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?

This thread is definitely affecting me (in a good way). I’m lying in bed with my wardrobe open scanning the sea of grey rail and trying to think what I’m going to wear tomorrow. Normally it would be whatever treggings and shapeless jumper combo I first came to hand in the morning. It will probably still be that since I’m running an after school eco club that’s going to involve a lot of soil and worms and stuff tomorrow, so maybe not the day for my prettiest dresses!

I’ve also excavated right down to the bottom of the ironing basket today in an attempt to get more of a grip on what clothes I actually own. I think I’m going to attempt a wardrobe reorganisation/clear out in the not too distant future and try to put some outfits together.

OvertiredandConfused · 03/11/2019 21:59

I’m sure it would @NancyEspana. I am a 40 DD and there is definitely space left! Not sure whether I will wear a cami underneath it for work or not.

I will try harder to get a photo tomorrow

ClientListQueen · 03/11/2019 22:23

I've ordered a few bits
Wallis utility shirt in grey (I have green and berry!)
Blue coatigan from next
F&F contour jeans (random buy)
Office double buckle boots - I'm living in my pair, and they're on sale

Outfit for tomorrow is popsy Amy dress, black snag tights and above office boots (the old pair!)

buckeejit · 03/11/2019 22:29

@OvertiredandConfused love that dress & not to £££ which is great

I may need the leopard print at least! I am large of nork & low neck style like this works for me. Excited but won't be able to try it on for ages!

Thinking of braving my mustard snags tomorrow with a red dress & t shirt. That's if I remember when I get dressed in the morn!

ShowerOfShite · 04/11/2019 00:43

Thanks smoky I think you're right about the 3/4 sleeves Smile

NancyEspana · 04/11/2019 07:44

Morning all!

Here I am today - not terribly stylish, but it's bloody freezing today! Staying cosy:

Jeans, eBay, Topshop Joni
Long sleeved, black tshirt, New Look
Jumper, eBay, Tu
Boots, Office

Everyone looks fab and so much variety. Please help me stylish ladies. I’m stuck in a real rut of jeans and top, never wear a skirt or dress. Old enough to have worn leggings in the early 90s so haven’t ventured there! Currently (slowly) losing weight so don’t want to invest too much. Size 22, large boobs, short legged apple - what outfit should I try out this winter???

PinkSquash · 04/11/2019 09:04

I'm wearing a slouchy black tee, high waisted jeans and rose gold superga

NancyEspana · 04/11/2019 09:11

@gassylady

How about some Jersey dresses with opaque tights? Or maybe a pinafore dress? I'm a big fan of them, but they are having a bit of a moment if that puts you off at all, (not me Halloween Grin).

Same here, @NowWeSuckingDiesel. Just back from school walk. I think we've gone for a similar look, but your necklace definitely makes it look more stylish! I need some more jewellery. Will have a hunt in charity shops later.

@pinksquash, I've been eyeing the rose gold supergas! How are they to wear?

PinkSquash · 04/11/2019 09:51

@NancyEspana they're honestly so comfortable to wear, I have really wide feet and they're great. I have two pairs and they go with everything

AliasGrape · 04/11/2019 10:01

Looking good Nancy and Diesel
Here’s me today - nothing exciting because of the messy after school club I’m running.

Dorothy Perkins skinny trousers size 18,
Long sleeve t-shirt from peacocks and grey jumper with random buckles on sleeves from Tesco - Size 20, last year.
Fly London boots.
Name necklace a gift from a friend.

I love the bow detail on the sleeve, Alias.

How do you all do layering so well? It looks and feels daft on me!

SillyBillyBandy · 04/11/2019 11:32

Breton top, denim skirt and fly London boots today. And my new navy Snag tights which I am in love with. So comfy.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

NowWeSuckingDiesel · 04/11/2019 14:55

Sorry nancy I missed your photo earlier, i could be your (shorter plumper) twin today!
alias love your top and your necklace is fab, what a great gift from your friend. I have a feeling you might like chanel....... 😂 silly love the colour of your top, i need to get more colours like that!

Gemi33 · 04/11/2019 16:26

I love wrap dresses but always find they don't sit right across my chest - always either gaping open or too tight. Has anyone found any really good wrap dresses for plus size (with large boobs)?

xx

picklemepopcorn · 04/11/2019 17:10

Hmm. Sudden loss of confidence.

I need layers, working tonight in a building which could be freezing, could be very warm and overcrowded.

Cardi open or shut?

I prefer it open and think you look great Halloween Smile. Very autumnal colours too!

SillyBillyBandy · 04/11/2019 17:27

Open! Lovely colour Smile

NowWeSuckingDiesel · 04/11/2019 17:27

I'm not going to be very useful here pickle but I like it both ways! When it's shut it shows off the lovely neckline more i think but there's no need to have a lack of confidence for its honestly lovely both ways. As useful as a chocolate teapot, i know!

buckeejit · 04/11/2019 17:32

@Gemi33 I need to wear a cami under a wrap dress

Mustard tights out today. Not entirely sure I don't look like a weirdo but hey ho. Cheap summer dress from eBay & t shirt from H&M

NancyEspana · 04/11/2019 18:15

@buckeejit, you look amazing! You've nailed styling those tights imo.

I also feel like I'm straddling the fine line between stylish and weirdo in my brighter coloured Snags. But they're everywhere now, so hopefully I don't look out of place. I love them anyway, so nerr Halloween Grin.

Myshitisreal · 04/11/2019 18:38

Placemarking quickly, I've been stalking from afar and figure it's time to shit or get off the pot 😂 sorry poking fun at this phrase and it's overuse on mn recently. Size 16 here and I dress alternatively/ a little quirky, not sure how you would describe it but I definitely don't fit any mn protocol for clothes. May I join you lovely ladies. I've read this whole thread. My weight fluctuates a lot due to medical issues so I'm anything between 14 and 18. Really love seeing all your outfits and styling and it's fantastic to see posters confidence grow 💪 ♥

Daddylonglegs1965 · 04/11/2019 18:38

Loving the cardigan pickle where is it from and was it a recent purchase?
