Ooooo some real goodies today! I need some new clothes as my cheese stomach is not fitting my old ones.

Today I have a scandi noir jumper and have changed into my pjs.

That jumper is gooooorrrgeous, @Peachypips78! I love the Scandinavian patterns. I have to stick to a cool colour palette because my face gets as red as your jumper, but I always look out for patterns like that.

I’m in my coated ‘jeans’ and fluffy fleece jumper today. Off to see the new Star Wars in a very fancy cinema. 😍

I am very cool toned so I can get away with bright colours fortunately.

I absolutely love coated jeans. My legs are one of the chunkiest part of me and I struggle to get jeans over them so not sure they'd fit me? You have nice slim legs.

Star Wars is BRILLIANT. We are massive fans and watched all of them in chronological order in the weeks leading up to it. I thought it was perfect.

My offering today is a denim skirt from the Debenhams sale, black snags, white top from Fatface that was a cast-off from my sister, monsoon cardy from a charity shop and a cotton uniqlo scarf FULL PRICE!!!! Sorel boots. All size 14.

I love your style, @Peachypips78. Denim skirts are a favourite of mine.

If you're a size 14, you will DEFINITELY fit in some nice coated jeans. Your legs look good in your snags. My jeans are from Matalan and very forgiving, size wise. I am usually a 22-24, but I think these ones are a size 20.

Peachypips78 · 05/01/2020 20:40

Denim skirts are the business.

I am a size 16 really. But my legs are really big- it doesn't show in any of my photos! They don't fit in extra wide calf boots even. But I prob just need to go for it.

ringletsandtwiglets · 06/01/2020 12:09

Try some on and let us see? The ladies here are very supportive and honest xxx

I’m in actual workout gear and have just done two YouTube videos back to back. The pretty clothes help motivate me... at least that’s what I’m telling myself. Ive cropped the top picture so you don’t all get scared by my big PCOS belly. 🙈

ringletsandtwiglets · 06/01/2020 12:10

Oh, I forgot to say. The clothes are Wolf and Whistle (size 22) from ASOS in the sale, with Primark Harry Potter socks.

Peachypips78 · 07/01/2020 18:22

Looking awesome! I am today in a marks green swing dress which I am never sure if I like or not!! It's not hugely flattering.

Hi all, I really love this thread. You all look great. I'm short and size 18-20 on top and a size smaller on bottom. Big boobs, tum and bum, waist non existent.
I've been reading the thread for inspiration and if I can sort out a mirror I'd like to contribute.
I have two questions. First is about dresses. I love the midi floral trend of the moment. Has anyone found a version that works on the short and curvy? I find I am swamped in a lot of them but I'd love a flattering longer dress.
Secondly is about jeans. I've lived on skinnies and jeggings for years. I'd love a change but straight leg and girlfriend styles don't seem to work. Has anyone any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hello everyone, just had to come on and find the thread to share my new favourite skirt.

It was a bargain in the sale at Monsoon Outlet. £10 instead of £50! I love love love it so much.

AudreyTautou · 19/01/2020 16:51

Hello!

Size 16/18 apple here, on the tall side. Out of shape and unfit just now.

Love this thread. Just what I need at the moment, as feeling a bit low about recent weight gain.

Boring outfit today; skinnies, knee boots and a tunic jumper. Love the photos on here and may contribute one when I build up the confidence Grin.

ringletsandtwiglets · 19/01/2020 17:03

Welcome, @AudreyTautou :) There are lots of us lovely apples on here. Skinnies are our friend!

AudreyTautou · 19/01/2020 19:17

Thanks ringlets Smile.

sonjadog · 19/01/2020 20:31

Burgundy pinafore from New Look Curve, black thermal top from M&S, snag tights. DMs when going outside.

Today I wore a biker jacket, long black top, grey pinstripe cropped wide leg trousers, glitter dr martens and matching pinky red tights and scarf. I think I looked quite nice!

AudreyTautou · 20/01/2020 07:57

I'm in a Joules (via ebay) cream dress with stripes and flowers on it and black tights. My tummy is properly poking out in it Blush and it's quite short, so I'm going to find a cardi to put over the top.

Will probably wear knee boots again.

AudreyTautou · 20/01/2020 08:10

I was actually going to post a pick this morning, as I was feeling brave, but I can't do it! I rejoined mumsnet quite recently, so I wonder if I'm not allowed... maybe they think I'm a auspicious character Wink.

Anyway, it's this dress www.petandcountrystore.com/Mobile/en/Joules-Riviera-Print-34-Length-Sleeve-Jersey-Dress-Embroidery-Detail-Harvest-Floral-Plum-Stripe/m-m-7082.aspx?PartnerID=2&gclid=Cj0KCQiAvJXxBRCeARIsAMSkAprNB7j50fVZx2FOIxUyqaiGikJ0qkkH3XeVZnEWLP_VhIoOZtrAHggaAkyTEALw_wcB&utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=UnitedKingdom.

ringletsandtwiglets · 20/01/2020 09:06

@sonjadog, that pinafore looks good. Love the deep red.

@audreytautou, I didn’t know there was a restriction on newbies posting pics, but I guess it makes sense. Excited that you were prepared to post, though!

I’m just in jeans (Tesco size 22), slouchy jumper (Asda XL) and Harry Potter socks from Primark. It’s coooold here!

AudreyTautou · 20/01/2020 09:21

Hmmmm I wonder if it's because I keep leaving an rejoining... but in my defense, I have to do that every time I name change, because I sign in with Google. Unless I'm being an idiot and there is some really easy way to name change when you sign in with Google...

I might email MN towers as it's a bit annoying. I've been on here years and never had a telling off or posted anything dodgy.

Sorry, massive derail! But there you have it.

Love your socks! I love HP. Freezing here too.

OvertiredandConfused · 26/01/2020 23:19

Has anyone tried the Margie Ottaman dress from Boden? The teal is one of my colours and I’m very tempted to get it to wear for my 50th birthday lunch. Just wondering if I’ll look like a sack of potatoes....

Ooh, you look comfy but professional, @ClientListQueen You've got a great hourglass shape!

Sorry, @OvertiredandConfused, I don’t know that dress. I love shops offering sizes for plus-size women, but hate when they never use plus-size models so we get some idea how they’d look on us!
