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).

I'm having a linen kind of day. Calling the look 'crumpled cool'. Beige cropped trousers from sainsburys and a khaki green floaty sleevless top from Gap.

Today - dress from H&M

Love that @sonjadog!

I am also in an H&M dress and also rocking the crumpled cool look, (because it needs an iron, but there is no way I'm getting my iron out today).

Oh I like that H&M dress @sonjadog.

I also very much like the dress from Fenella - it's nice to see dresses like that which aren't really long or don't have some unnecessary design feature like an asymetric hem or something (my pet hate sorry).

I'd be up for dress up Friday although I'd possibly draw the line at fancy dress now I'm back in the office. Then again...

I'm wearing the factor 50 dress today. I'm not sure I actually like it but it is cool and needs must.

Seasalt grey linen trousers - very crumpled and a plain white T. Flat Hush Puppies gold sandals - must be few years old now but very soft and comfortable.

It’s too hot!

I like that dress Sonja.

ASOS Curve maxi dress today. To the floor and slits in the front to catch that breeze!

I really have to share this - I just got this dress today, it is so perfect for this weather! H&M Airy dress. Not me in the photo! I've got XL ( I'm an 18) and it is lovely - light fabric but not see through. So this is what I'm wearing today!

Just in case I need to the credit the photo, it's from the blog by Chelsey Ocean.

LadyPrigsbottom · 12/08/2020 13:49

Oh love those dresses @DelphiniumBlue and @LordOfTheOnionRings!

I have just bought a linen blend dress from &Other Stories, online. Will have to see what it's like on. This weather has made me realise that I don't have enough dresses which are suitable for really warm weather.

@BestIsWest, ah another one for the crumpled cool club Wink!

My dress is already ruined from toddler throwing stuff at me and general sweatiness Blush. Feel like getting changed at least once every day at the moment.

@DelphiniumBlue obsessed with those sandals. Where did you get them?

DelphiniumBlue · 12/08/2020 14:07

I looked for poorremus's dress but couldn't find it on the website. It is probably worth visiting that shop ( London N8) I've had some fabulous jeans from there and a couple of jumpers.
If you like that loose linen look, Kit & Kaboodal are a great online company.

DelphiniumBlue · 12/08/2020 14:10

They're not my sandals, and the photo isn't me! It's from Chelsey Ocean's blog, hopefully you can find out from her where the sandals are from.

WanderingTrolley1 · 12/08/2020 14:16

La Redoute dress. Size 18.

You ladies look lovely today!

I am at home, BOILING 🥵 Spent half day in my underwear only, but since OT and children came back home from visiting family this morning, was forced to make myself decent- summer dress with straps. I am in London, it's +33'C at the moment! Days like these makes me want to loose weight even more!

DelphiniumBlue · 12/08/2020 14:26

WanderingTrolley1 that dress is very nice - looks cool and wafty.
I am in London too and it is 38C in the shade in my shady garden!
DH has gone out in jeans regardless, I honestly think I'd faint if I put on jeans now.

DelphiniumBlue · 12/08/2020 14:29

Turns out those platform sandals are H&M in the sale now at £12.00!

LordOfTheOnionRings · 12/08/2020 14:37

Thanks @DelphiniumBlue I'm going to buy them theyre gorgeous!!

poorremus · 12/08/2020 14:53

@WanderingTrolley1 love that dress!

FenellaMaxwell · 12/08/2020 15:03

Oh this is weird - I haven’t posted on this thread for weeks, and just found it again..... I am now wearing the same dress as @LadyPrigsbottom having spilt coffee over the dress I had on this am, which is the same one as @sonjadog has on! Grin

LivingDeadGirlUK · 12/08/2020 15:06

Forgot the pic :)

@LordOfTheOnionRings that dress is lovely!

LivingDeadGirlUK · 12/08/2020 15:09

@DelphiniumBlue I have the same issue with mine, he will now wear a lighter walking trouser rather than just jeans, but never shorts!

Ha! That's bonkers! We must all have equally fantastic taste Wink.

@JerseyMermaid I should have guessed that really 😂. I have lived in Devon all my adult life and would never live anywhere else.

Liking all of these dresses. I've been wearing worn out crap today and fortunately forgot to take a photo. It has been 32 here also!!

LivingDeadGirlUK · 13/08/2020 08:32

Today I'm wearing an Olive green version of the H&M dress I wore 2 days ago. Also a size large but strangely a bit shorter than the other colour.
