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).

@poorremus, I've also had a mixed bag. First box was lovely and I kept everything. Second was really meh and I only kept two things. I think it was maybe a communication fail though. I had asked them to concentrate on everyday wear, so they sent all tops and a pair of jeans. It was a little bit disappointing, as I'd made a interesting board and linked them to it, with all lovely, summery casual outfits, dresses, skirts, shorts etc. Anywho, I'm getting another box for autumn. Finger crossed!

Here I am in Seasalt dress, via eBay, size 18. Red Clark's Mary Jane's, also via eBay and charity shop necklace.

I like your shoes. I have trouble getting shoes that I like. I don't do dainty footwear or anything above a very small heel.

LadyPrigsbottom · 13/07/2020 16:45

Thanks @sonjadog! I love them too. Think they are quite marmite, but I love them. I also love marmite, but that's irrelevant Grin.

@DelphiniumBlue where is that dress from?

I’ve found my weight sneaking up over the last 6 months and am definitely in a 16. Unfortunately none of my summer clothes fit and we are going away for a week and I need some sundresses/ swimming costumes and don’t want to spend a fortune, but hate polyester and viscose 😢.

Hellhath · 13/07/2020 17:52

My favourite petite loose jersey pants from Next, a cream vest top from Weirdfish and a bright orange cardi from Fatface. Sandals are Blowfish Granola in tan, the comfiest sandals in the world.

DelphiniumBlue · 13/07/2020 18:46

ForSaleChesterDraws , the dress is from Roman. It's loose and comfortable and covers a multitude of sins but it is polyester, I think. Not cotton, anyway.

sonjadog · 13/07/2020 18:47

Here is a bad photo of a new dress I got today. It cost 6 pounds!

I have been wanting these shoes for a while now, but I can't quite bring myself to spend that amount of money on them.

A cheap wear about the house that I bought from Amazon. It looks and feels like linen but is actually polyester.

LadyPrigsbottom · 13/07/2020 20:00

Love the dress and the shoes @sonjadog! Maybe there is a discount code or something?

@Sonjadog Unidays offers a 10% discount on Dr Martens. I can get you a code from my DD if that would help?

sonjadog · 13/07/2020 23:04

That is a very kind offer! If she is happy to give me the code that would be great. Thanks!

ChequerBoard · 14/07/2020 08:47

@sonjadog here you go, it's a one time use code so please no-one else try to use it!

Cute outfit @QueenCT!

I am in an ancient National Air and Space Museum tshirt and navy shorts, as I'm doing some sorting out in my dc's bedroom.

I'm excited for you that you got a code for those shoes @sonjadog! That was lovely of you and your dd @ChequerBoard Flowers.

Shoes are ordered! Thank you so much for the code!

I ordered a slightly different pair than are in the link I posted. When I read the reviews, a lot said that those ones rubbed a lot at the heel. I get blisters on the back of my heel really easily, and I couldn't face going through the pain. So I ordered a very similar pair, but that don't have the pattern on the front. The reviews for them don't mention the rubbing. I will post a photo when they arrive.

Evening all.

Back in the office now. Turns out I've probably been smarter working on my landing as everyone is in shorts or jeans and t shirts. Can't do that as I (personally) need to dress for work as I have all through lockdown.

Anyway, today I was wearing this dress and some sandals a bit like these.

Oh welcome back to working in the office @StCharlotte!

Here I am in very boring Uniqlo jeggings and M&S top. Looking extremely top heavy (which I am) due to camera angle.

Not up to much today and the weather can't seem to make up its mind at all here.

I'm wearing quite silly multicoloured patchwork linen sharwal harem trousers and a long black shark bite hem top. Just for slobbing about at home. No shoes, but I have some cheap slip on black trainers standing by, if needed.

Love the shape of your skirt, sonja.
