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).

Monsoon shirt and next skirt - both size 16, so therefore I just be! (I wish!)

Both charity shop.

Actually dried my hair today for the first time in days!! It’s a tad cooler but not loads!!

Today I'm wearing one of my many pairs of navy cigarette trousers with this top from Boden and these shoes from the Evans sale.

Hi all thanks for the kind welcome. I'm not really typical Mumsnet clothing 😂

Some really lovely dresses here, love seeing the different styles. I'm not out a lot as my work is still closed, so was out walking today. Goodness the heat.

I can easily lie under a fluffy blanket in the house 😂

I seem to have something on my t shirt in the outside pic so I've put up two

@livingdeadgirluk what dms are currently breaking your heart? I'm finding I have to wear plasters with all footwear even previously well worn and loved. My feet are so dramatic.

Ill hoke a photo out of my boots. I vowed no dms but HAD to buy these

Today's clothes are all old. T shirt was bought at comicon, trousers are 16new look charity shop. Same ebay jacket and cheapy trainers.

Think I need to order some new bras 👀 I don't feel like experiencing the whole bravissimo experience right now

@Myshitisreal its these shoes I got for work, the line at the heel is very stiff. I'm giving them another outing tomorrow for a site visit and will put plasters over my heels to pre empt. I assume they will wear in eventually.

I've a fab pair of knee high dm's that are soooo comfy. Cant wait to get them out in autumn.

StCharlotte · 13/08/2020 20:29

My feet are so dramatic.

Grin Love that line!

And I bet they plot with each other while you're sleeping. The bastards.

Myshitisreal · 13/08/2020 22:14

😂 @stcharlotte it wouldn't surprise me, the shit they're giving me.

Here are the prized dms. I have 14holes I still haven't broken in after owning a couple of years. Bar taking a hammer to them, I'm not sure what else I can do!

Hope everyone's well. I'm in Northern Ireland, we've been promised thunderstorms all week but alas, no.

We finally got rain today (SE England) and how! Flashfloods and all sorts Confused

LordOfTheOnionRings · 14/08/2020 07:42

Trusted black River Island dress on today as I'm still sweating my tits off (rather under my tits off).

@Myshitisreal I respect anyone who can wear leather in this humidity. Hays off to you!

Remember those flying squirrel jumpsuits everyone on MN was buying on eBay a few years ago? I found my leopard print one yesterday- I will wear it until the heat goes away. It is ridiculously comfy & cool.

StCharlotte · 14/08/2020 09:32

Navy and cream pleated skirt and navy short sleeved sweater both from H&M about ten years ago. Appalling photo, sorry!

Oooooo DM chat! I need to catch up!

Excuse lack of post yesterday! Bit of a weird day here.

Anyway, here I am in top from Tu (22 I think), new look shirt, 18 and a charity shop belt. DH thinks the boots and socks look silly with it... may change for hairdresser later, but this morning, I'm in my boots!

Haven't looked properly at all the outfits yet, sorry, but love your trousers @LivingDeadGirlUK, those DMs @Myshitisreal are amazing!

I've managed to survive a couple hours on my feed, with the plasters on my heels to stop the rubbing. I have to say they are incredibly comfy shoes when they are not eating into your ankles!

LivingDeadGirlUK · 14/08/2020 11:17

I like the boots @LadyPrigsbottom, gives you a very Elizabeth Bennet look :)

LadyPrigsbottom · 14/08/2020 11:53

Tu top*
New look skirt*

Typos!

Thanks @LivingDeadGirlUK Smile. Glad the shoes are working out for you!

Today’s outfit. I am not hugely keen on the leggings but the pinafore stops over knee and when I am sitting down at work I feel that there is too much pasty white leg on show without them. Much too hot for tights today.

Cute @sonjadog! I like the leggings with tbw trainers. I like a bit of ankle on show, me Grin.

Good luck with the haircut @LadyPrigsbottom!

LadyPrigsbottom · 14/08/2020 13:31

Thanks @StCharlotte! I cannot WAIT! Counting down the minutes. Will report back. Shame a pic would be too outing, but hey ho.

StCharlotte · 14/08/2020 19:20

Hope it went well. I'm having a pedicure tomorrow and I'm more excited about that than I was about my haircut last week Grin

LadyPrigsbottom · 14/08/2020 19:42

Oh a pedicure sounds amazing! My feet could certainly use it.

Hair was fine, thanks. Nothing earth shattering, but definitely feels a lot nicer. Bit weird with all the new procedures, but I'll be used to it next time.

Can I join?
Having looked through most of your pictures, I think all of you lovely ladies look fabulous and it's great to see the variety of styles you all have!
I recently had baby number2 and have gained quite a bit of extra 'wobbly bits' particularly on my stomach, so am gradually learning how to style the new me to look nice and feel comfortable and confident.

LadyPrigsbottom · 14/08/2020 20:02

Of course @popgoesperfection Smile! You're very welcome.

Yes, I am very wobbly on the tum too. It is my problem area for sure.
