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).

Fab dress! @atealltheaftereights

StCharlotte · 11/07/2020 18:09

That dress is amazing! @atealltheaftereights

Chez StCharlotte is well and truly re-open. Had two lots of visitors this week already but DH has now invited his brother over for the chilli I was half heartedly thinking of cooking and to watch football. Now he's added brother's wife to the guest list. All very well but I've been wearing a sunhat all day and won't have a chance to wash it now and SIL is very stylish. Scowl.

More to the point it's my family Zoom quiz which I'm not going to miss (I have a top 3 league place to maintain!).

This will be my ensemble: skirt and t-shirt from emergency Australian shopping trip unmentioned upthread. 100 Stars short kimono top.

Very cute outfit @StCharlotte! Ah lovely to hear people are getting lots of visitors again. Maybe this is the beginning of the end 🤞🤞🤞.

I got brave today and tried on the skinny jeggings that have been sitting in my drawer waiting for me to fit into them. They fit!! As in they really fit, I'm not not just squeezed into them uncomfortably.

So I'm wearing them with a cream square necked puff sleeved smock top from Asos in a size 16 which I also thought was too small. I actually went out to the shops today (DD has an opticians appointment) so I also wore my DM flatform sandals.

Sadly I've ruined the top on the first wear - I had some delicious fresh cherries and have dropped dark red cherry juice down my cream top!!

End of days Grin

Great outfits, lovely to hear of people socializing and having fun together again!

M&S dress today... can’t decide if it reminds me a little of a freesian cow 🐄

It does. But in a good way Smile

Off to niece's for cake today and to see her new house. Top from Sainsbury's. White cropped jeans possibly from Monsoon? Label gives no clues. Sandals from Clarks. Topped with aforesaid kimono. Incidentally I have the Paris kimono - I was a bit tiddly last night and it took about three [family quiz] rounds before I realised there was a French theme so I reckon I deserved to win for my attire alone Grin

@AteAllTheAfterEights that dress is lovely, sorry if has already been asked but where is it from?

poorremus · 12/07/2020 14:21

Thought it was time to actually post what I was wearing - rather than lurking. Boring but comfy Sunday afternoon wear Grin

Top - Fatface size 16
Shorts - Next size 16
Cardi - Random pick from a Lookiero box
Sandals - Next

Hair - all my own work (thank goodness I am off to the hairdresser this week)

I like your top. The patterns work well together.

LadyPrigsbottom · 12/07/2020 20:04

Love all these^^!

@poorremus, I especially love your cardi! I also get Lookiero boxes sometimes. How do you find them?

OP posts:
poorremus · 12/07/2020 21:45

Thank you @sonjadog

@LadyPrigsbottom I like Lookiero, although I do find the quality a bit hit and miss. However, because I can rarely be bothered to send anything back, I find that I have things I would never have considered wearing, which turn out to be brilliant. This cardi has definately been the sleeper hit of spring/summer for me - and I know I would not have looked twice at it in a shop.
