying to loose some weight to get into the pinafore I have ordered from Whitestuff with the 20% off code. Love cords and dungarees at the min but not wore any.

@NancyEspana dont tell me your style by susie personal shopping thingy is in Bluewater? My sister works there!!! 😂

Yes it's me on the loo ! So proud 😂😂😂.

diesel, yes! It's at Bluewater! Does your sister make traybakes...?

Well nancy she's been in England now longer than she lived in ni, i believe the magic wears off after a while........ Although she makes a mean pavalova (when she's not asking me to send her Tayto cheese and onion crisps and vegetable roll!)

Oh man Tayto Cheese and Onion though...

I am poorly so lounging in an old tie dye caftan. Earlier on I got a parcel from Simply Be so tried on 2 work dresses 2 jackets a skirt and trousers. All formal work wear. Have had to buy a capsule wardrobe ready for starting my new job. First job I've had out of uniform even though I am late 50s. I love Snag tights too I intend to wear bright colours with my dark suits I especially love the Suffragette Purple ones 💜

Sorry to hear you're poorly 4cats. Congratulations on the new job!

I love that they are called Sufragette Purple. I remember commenting to a mum that her daughter had chosen all the sufragette colours for her colouring in and she looked at me as if I had two heads . Ha! Snag tights have validated my weirdness by calling their tights that.

I’ve just bought something that’s not jeans for the first time in about 10 years thanks to this thread.

I’ll let you know how I feel about that when I’ve tried it all on. 😀😬

Wow what a wedding dress!

I'm still recovering today but points to note

Home Bargains used to sell Tayto C&O

Where is everyone buying these pencil/tube skirts? I'm really unsure that they'll suit my massive pear shap but still want to try, particularly a thick jersey one with a long cardigan

Picked up Sainsbury's TU order this eve but too wrecked to even look at stuff until tomorrow.

Ah how are you doing buckeejit? Sorry, I meant to say earlier that I was sorry to hear you're poorly too. It's definitely doing the rounds.

I think the bigger Asdas in the London area also sell Tayto crisps! I'm definitely having a look next time I go there.

Let us know how the Tu delivery goes when you're up to it

The trends at the moment are everything oversized

I'm such a fashionista, Even when I'm naked I'm. Bang. On. Trend!

diesel 😂😂😂! Yep! You and me both!

I'm still in PJs, so will post a picture later.

Buckeejit I'll let you know what the Tu wines are like when I've collected them!

Not wines, sadly. Ones. As in skirts.

i'm an alternative kind of dresser. (goth/rocker type)

Uniform is either a hellbunny/lindybop swing dress (or skirt and top) over leggings with a cardigan/shrug.

or

shirt/tunic and harem pants or leggings/jeggings and cardigan.

today its the latter as i'm just lounging around.

Gap girlfriend jeans
Hush t shirt
M&S Navy vest top
M&S cardi
DM boots

This seems like the most marvellous thread on mumsnet, so I want to join in. Only problem is I’m terminally boring in my clothes at the moment. I used to be much more interesting, then lost about 8 stone, and now live in jeans, nerdy T-shirts, cosy jumpers and trainers. I also have a job where dressing smart is not needed and sometimes actively unhelpful.

But it’s so nice here I want to join in! So hello.

Today’s offering from your cheap and unimaginative correspondent.

Primark amazingly soft jumper (in shops now kids)
Primark stretch T underneath (for extra cosy)
Tu skinny jeans (best cheap jeans I know and I am so fussy about jeans)
DMs of joy

I’m hoping you will all inspire me to be more interesting. No pressure. I want to be more stylish but don’t know where to start.

Oh. I’m 5’8 (when I don’t slouch), and an 18, occasionally a 16 when fit is generous/stretchy. I feel I look a lot bigger though (think it’s my massive upper arms/shoulders combo, good for swimming, less good for getting clothes to hang nicely)

I bought this yesterday with 20% off and I’m in love. Even better I had to go down to an 18 as it’s quite oversized!

Inspired by this thread I had a bit of a shopping spree at TU. I am wearing this dress today with black thick tights and Fly London dark red calf length boots. I have seen the boots criticised on other style threads but I love them.

I would like to say I am the size of the model in the photo but alas no! The dress is just above the knee on me which is shorter than I’d like but my lovely colleague has already complimented me on my outfit.

Hope everyone is OK and having a good day.

I really like that dress @cerys

Whenever I go to my local Sainsburys, I'm normally uninspired by most of the offerings they choose to stock (my lovely jeans aside), but online looks much more interesting.

Standard work outfit, skirt creased as sat down all day!
