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?

Yes they are doing one now! Can't remember which colours etc but they are def doing one

FruitSaladSandwich · 30/10/2019 14:43

Thanks CLQ and pickle

I’ve ordered E, short F (only available in black I think) and F so hopefully one of those will be the right size and the others will be usable until I destroy them!

ClientListQueen · 30/10/2019 14:43

Checked the website - only in black I think

My Snag tights still haven’t been delivered and it’s over a week now. It’s starting to feel like an unreasonable amount of time to wait.

TheReluctantCountess · 30/10/2019 15:24

Does anyone else find that work-type trousers from Evans have rubbish hems which always come down?

NowWeSuckingDiesel · 30/10/2019 16:25

pickle don't ditch that jumper it looks absolutely fantastic on you!!

And to all you in your CBA outfits, they look fancy to me!

buckeejit · 30/10/2019 17:57

Just caught up & loving all the outfits, even & especially the CBA ones. Most days I am CBA

@picklemebrains have you got your Sainsbury's receipt? If so please could you check if the loud skirt had 25% taken off the original price & then half price or half price & then 25% taken off? I'm sure it's the former which excites me but dh chucked our receipt from t'other night so can't check.

@poorremus what shape & season are you? I'm thinking of booking an online one. I don't need glasses but really want some & am eager for the glasses session which I need an original session for! 😂

I may have just ordered 3 pairs of snag tights. Smile Black, navy and burgundy (which is very brave for me!)
My 17 year old DD said she really liked my dress from yesterday, as did a super stylish colleague.
Today I wore a denim pinafore, navy tights, the Fly London boots and a blue patterned top.
Working from home tomorrow so I’m not sure what I’ll wear for that, but will make an effort to wash my hair!

Hope everyone is ok on this lovely thread. There’s a new one in Style and Beauty about scarves and I can’t work out if it’s humorous or if people are being unkind!

picklemebrains · 30/10/2019 18:20

Buckeejit, the skirt was reduced from £20 to £6. I bought it in store, not online, so I don't think the 25% was relevant. Have you got that one too?

MrsPnut · 30/10/2019 18:25

I have my burgundy snag tights on today, picture taken before lunch in office toilets. I had been up for 7 hours at this point.

Plus size what are you wearing today
picklemebrains · 30/10/2019 18:27

Is that a trim or a necklace on your top, Mrs P? I thought it was a complicated necklace, but it was the camera strap!Grin

PlaymobilPirate · 30/10/2019 19:01

Has anyone bought any of the pinafore dresses from TU? I've got my eye on a navy patterned one and quite like the red belted one too but not sure how they'd look on. I'm a 5'2 size 16

MrsPnut · 30/10/2019 19:01

It’s a necklace, my favourite one

picklemebrains · 30/10/2019 19:16

It's great with that top, Mrs P!

buckeejit · 30/10/2019 19:26

@picklemebrains it's still relevant as 25% off I store too! If you've still got your receipt please would you check. Or I'll have to go get something on the sale just to check!

@PlaymobilPirate I have bought the navy patterned pinafore! Don't think it's the right thing for me as fabric is too thick but will try it on in the morning.

I've bought far too much in the way of clothes of late so have to return some as don't want to be with stuff I won't wear so may ask for opinions tomorrow morn. We have a small spare bedroom that I use as a dressing room & it's packed with clothes so I need to be picky!

picklemebrains · 30/10/2019 19:30

It just says £6, Buck!

ShowerOfShite · 30/10/2019 19:30

ASOS have 20% off everything today.

buckeejit · 30/10/2019 19:32

@MrsPnut - good colour coordination! Where did you get your skirt please? Looks good. I'm thinking there might be a chance that I could wear a pencil skirt after all! Shock

picklemebrains · 30/10/2019 19:44

I don't really need a red tube skirt, sadly.

buckeejit · 30/10/2019 19:48

@picklemebrains Ah boo! Thanks though I thought it would still have taken 25% off the £6-nothing after the subtotal? I'm wondering if it's something to do with the fact it wasn't half price.

Sorry to harp on but I'm mad keen for a bargainous bargain! Grin

picklemebrains · 30/10/2019 19:50

This was yesterday, and I don't think the 25% was advertised.

NowWeSuckingDiesel · 30/10/2019 19:55

@buckeejit if you buy something from tu and its in the sale you get 25%off the sale price. This has definitely happened for me at the sainsburys at sprucefield. Hope this helps!

MrsPnut · 30/10/2019 20:23

@buckeejit It's from Next, new season and got it this week. I got this charcoal and also in navy. The top is also from Next.

ClientListQueen · 30/10/2019 20:31

Ooh my new snag tights have arrived

picklemebrains · 30/10/2019 20:36

Ooh! Nice?
