Any suggestions for good black Friday sales?

NancyEspana · 20/11/2019 14:10

Oh that's a total bargain @Ilovethekitties! Looks great and will see you through breastfeeding etc.

@lightuptheroom, I have no idea, but would also be interested to know! Even just for christmas shopping.

I'm keeping an eye on Thought and babipur, for eco friendly pressies.

A quick link to the Facebook group

What's the story with the Facebook group???? Sorry I seen it discussed in the last thread. I'm not on Facebook so feel like I'm missing something

liquoriceallsortfamily · 20/11/2019 19:39

I'm not on Facebook either so please stay on here as it's such a great thread Smile

TheSummoningDark · 20/11/2019 19:59

I'm not on Facebook either. I think it's a private group on there so you'd need to become a member to view.

plum1304 · 20/11/2019 20:23

Have followed with interest and inspiration as a very comfortable size 18, am working on getting that number down but equally trying to feel comfortable in my own skin!

Can anyone recommend a good smart coat?

Myshitisreal · 20/11/2019 20:27

👋 @plum304

Awww that's nice, I still feel like I'm missing something though 😂 I love reading this thread, seeing people's outfits and their confidence grow. It's just great. No photos here, I've been sick so clean jammies are a far as I get. Still reading though

TheSummoningDark · 21/11/2019 11:29

Fat Face checked dress, 14.
Old vest top, L.
Burgundy tights.
DMs.
Purple necklace.

Not my best look. But I'm challenging myself to wear something that's outside my comfort zone today. I usually wear the dress open like a shirt, with jeans. All I can think is bloody hell, I can see my knees.

I love that summoning!

Bit boring from me again today. I'm so cold though! Too cold to be stylish - that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it Halloween Grin.

Jeans, Sainsbury's GF, 16, this season.
Merry and Bright top, Sainsbury's, 20, this season.
Socks, Uniqlo heattech, this season.

Just checking in.

Love the dress @AliasGrape - makes me broody for a wedding if there's such a thing. Think I'd really enjoy getting married again now if I had time & didn't already have a husband.

I've been busy doing house sorting stuff but did buy a nice Asda dress & H&M one recently - I'm ALL about dresses since discovering snag, though would like a skirt & like Nancy's Sainsbury's cord one there

M&S heatgen tights were rec'd & think I'd like to try them - is the sizing ok?

buckeejit · 21/11/2019 12:22

Can't find the Asda dress but see they have 20% off atm.

Here's the H&M number - my body is too big to see that much fabric so will be unbuttoned a lot & sleeves rolled up on me.

Along with my lovely new DMs that I love! New from eBay for £75 & I dithered as I have the same colour & mock croc DMs in Chelsea boot style but they are my new happy place. Or will be when they're broken in!

I've also included a pic of what drunk me ordered on Sat night. I was surprised when it arrived as I'd forgotten but OMG I love it. No more cold steering wheel!

M&S heatgen tights have loads of stretch and stay put really well IME. I'm not adverse to wearing them under another pair when it's freezing. Not sure what size mine are, DM bought them last year? to go with a dress for Christmas. They've lasted well.

I have serious boot envy. They were a bargain as well.

I admitted defeat and wore my smart winter coat (Dorothy Perkins, 'wool', lined) earlier. I'm going to have to get out my waterproof 3in1 parka soon, A.K.A. my Kenny from South Park coat.

Myshitisreal · 21/11/2019 13:51

😂 😂 At the link fluffy steering wheel that's amazing!!!!

Thesummoning that dress looks really great on you 🤩

Myshitisreal · 21/11/2019 13:54

Love the dms, I've just bought these yesterday, 🤞 they fit. I have dms I love but I don't seem to ever break them in. I have to wear plasters every single time.. Well, I bought two pairs

Summoning- I actually really like that look! I might try and find a shirt dress like that. Your knees are normal knees Grin

Buck- i love that dress. I might treat myself. I'm also enjoying dresses now snags are in my life. I don't mean to brag (it's a Kia picanto!) but I have a heated steering wheel and seats

This is me today:
Long shirt Fatface via Hospiscare
Jeans Next via Sue Ryder
Boots New Look via Sue Ryder

I got the boots yesterday and I love them! They are real suede, brand new and cost £4 Grin

Hi all,

I'm wearing my cherry maternity smock top today! Size 18, nice thick pair of leggings on!

Ladies, can anywhere recommend me a place to find nursing tops and dresses? I cant seem to find many who offer a lot of choice to us curvier ladies. I am size 18/20 so I would probably need somewhere catered to fuller ladies.

Thanks!

Kitties - next used to do good maternity / feeding wear.

AliasGrape · 22/11/2019 08:17

I’m wearing my new River Island Plus dress I got from eBay (£12 inc p&p not bad considering it was new with tags). Unfortunately I’m having to throw a big cardigan over it as my classroom is freezing but not wearing it in picture as wanted to show off my dress Grin

Very lovely dress Alias!

I am currently in PJs, dressing gown and slippers. All M&S and Next Halloween Wink. DH is off work today and doing the school run, so dc2 and I are hanging out at home till he gets back and I will get a long shower on my own hurrah!

Will post a pic later, when I'm dressed!

In other style news, I'm a bit disappointed in my new jeans from Sainsbury's. They have lost their shape already and look enormous on me, which is annoying, as I actually tried them on and they looked fine in the shop. I really don't think I could have sized down, due to my mum tum. I've worn them both now, so can't return (boo).

TheSummoningDark · 22/11/2019 09:41

Lace collar jumper, size 14/16 TOFS.
Principles Yasmin jeans, size 16.
DMs.
Star bracelet.
No7 sugar plum lipstick for colour.
I'm including a vital thing I wear everyday. These are my outdoor glasses (my indoor ones are the ones chewed by DS). They are possibly a bit Dame Edna-esque but I love them.

Dress looks good Alias. Really flattering.

Nancy check the returns policy, they might give you your money back under your statutory rights if they've really sagged already. If not, dare I suggest tumble dryer?

Thanks summoning, I'll hunt out the receipt and will check with them.

3dogs2cats · 22/11/2019 14:50

Summoning, those glasses are fab, been putting off going to the opticians but that makes me want to.
Alias, love that dress bargain.
I’ve just been away to a really fancy pants hotel for a few nights with my size 8 friend, so I now feel like Shrek, only not green. Great to come here and look at all you gorgeous 14 and uppers.I feel better now.
Skinny jeans and a studio 8 top. Aldo boots size 9.
