@ringletsandtwiglets the coated jeans look brilliant on you. Honestly, if my legs looked as good as yours I would wear them with EVERYTHING Smile

Hope you got some rest @AliasGrape

The pinafore is fabulous - And even though it's not a particularly flattering shape for me, I love it so much I don't care.

bridgetreilly · 01/12/2019 19:29

Summoning, can you get both and return one?

TheSummoningDark · 01/12/2019 19:56

I really should get both, I'm just trying to be lazy clever. Just deciding plain, floral or something more adventurous. I love the fact they have a category called "weird and wonderful".

I'm glad you liked the pinafore @poorremus. It's something I wouldn't have even tried on if not for this thread.

Stupid tree is up with no further incidents. Memory foam burrito with legs is a fairly accurate description of earlier. Not the image for S&B.

@Peachypips78

I really loved the opera! I'd never been to a full opera before last night, just to an opera recital thing. I would definitely go again. It was very entertaining.

I couldn't agree more with your philosophy on wearing whatever the fuck we like!

@ringletsandtwiglets, I love the coated jeans! They look lovely on you.

@thesummoningdark, yeah, I'd order both. Although I also hate doing that and then having to chase refunds etc. I miss in person shopping! But it's crap these days. So much more choice online.

Peachypips78 · 02/12/2019 08:51

Morning!

Today we have an ancient Joules jumper, a new cord skirt from Sainsbury's, grey snags, lovely suede boots from the charidy shop.

I know we are body positive but I wish my boobs were smaller!

@Peachypips78 You look amazing! That skirt is beautiful, and your boobs emphasise your little waist even more.

NancyEspana · 02/12/2019 09:49

YY, I agree with ringlets! Fab outfit and fab boobs peachy!

Here I am in boring, but warm, Next skinnies from eBay (16), merino v neck and v neck tee underneath, both XL from Uniqlo and M&S hiking boots. Ancient leg warmers from New Look.

@Peachypips78 I love your outfit - beautifully colour coordinated. I really want that skirt but can't find it online, do you have a link you could share?

ringletsandtwiglets · 02/12/2019 10:21

Nancy, you look so svelte! The leg warmers are absolutely amazing and give good balance for us apples.

I’m in my standard navy jumper, pink vest underneath, denim skirt and grey snags today. It’s cold, but sunny today and I have a few errands to run, but the Christmas market is in town and all the people will be there.

TheSummoningDark · 02/12/2019 10:37

Fat Face dress,size 12 (definitely the dress not me).
Will have to add jumper to go out.

Lost my first post, hopefully just my internet playing up and won't post twice.

Love today's outfits.

Love your skirt peachy you look fab.
Summoning also love your dress.
I am planning a shopping lunch trip to Scotland this week was planning to look nice and dress up a bit but think will have to be layers, layers and more layers. It’s quite cold up north.

Daddylonglegs1965 · 03/12/2019 12:14

Today I have got out of my dog walking/cleaning clothes and I am going out for afternoon tea.

Top to toe old phase 8 necklace, new White Stuff teal top with gold swirls (size 22), black M&S comfy/stretchy trousers size 20 Long (bargain at £12 odd) and matching bargain Lidl socks 6-8 99p. I will be putting boots on a big cardigan/coatigan when I go out.

Ignore the mess of my bedroom please DH’s clothes lying around.

Lovely daddylonglegs!

I am in exactly what I wore yesterday. DS and I were running some errands in town this morning and now are in the house, pottering about. He will go for his nap soon enough.

ringletsandtwiglets · 03/12/2019 12:47

@Daddylonglegs1965 look at that waist! You have such a gorgeous hourglass shape 😍😍😍

Daddylonglegs1965 · 03/12/2019 13:32

Thanks both. Ringlets if only I really haven’t I have an enormous sticky out tummy the top just isn’t hanging well :-( but thank you. I am a proper size 20.

AliasGrape · 03/12/2019 13:37

Love that top daddylonglegs and peachy you look amazing in that skirt from yesterday.

Update of sorts is that I had a (very early) scan today and they can see what looks to be a sac in the right place but just too early to tell anything more so have to go back in a few weeks. No more bleeding so fingers crossed.

In clothes related news an Evans jumper dress has just arrived from Vinted and although it’s yet another grey item for my wardrobe, I rather like it. Going to try it on properly and try to get a picture tomorrow, right now I need pjs and a snooze as was awake at 4!

ringletsandtwiglets · 03/12/2019 14:47

@AliasGrape that’s brilliant news! We’re all rooting for you.

@Daddylonglegs1965, you look bleddy marvellous, Ms Non-Sticky-Out-Tummy, but I know what it’s like to only see your perceived flaws. We need to practise accepting compliments. ❤️

Daddylonglegs1965 · 03/12/2019 14:52

Thank you all this thread is so lovely and complimentary. We are all too hard on ourselves. But thanks to this thread our joint account has taken a bit of a battering.

NancyEspana · 03/12/2019 16:42

I feel exactly the same daddylonglegs! Love this thread, but my bank balance HATES it GrinBlush.

Peachypips78 · 03/12/2019 21:27

Ella - it was in my local Sainsbury's. I was just lucky that the last one was in my size. I am also wearing the same as yesterday!

Alias- that's great news. Looking forward to hearing more of the same in the next few weeks.

I keep thinking 'but they haven't seen me sideways' GrinGrinGrin

NancyEspana · 04/12/2019 11:42

Same jeans as the past two days Blush, teal tee from Sainsbury's (18), boots from Office (ancient), ancient capsule v neck jumper (18).

I was complimented on my boots today by a very stylish lady I see on the school run, which was lovely.

alias, great news re scan! Hope you are well and keeping everything crossed for you.

Ladies just to unlurk here to say you are all amazing and very stylish.

Me I'm at home ski bing around recovering from a hip replacement a couple of weeks ago so it's joggers and fleece tops for me for comfort at the moment.

But you have all inspired me to style myself up for when I return to work as this will be a new me.

Keep up the good positive body image work.

RougeVinEtFromage · 04/12/2019 11:51

Ohhhh hi guys, please can I join this thread?

Today I'm wearing a rufflely ASOS sweatshirt and some sweaty Betty leggings (which I wear to not work out in). I wore this with Adidas original supercourt RX trainers in white (just got them hence I know the name) and a big black fur coat from Dorothy Perkins last year. I'll post a pic later.

NancyEspana · 04/12/2019 11:59

Hello salom and rouge!

Exciting to get new posters on here! It is such a fantastic thread.

AliasGrape · 04/12/2019 21:01

Today was a Junarose dress (their medium which is 18-20) and tesco cardigan (18).

The way I’m holding my arms makes the boobs/ neckline look odd and weirdly baggy,
It’s nicer in real life!
