Plus size chat / what are you wearing today sort of thread?

[ParisJeTAime]

We used to have one of these and it was fab!

It was vaguely for size 18+, but I know a 5 foot size 16 is not the same as a 6 foot one, so don't think it needs to be strict.

Anyway, if anyone would like to join me they'd be v welcome.

FWIW, I'm a tall size 18, apple shape.

Still in my PJs . Then going out for a walk / run (stating C25K again).

Lovely dark! You look properly dressed, unlike me today

Thank you @ParisJeTAime for starting this thread. I was a lurker and occasional poster on the previous one.

Currently am rocking the neutral look pale flared jeans from Next, green top from Seasalt and taupe/grey block cardi from ??Joules?? Am on a week off and have definately gone into comfort mode.

I am the picture of sartorial elegance this morning. Not.

Grey hooded long length cardigan from TU (which has been a godsend for home working) over the long T-shirt and leggings that I slept in and my Ugg Mini Fluffs. Classy!

Next weekend some friends and I are having a zoom drinks party and we've all agreed to get dressed up. I am beyond excited!

First time dressed in anything other than lounge pants or pjs so I thought I’d share! Please excuse the grotty mirror, my kids just cleaned their teeth

This makes me look quite trim I think but it is the angle for sure. I love this scarf so much. Under the scarf I’m wearing a khaki coloured lightweight knit tunic thing.

(Quite trim considering the size of these items is 22)

@StCharlotte could I ask you how Cotton Traders fitting is.
I have never ordered from them.

Just posted this on the wrong thread .

Anyway, you look lovely @MustardMitt!

Here I am in Breton, longline sweatshirt and jeggings, both from Uniqlo. Necklace from charity shop.

I'm wearing my sinophant black XL leggings, black M&S t-shirt ( I have tons of black cotton t-shirts from lots of different brands all slightly different lengths and necks depending on what I'm wearing them with. This one is V-neck, old and now out of shape so I just wear it at home. And over that my trusty thick cotton hoodie which is one of 2 that I seem to wear constantly at the moment because they're so comfy.

Lovely ladies, you both look so cosy.

We are having zoom birthday drinks for a friend tonight so still in my pyjamas . Thinking a maxi dress and slippers?! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Oh YY to getting dressed up for drinks and you have to post a pic too please! I'll live vicariously through you, as I am not likely to dress up for a while . Wish this cold snap would end and I could wear some frocks

Love a dress!

Far from the best picture but I forgot and after a few glasses of wine it’s the best I could muster. Size 16 H&M dress. Definitely right up there with Zara sizing!

I love that sweatshirt @ParisJeTAime.

Cute dark! Hope you had a good evening. I've had a few myself! Not a school night, so I say it's fine.

Thanks Mustard! It is very snuggly. I've just got a few more things from Uniqlo actually, which arrived today. Need to try on, but I find them really good for basics and not too £££.

@poorremus, just realised I didn't welcome you (back) to the thread !

I love these threads, so very glad it has started up again.

I'm in the same thing I had on yesterday! Won't post a pic of the same thing. My new Uniqlo bits look fine. Not terribly exciting, just some cosy jumpers and long sleeved tops. They will be useful though for over jeans and leggings etc.

A cosy day here with a head that says I didn’t need that last glass of wine . Popping out for a walk.

Sorry Maverick66 I've only just seen this.

I would say they're fairly true to size although if you're unsure or want a looser fit go up a size.

Oooh today I wore some jeans! M&S Ivy jeans (love them)! With a jumper from a local boutique, one size fits all so she's not hugely forgiving but it's camel and says rebel rebel in the front which for some reason me DH finds highly amusing.

I also feel obliged to tell you all I got some Spanx leggings game changer. Take. My. Money.

I decided to wear something 'nice' today as it's my birthday, I am doing nothing but have wafted about the house and watched films whilst husband cooked a Roast, I have on cropped black jeans, and a One Hundred Stars Collar Kimono* that was brought for Christmas wafting which ended up cancelled as my brother and family ended up isolating.

*I adore their short kimonos and have at 5 and now have 2 longer style ones as I live in them once the weather warms as no-one wants or needs to see my arms.

Happy Birthday @GreyHare. Love one hundred stars and still weep over the Paris dressing gown I left in Greece a few summers ago.

Happy Birthday *@GreyHare*. Love one hundred stars and still weep over the Paris dressing gown I left in Greece a few summers ago.

Oh no that must have been annoying, I adore the fabric they use, I haven't purchased a gown yet but have been so so tempted, I did purchase an opera coat from their earlier ranges, but I am awaiting more designs of the collar kimono to appear on the site as I do prefer the longer length.

It was. I left it on the hook of the bedroom door, housekeeping said it wasn’t there 😔. Really should replace it but it was my going away to hot places one and we haven’t been many places in the past 18mths.

Happy birthday grey hare 😁

👋 @livingdeadgirluk

I feel like we're missing a few from the old thread. It's it etiquette to tag people? , I'm unsure 🤔 it's hard to know if people have name changed a well.

@sonjadog

Happy birthday @GreyHare

I have the short Paris kimono from One Hundred Stars (it did get one outing on last year's thread). I am hoping it will get a trip to Greece this year...

@ParisJeTAime thanks for starting this thread I've been terrible the last few weeks and have just lived in slobs, it's not good for me really as don't bother with hair or makeup and I feel rubbish for it.

I did go to Sainsburys on my own today and forced myself to put something decent on. I'm wearing, Sainsbury's TU T-shirt, Matalan Jeggings, m & s long cardigan and Russell Bromley boots.

I love to mix up more expensive bits with ( usually TU ) supermarket type stuff. I buy a lot of my more expensive stuff on eBay tbh and have a bad addiction for shoes and handbags.

I've been a 26/28 and I'm now a 18/20 ( probably more a 20 tbh ) with a large tummy and boobs, typical apple shaped with quite small legs but a large torso and flat bum.

I'm loving all the photos, some lovely casual outfits and dresses ( my favourite ) it'd be nice to post on here, will encourage me to actually get dressed when homeschooling rather than hang about in loungewear all day, I used to be a get up and dressed, hair and makeup kinda lady but that's all gone a bit awry so here's hoping!

I got DD to take a photo of me today as the mirror in my room is so dark you can see anything!
