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).

Its my green craghopper walking trousers and a slouchy fine knit long sleeve jumper from GAP today. Going for comfort as I'm not leaving the house :)

Some lovely frocks today and agreed about ChequerBoard's boobage!

@LadyPrigsbottom Can you model the Cos dress for us?

I've been on annual leave so pretty casual this week (gutted about the weather!). Mostly cropped trousers and casual tops but a friend gave me this necklace yesterday which goes very well with this top.

After 16 weeks wfh I'm back in the office next week. This dress arrived this week which has pleats, pockets and, somewhat randomly, is SPF 50! So I can wear it on holiday (like, when??) and to the office where I can smarten it up with the navy blazer I have at work for seeing clients. Quite excited about showing off all my lockdown purchases Grin

Lovely chequer & st Charlotte. I love gap thin knits - 2 of my favourite tops are dark brown short sleeved gap think knits that I'm contestant my looking for replacements on eBay as mine are about 20yr old now.

I bought a nice skirt in H&M today when I returned the green dress. Can't find it online but may wear it tomorrow. Size L when I need XL at least but once I struggle to get it over my arse it's alright!

Forgot to take a pic today & had even gone to the bother of putting a dress on because last week delivering food parcels, a wee woman complained that the week before I had on such a lovely colourful dress & looked so lovely that it really lifted her & then last week I was in dull trousers. I didn't even have her on my rounds today after my effort! I'm in a sort of shopping
Mood although need nothing & don't want to spend much. I guess H&M helps for being in this position!

Can you model the Cos dress for us?

Yeah! Will try on tomorrow, maybe with the shoes and jacket and ask for opinions if anyone would oblige Grin.

I will! I already love the shoes.

sonjadog · 10/07/2020 09:45

Yes to seeing the Cos dress on!

This morning I got out my favourite winter cardigan again, as summer seems to have run off again.

StCharlotte · 10/07/2020 09:51

Oh sonjadog that cardigan is lovely! The weather here today doesn't quite warrant it but I'd almost look forward to winter knowing I had that waiting in my wardrobe.

I'm wearing a dark blue denim miniskirt (daring!) and a mixed-blues top from Sainsburys. Hoping to get a bit of sun on my legs today.

LadyPrigsbottom · 10/07/2020 11:05

Love the cardi @sonjadog! Very scandi chic!

Thanks for offering to give opinions on the outfit.

Here are a few pics.

  1. what I'm wearing today - new dress from Seasalt sale, 18, tights from ebay
  2. cos dress with shoes and jacket
  3. cos dress with shoes and no jacket

Please excuse white legs, which I will tart up somehow on the day.

What do you guys think? I will be being Godmother at a christening (casual secular version, but lovely, stylish friend is the mum).

Oh they're all jumbled up, sorry! Hopefully you see what I mean.

And the shoes do up properly. I just couldn't be bothered to do it today.

@LadyPrigsbottom WOW! You definitely have the legs to wear the dress ..I prefer it without jacket though.
Love the navy dress ..great shape on you.

LadyPrigsbottom · 10/07/2020 11:21

Ah thanks @Maverick66 Flowers.

I think I prefer it without the jacket too... I guess we'll have to see what the weather does.

I can always wear the jacket outdoors and then take it off when I get there. If it's really cold by then, I'll have to rethink the shoes and maybe wear it with tights. Will see.

ChequerBoard · 10/07/2020 11:34

@LadyPrigsbottom love the Cos dress on you! You have great legs and this really shows them off. Like the blue jacket, the colour goes really well with the pale dress and love the shoes too - a great combo.

LadyPrigsbottom · 10/07/2020 11:52

Thank you @ChequerBoard Flowers! I'm excited to wear it now. Fingers crossed no more lockdowns so we can actually go 😬.

@LadyPrigsbottom Wowsers, smokin! Better without the jacket. You have fantastic legs.

@sonjadog I love that cardi so much - where did you get it?! The weather is Most annoying here right now, I would love some sun please!

I'm in an H&M skirt -£8 in the sale this week & an old H&M linen t shirt. Decided the little seaside village we're off to this avo wasn't quite ready for double contrasting print just yet !

StCharlotte · 10/07/2020 12:48

So glad the order wasn't cancelled @LadyPrigsbottom - it looks great on you!Smile

(Also prefer without jacket, although I really like the jacket)

Also really like the Seasalt dress and the tights.

WanderingTrolley1 · 10/07/2020 13:05

I think the Seasalt dress without tights and with the shoes would be beautiful for the christening.

LadyPrigsbottom · 10/07/2020 13:27

Thanks @buckeejit and @WanderingTrolley1!

I think I'll wear the Cos one, but may swap shoes for something more cold weather friendly, if the need arises. I have these black, suede boots actually, which I think might look nice with it... ot could go with the clunky grey?

I love the Seasalt one too, but I don't think it's stylish enough for the christening..? Or I could wear the orange print one or maybe the one from my op...quite a few options actually!

Dark grey leggings & a blue denim tunic from Tu at Sainsbury's. Had sandals from Clark's on this morning, whilst out on my walk with the kids but changed now into socks (cold!) & a grey/white stripe top from Matalan for wfh.

sonjadog · 10/07/2020 15:27

The Cos dress looks great. I like it better without the jacket too.

The cardigan is from a handicraft stall in the market in Bergen. I got it year ago. They are still available, but you would have to go to Bergen to buy one, and that might be a bit extreme for a cardigan!

buckeejit · 10/07/2020 21:20

If Covid was gone, I could easily be persuaded by a trip to Bergen. As it is I went to Sainsburys & bought a dress Confused

LadyPrigsbottom · 10/07/2020 21:22

Grin @buckeejit! These threads are dangerous, aren't they?

In fact, I find the while S&B board pretty bad! It made me buy new shoe yesterday. It MADE me do it!

Here I am in Peter Storm tshirt (18...I think...might be 16), M&S, leopardprint midi skirt. Wearing with tan leather ballet flats, also from M&S and my trusty charity shop necklace.

@AteAllTheAfterEights that dress is gorgeous! Very exciting to have visitors.

I'm still in my PJs hungover & wondering what I can eat & drink today before I'm back on the healthy bandwagon from tomorrow!
