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?

Size 20 5'5" big blobs, good waist, flabby tummy ,big thighs and fat knees. I never wear leggings as I look like a pile of teacakes! Love dresses and straight skirts but nothing above the knee.
I need inspiration and also a source of wide fit (eee) stylish shoes. Prefer flattish shoes . Shop at Yours,Debenhams, New Look and Next . Feeling a bit frumpy at the moment.

picklemepopcorn · 18/10/2019 09:00

Sandgrown, you might be my twin! Are you wide in the shoulder and back?

NowWeSuckingDiesel · 18/10/2019 10:02

Love, love, love the dungarees nancy especially with the brogues, they really suit you!

popcorn i bought the cardi about a month ago so i would think it's still in stock, although i can't see it online. I think their 25% off promotion starts this Tuesday so it may be worth looking in store then!

sand have you tried Simply Be for shoes they do eee fitting on the majority of their shoes, might be worth a look? Also Evans do wide fitting also but not sure if they would have the stylish shoes you are after!

picklemepopcorn · 18/10/2019 11:43

Finally got dressed!

I've had this skirt years, over 20. The pattern is embroidered all over.

The cardi was my mother's- it's really useful- a swing shape which works really well.

The vest underneath is so useful- it's neat/tight so doesn't add bulk, and very long. Nice big scoop at the neck.

I love colour, but seem to have gradually moved to black and white for convenience.

Huh, that photo isn't helpful. Must switch to my phone, and maybe move the mirror. I don't look quite as much like a wrinkly sack of spuds in real life.

luckygreeneyes · 18/10/2019 11:45

I’m wearing a size 18 floral print tea dress from new look with opaque tights and a big cosy camel cardi from next

ClientListQueen · 18/10/2019 13:38

Dress down for work, this outfit with Sainsbury's grey skinny jeans

Thanks diesel!

popcorn, I'm struggling to make out the photo on my rubbish phone, but I love what I can see of your outfit. Really elegant and a bit artsy (in a good way)!

I love those trainers queen.

ClientListQueen · 18/10/2019 15:31

They're v comfy, I have them in black studs with leopard print too

spaniorita · 18/10/2019 15:32

Black next jeggings and a grey next v-backed long sleeve top.

picklemepopcorn · 18/10/2019 15:40

Thank you Nancy!
I've mainly given up on skirts and dresses- it's too hard to get tops which work, and tights are such a hassle! I do have long long dresses in Summer, though.

In winter it's generally black trousers with some kind of loud tunic! It's not always easy to balance the layers though, if I need to wear a coat.

ImNotYourGranny · 18/10/2019 15:42

Black legging and an A-line dress. Same as always. Today's has a red aztec type design.

peachgreen · 18/10/2019 15:46

Nancy, those dungarees are GREAT. Love them. I'd really like some but they don't go up to my size, alas.

I really like Evans for jewellery too as they tend to make bigger pieces - I find a lot of cosmetic jewellery gets a bit lost on me as it's too dainty!

I'm in a grey striped sweater today with jeans and white trainers - dress down Friday at work.

ShyAmy333 · 18/10/2019 15:54

as a size 18 transgender lady (I transitioned 2 yrs ago) I'm afraid I'm a Primark girl. Today their leather look leggings white fluffy jumper and tan suede ankle boots. my hairdresser said it looked like designer wear!

TakeMeToYourLiar · 18/10/2019 16:18

Have changed after gym

White nautical stripe fine knit cotton jumper

Dark bootcut jeans

Frugi duck socks (love their socks but don't do plus size)

Tan leather slouchy boots

froomeonthebroom · 18/10/2019 18:17

Today I'm wearing sainsburys skinny jeans with a maroon leopard print jumper from Oasis/Simply Be. I've recently bought a few dresses for work from Yours and Joe Browns plus. I'm a size 20/22.

NancyEspana · 18/10/2019 18:20

Thanks peachgreen! Yes, it's really annoying they only go up to a 20.

picklemepopcorn · 18/10/2019 18:23

@ImNotYourGranny that's my uniform too! But I often wear trousers/jeans rather than leggings. My knees are not suitable for public viewing!

CrowleysBentley · 18/10/2019 20:21

Love your dungarees Nancy. I wish I could wear dungarees, I love them on other people, but whenever I try them on I look like a tellytubby.

picklemepopcorn · 18/10/2019 21:31

@Wombleish ! Oh no! Bon Marché has gone into administration! Better buy some jeans quick!

Papergirl1968 · 18/10/2019 22:25

I just heard about Bon Marche. As an over 50, plus size, I quite like Bon Marche for certain things.
But then I liked BHS too and that when down the pan so I suspect I’m in a minority.
I think the problem is that many high street stores like Dorothy Perkins and Matalan now do plus size ranges and there’s just too much competition.

WombleishofThigh · 18/10/2019 23:44

Oh hell, Pickle. Knowing my luck, the jeans will be a perfect fit and I'll never be able to buy them again Angry

SillyBillyBandy · 19/10/2019 00:03

I'm braving a pic GrinEden leggings from peacocks and a next top for a night out. Sandals from marks

Plus size what are you wearing today
NowWeSuckingDiesel · 19/10/2019 06:16

@SillyBillyBandy you look fantastic! That outfit really accentuates your lovely shape. Hope you had a great night out!
