Hi all. I'm a size 14/16 right now and don't have any clothes that fit me. Need to buy a few things to make me feel a bit more confident. What are your staples? And any pics of your day to day style would be so helpful!

What body shape are you OP? I think that matters more than clothing size, which can vary massively depending on height, build, etc.

I think this is a great idea for a thread but my newest stuff is sale items that's sold out. Does that count?

I wear the apparently “dated” midi floral/spotty/checked dress (usually from Nobody’s Child) and Birkenstocks or white converse.

or I wear linen tapered or wide leg trousers with a fitted white black or strip T-shirts or body suit. I also have some linen joggers from H&M which I am obsessed with.

or oversized linen shirts sometimes with a strappy top under (depending on the weather) with the also apparently “dated” skinny Jean or straight Jean. Or sometimes with linen shorts weather dependant.

im 32, 5 ft 6, 14/16 carrying my post partum baby weight on my belly.

I have a fairly capsule wardrobe of about 5-6 colourful midi dresses (mostly button down as I’m still breastfeeding, or some smocked style for the same reason), some light blue jeans, black linen wide leg trousers, beige tapered linen trousers, white linen shorts, white linen shirt, blue striped linen shirt, pink linen shirt, black/white/grey/olive/stripe T-shirts or strappy top. Mix and match!

Love your style! Any chance you could link the h&m trousers you mentioned? I like the sound of them.

also pp and breastfeeding here, but a bit older than you

@Florencey aww thank you! cant link it for some reason but if you search 0954891036 on the app it brings the green ones up. I have the green and black. So comfy, wash so well, can dress up and down. I think when I ordered them back in April I got an XL, but I’ve lost weight since then and they’re pretty big on the waist but are draw strong so it’s fine!

I also have these trousers Tapered linen-blend trousers

Thank you! They are lovely, ooh might have to order some, I've had my eye on these on ASOS wondering if they might be worth an order.

@Florencey , that cost you're wearing in the last pic is so cute. Where is it from?

dudsville · 13/07/2023 21:15

Most of my wardrobe is now from the sales Toast have, so not worth linking, but like pps, i love midi dresses, i also like barrel or wide leg trousers and a-line or skirts.

It's from ASOS but it looks like it's no longer available so I can't link it.

Shame, that was a great find!
