Hello!

There used to be a lovely what are you wearing today? thread(s) on here for people who were plus size (circa 16/18 and up I think).

Could anyone tell me if they've seen one lately please? If there isn't one on the go, would anyone be interested in joining me on here?

I'm size 16/18. Today I'm in a New Look floral dress and DM boots. Pic attached (hopefully).

No pic from me today as I totally forgot. Haven’t been anywhere so threw on a next black linen shift dress but at least made the effort to brush my hair and put on a wee bit of make up.

May wear it again tomorrow so will take pic then.

This thread has made me reconsider my lack of a full length mirror

Vintage dress. Size 18.

Love that dress @wandering

StCharlotte · 29/06/2020 08:24

That's a lovely dress.

Reminds me of a much loved dress I had from Principles in the 90s. My breasts are two different sizes and by about an hour in, the buttons would be diagonal across my body instead of straight down. It was a talking point.

LadyPrigsbottom · 29/06/2020 09:04

Gorgeous wandering! Love it!

I'm still not dressed, despite planning to go for a run / walk C25K session this morning. Will post a pic when I am.

Right. I was logged in for work but was still getting dressed when an early call came through. I've just spent half an hour talking to a client in my pants and clutching my bra to my chest as I didn't want to lose the call Blush There's an edifying mental picture for you. Thankfully not a Zoom call!

You'll be pleased to know I am now fully dressed. The trousers are navy. I love them so much I have three pairs. The sweater is in the sale. I also love it Should I get a duplicate?

I took a call from my DS's headteacher last week, whilst sat in just my knickers on the bed @StCharlotte , so you're not alone!

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 29/06/2020 12:46

Today i am rocking capri leggings and a massive blue hairy jumper because the doors and windows are open and i am cold ❄️

LadyPrigsbottom · 29/06/2020 12:51

Ah lockdown life! All the half dressed (non sexy) phone calls Grin.

I am wearing what I did yesterday!

Still need to do a wardrobe clearout, but pesky DH is using our bedroom as a home office at the mo and doing a lot of work calls, so I can't realistically bring the 2yo in there to 'help' me reorganise my wardrobe.

Not much planned today, other than playing with the toddler, making lunch and then school pick up. Same old, same old.

Is summer over? Its got pretty chilly here, so I've got a long sleeved purple ribbed top on with my black cargo jeans, black and white Vans for when I popped to the shop.

ChequerBoard · 29/06/2020 13:43

Yes, very chilly here this morning too so I'm back in a long sleeved v neck jumper top from Wallis. It's black white and a thin maroon stripe. Very daring for me because it's a waist length top, so I'm feeling quite exposed..

Bioprepper · 29/06/2020 18:04

Ive been updating my wardrobe to more classic and investment pieces lately. Today im wearing blue skinny jeans from next and a pink primark jumper and ive realised how bad the quality of the jumper actually is! I think i need to shop for better jumpers lol

WanderingTrolley1 · 29/06/2020 19:44

I’m envious of the skinny jeans. I can’t wear them with my tree-trunk legs!

frustrationcentral · 29/06/2020 23:27

I'm hoping to get an interview soon, working in childcare (nannying)

I really need some new trousers, but have a nightmare finding nice slim/skinny trousers that suit my apple like frame. I've got fairly slim legs/thighs, that don't match my round tum BlushGrin
I've bought tight fitting trousers before and they always end up really baggy.

I like the look of cigarette pants, any ideas where I should look?

Site meeting today so its black trousers, spotty short sleeved blouse over a black cami. I need a nice light weight and waterproof jacket for the summer, my walking coat is not really smart enough but is only coat that fits at the moment :(

LivingDeadGirlUK · 30/06/2020 08:56

here is a pic :) I've also done my makeup today which makes a change!

Also an apple.

I must recommend these at least one a week, I should be on commission! I bought them on someone else's recommendation on here. If you're between sizes go for the smaller size. They have loads of colours.

Me too - an apple.

I got a few tops from TU.

Am wearing a navy tee from TU
My sporty pants - either navy or black (not sure which!) with white piping down side. Had them for ages. Think they may have been from Evans or M&S - cannot remember.

I am at work.

StCharlotte · 30/06/2020 09:20

Today I'm wearing the navy cigarette trousers with this shirt.

AND slippers again Grin

You're all so lovely and in proportion!

I find it hard to dress my shape because of my awful tummy. I'm a short 16 with big boobs and a really horrible tyre tummy overhang (attractive eh?)

Anyone else my shape and expert at dressing it?

QueenCT · 30/06/2020 09:30

WFH. Lucy locket leggings and boohoo top
