Plus size chat / what are you wearing today sort of thread 2!

[ParisJeTAime]

Hello!

Following on from our previous thread, here is a shiny new one to see us through Spring / Summer and maybe beyond!

Feel free to join. We are very friendly and size inclusive.

@LivingDeadGirlUK - You must have been boiling!

Today I'm wearing a long silk floaty skirt from East (from back when they had actual shops!) with a vest top.

[LivingDeadGirlUK]

I wore jeans today like a fucking idiot :(

[alphaechokiwi]

I'm wearing Tu bermuda denim shorts and a Poetry t-shirt. I have to look a bit respectable on my top half when WFH

[Deathraystare]

Kim & Co black/pink culottes and a peachy pink Primarni t shirt.

[LivingDeadGirlUK]

Scorching here, I've been wearing an orange silk top from Hobbs and I have to say it really makes a difference in keeping me cooler.

@greyinganddecaying

I've been playing around with Stylebook & am going to wear this outfit for my jab trip

Not very exciting but a change from my normal day pyjamas!

Those boots are lush

[alphaechokiwi]

T-shirt - Toast, linen trousers - Tu (Sainsbury's)

[Deathraystare]

Joules navy Ebba leggings and a Lands End t shirt, my usual black skechers (slip on).

I'm not going into the office any time soon, but still have quite a few "work only" clothes - wide leg work trousers mainly & jersey shirts, maybe with a camisole underneath. Everything is stretchy, which is the only reason I can still fit in it all!

[alphaechokiwi]

Alternatively, any of those floaty patterned midi dresses around at the moment would work for the office depending on your height and shape. You could add a blazer to make it more formal if needed. Toast have some nice expensive shirt dresses in at the moment. But I don't know how they work on a pear shape

[alphaechokiwi]

@LivingDeadGirlUK, I'm still WFH. But when I'm returning to the office I think I'll wear some floaty silk shirts from which I bought on eBay which I'll pair with trousers and flats / Birkenstocks. I work in a corporate environment with a relaxed dress code. No jeans etc but full business attire not needed.
Today I'm wearing a Lucy and Yak jumpsuit.

They do a kind of pleated front trouser which I must admit I've been eyeing up.

Leggings and T shirt again but we have had a negative test result for my Son so we are allowed out!

Is anyone heading back into the office now? I'm struggling with office wear, we are back in as and when we need and I've just been going in casual clothes, but I actually like having different clothes for work and home. I don't fit into any of my blouses or summery tops now and looking to find some nice bits, bar a lovely orange silk top I've come stuck!

I'm in leggings and a t shirt today as we are self isolating again. The wee man has quite the cough but otherwise is bouncing around the house!

@alphaechokiwi

Today I'm wearing a wrap skirt (Toast) and a vest top (Tu).

Thats a lovely outfit! I am really drawn to Toast but I've not found the fit great for a curvy pear shape.

[Myshitisreal]

I wear black trainers instead of white. Not me at all!

Love the skirt vest combo..looks very cool.

I'm just in jeans and a tshirt today, its too warm and I was sweaty from my walk to the office.

[polkadotpjs]

Which pavers wedges are they please? I'm desperate for a comfy pair as I can't rock the white trainers look

[Myshitisreal]

This is what I'm wearing on Saturday

This is the one I bought 3 of - pure comfort. They get them back in stock regularly

[Myshitisreal]

Love the dress!!! Sorry I was dressed but have been in Loungies since.

Im the same with weight gain tbh, I'd say I'm up to an 18 now and I feel less than confident. I bought a couple of dresses and a really nice jumpsuit Andy in staying in Saturday, my first time out in forever.

I bought a few black jumpsuits just for lounging round the house. I got one, then realised how comfy it was (and how quickly I ruin its cleanness by making sourdough 😂) so I bought two more exactly the same 🤭

They're one size and fits me at size 18. I wouldn't have bought them if it wasn't for a thread on here where I got lots of help from lovely posters. I'll put the link up.

[LivingDeadGirlUK]

This was a great thread, I really lost my mojo over the first half of this year. I got very very busy at work and tbh it wasn't leaving me in the best health. Clothes were whatever I threw on and I've only got a few things that fit due to weight gain.

[poorremus]

@alphaechokiwi that looks fab. What a great dress!

[alphaechokiwi]

Here I am today. Boden dress from eBay and jigsaw cardigan. I'll pair with Birkenstocks milanos when I venture out...
