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 today, but I'm just in a pair of blue skinny jeans and a grey t-shirt. Will probably wear with teal Van's.

Oh enjoy the zoo @LivingDeadGirlUK! That's so exciting! It'll probably be better with social distancing tbh, as you'll be able to see the animals instead of having to fight your way through crowds. I bet it's a bit less stressful for the animals too.

Ooooooo! My Cos order has NOT been cancelled. I'm excited now! Will see how it looks on, but fingers crossed it'll look nice on.

Loving all the photos you ladies are all so inspiring.
You are all so beautiful and I'm well jealous of your lovely legs.
I have terrible varicose veins.
I'm also menopausal and can't wear coloured trousers due to sweating same with plain coloured tops ....so embarrassing.

Please keep photos coming you are all awesome .

You’ll have to excuse the crappy nail polish and DIY henna!! I blame my 6 yr old!

LadyPrigsbottom · 07/07/2020 13:22

Love that dress wandering and I also love the henna!

Love the Richards dress WanderingTrolley, it has a gorgeous wrap shape to the top and a lovely print.

It's grey and overcast here today so I've gone for a bright green sparkly top from Hell Bunny (photo is not me - I wish) which I've paired with my trusty black leggings.

Ah @Maverick66, thanks for the lovely comment Flowers. Yes, I know it wasn't aimed at me personally, but you know, I'll take a compliment if it's on offer WinkGrin.

I was eyeing up that top in purple a while ago @ChequerBoard :) the green looks great too.

buckeejit · 07/07/2020 23:01

Lovely outfits, I'm particularly in love woth that hell bunny top so off to investigate Smile

LadyPrigsbottom · 08/07/2020 09:02

Morning all!

I also love the hell bunny tshirt.

Getting in on the denim dress action today Grin.

Dress: 18, Asos Tall
Tights: E, Snag

Don't know what I'll wear on my feet, but quite possibly wellies, as it's raining today.

In exciting, (sort of), style news for me, I finally coaxed my hair into a teeny ponytail, after having a pixie cut with buzz cut at the back, JUST before CV hit and I couldn't get to hairdressers to have it maintained. I am so happy. I also have an appointment for a cut with my wonderful hairdresser in about a month, but now wondering if I should push it back a bit and keep growing my hair... but maybe not. It's probably time I had it cut, regardless...

Lovely, love the denim dress & that blue shirt. I'm in pjs now but was out to lunch in the same dress I wore on Monday.

I popped into H&M today for dc things & picked up this top for £5 in the sale. It's too small really-just size 14 but with H&M's ever wonderful weird sizing I get get it on - not sure whether to make a couple of slits in the sides or just leave it. Love the print & the deep V but may need a camisole under

UK 16/18 (whatever size fits!)

  • Uniqlo Zelda Nintendo tee
  • Tu straight leg charcoal jeans bought in sale for something silly like £6, so 2 x 16s and 4 x 14s (the former have stretched out and the latter are Still too tight
  • Doc Martens white Baflour sandals in a size 9 Shock
LadyPrigsbottom · 08/07/2020 23:18

Love that @buckeejit! I like it as it is, so I probably wouldn't bother altering it.

I am very partial to DM boots @feedingfrenzyatfive! How are their sandals? I never seem to wear sandals tbh, as I never find them comfortable. But maybe that's because I'm not buying the right ones!

Love that wandering!

I am in very boring jeans and tshirt combo again today. It's miserable weather here. Not sure I can face yet another soggy walk with the pushchair. I've reached saturation point for soggy walks with pushchair 😩.

Love the denim dress Ladyprigsbottom, might have to have a look at ASOS!

I'm in another Miss Selfridge smock dress today, this time a cream one with a black spring print. I'm wearing it with snag tights in 'builders tea' colour which is very out of comfort zone for me (no black leggings today).

Oh I love that @ChequerBoard! You have fantastic skin as well Envy.

My dress arrived from Cos, quickly followed by a Seasalt one, (the same as the one I got from eBay, except longer sleeves and a different print).

I think the Cos one will be nice for a fairly casual christening? Maybe with these shoes, or else something less summery depending on what the weather does. I also have a biker jacket in a navy, very soft, fake suede material to go over the top.
