Oh the other thing I'd say about the Toast dress was I was disappointed when it arrived it wasn't a slippy satiny fabric when it arrived. The fabric is a little crisper (not much though). On review its probably more forgiving than a slippery fabric. I've had tons of compliments about the dress - fashion wise and of the moment.

You all look amazing but think you look small than what you think you do

I said in the last thread that I was going to try and wear nicer clothes but that hasn't really happened until today! (Been gardening and allotmenting a lot recently!) Today I'm off to town for lunch so have made some effort. I'm a size 18 - dress is DP and tights are Snag (my first ever wear and I love them!). Coat and boots are old.

Gorgeous dresses titsy and client!

I've been eyeing that Amy dress up for a while now as another friend has it (and doesn't live near me so we can both own without risking turning up in the same dress together!)

I'm also looking at Sosander at the moment for a Christmas dress as have a few things to go to which would warrant a new dress over the next couple of months.

NancyEspana · 06/11/2019 11:36

Some beautiful, colourful dresses^^.

Here I am in new outfit, from Sainsbury's:

Pinafore, 18

Oh excuse the messy bathroom! Meant to edit that out Halloween Blush.

ShowerOfShite · 06/11/2019 12:18

This is me today. In scruffs as no plans beyond the supermarket. Not very flattering.

Posted too soon.
M and S girlfriend jeans and jersey top from ASOS.
Skechers on my feet which I dislike but are SO comfy on my ankles.
Everyone looks lovely in their outfits Smile
I'm starting a new job soon and it will be great to dress up a bit.

NancyEspana · 06/11/2019 13:30

I really like those jeans Shower! Lovely casual outfit.

My new dungarees have arrived!

I think I like them and might keep. This is a size up from my usual. These are Lucy & Yak, XL, which is 18-20 and they're soooooo comfy!

Not sure what colour to wear underneath though...

So not a great photo - smart work day today. Usual black opaque tights and ankle boots. Dark blue Cos dress with black velvet pattern with dark blue tailored boat from Jigsaw.

Another nice dress, Boule!

picklemepopcorn · 06/11/2019 17:00

Any colour, Nancy, surely that's the point? I probably wouldn't go with another neutral though. Be a bit samey. They look great. Use your imagination for me, imagine you have a big bum and saddlebags, would they still work? Grin

NancyEspana · 06/11/2019 17:30

popcorn, I think they'd look amazing with a curvy bum! I have saddle bags a plenty.

Yeah, they're fairly neutral, so I suppose any colour...I'm just not used to wearing such light shades, so feel a bit out of my comfort zone!

boule, looking chic!

NowWeSuckingDiesel · 06/11/2019 17:58

@ShowerOfShite i love those jeans almost as much as i love your username! @NancyEspana i could see your dungarees looking especially lovely with autumnal colors, especially a plum burgundy shade with your brown brogues?

ShowerOfShite · 06/11/2019 18:21

Thanks @NowWeSuckingDiesel it was used to refer to the Dáil and it made me laugh.
I'm out for dinner so I'm wearing this New Look dress, snag tights and ankle boots.

This is the best thread I have seen on Mumsnet since 2009 when I joined. I am a few sizes bigger than I have been and after seeing you all I am thinking who fucking cares!!

You all look fantastic. I have been punishing myself for being overweight by wearing horrible clothes - I am going to stop this immediately. What a fool I've been.

I particularly like the pink animal print popsy dress and the Toast number.

picklemepopcorn · 06/11/2019 18:37

Go for it Peachypips! We don't get slimmer by beating ourselves up and wearing sackcloth, that's for sure!

Peachypips78 · 06/11/2019 18:39

Cheers pickle! I'm going to celebrate by buying myself some pink snag tights Grin

Can someone link to the previous thread- I can't find it in the search function.

AliasGrape · 06/11/2019 18:47

I know what you mean about punishing yourself peachy

No new photo from me today as I’m rewearing the pinafore and purple jumper from the weekend/last thread.

Bouledeneige · 06/11/2019 19:32

Ive not had a lot of time to engage but I really like this thread too. I love clothes but feel excluded by a lot of people because I'm not stick thin. I really like a lot of the outfits that have been posted - Titsywoo and others come to mind in the last day couple of days. I'm a bit short on casual stuff so need ideas! Like the dungarees, pinafores and dresses posted. Sorry I can't recall posters names.

picklemepopcorn · 06/11/2019 19:50

I have some beautiful purple tights that are begging me to be worn.

I'm going to have to seriously comb my wardrobe to find something to wear with them.

My lagenlook coat has arrived- gorgeous, and such a bargain! I'll post a pic later.
