Fat Girl Summer 2 Electric Boogaloo💅☀️

[ChishiyaBat]

Starting a new thread for @Lwrenn who is slaying in her compression stockings right now.

Hi girls! Just got home, full of all wonderful painkillers! Getting spoilt with hot chocolate and off for some sleep now!

Soon as I can be back in my cowgirl boots I'll be dancing away to steps or something 😂

Your kind words have really cheered me up! Lovely people on this thread and thanks @ChishiyaBat for the thread 🦇

Meanwhile I am on holiday without an ounce of confidence.

I felt fat when I got here and feel like I’m getting fatter by the day!! I need to get over it and just enjoy myself.

Youngest Dd and I are going out for a walk just now and then we will go for a swim when we get back.

I am going to pick a nice outfit for tonight.

@OhsunshineWhereAreYou I hope you have a lovely day, Enjoy your holiday, it's not easy when you are not feeling good about yourself I know. I hope your outfit for tonight makes you feel better❤️.

@Lwrenn glad you are home and full of the good stuff. Rest up and get well soon❤️.

I'm supposed to be in work today, but i've got a cold and a really bad chest, lung pain, short of breath and feel like crap so i'm just going to have a nice hot shower, dose up on meds and my asthma pumps and get nice clean pjs on.

Oh hello! Can I join you please?

Currently a size 20/22. I've just done a MASSIVE wardrobe clear out ans got rid of all the things that no longer fit.

I love the thread title 😂 - although I struggle to watch that episode

Welcome, come on in👋🏻. I really need to go through mine and do the same, but I have a lot of vintage pieces that were my Nan's, they will never fit me, but they have sentimental value.

We have an actual Ulla Popken shop here. I must check it out.

I’ve just found my holy grail of underwired bra. It’s Adella from Brastop. Nothing digs in or rubs and it’s really comfy. Still after holy grail big pants though.

Thank you for the welcome @ChishiyaBat and for the bra recommendation @lettucetruss

I've just bought something called a mini shop from an online stylist. If you know your body shape and colour season, you pay something like £11.00 and you get a pdf with links to clothes for your body shape and colour season. They have a section for plus size.

Not sure it would be that useful if you're not in the UK as it seems to be all UK shops. But places like Simply Be and Yours and New Look, so not £££

I sound like an advert but I swear I don't work for them 😂

V helpful, I am on the hunt for a new bra at the moment! My faves are Prima Donna but they are insanely expensive - the ones I have were a gift or Vinted!

I've just ordered this skirt im going to wear it with trainers or ankle boots and a crop tshirt. I need you would all appreciate it because it's beautiful 😍

I know should say lol

Hello, friends! @ChishiyaBat Thank you for the new thread. Sounds like you're in the ward just now, hope you feel better soon. And you too, @Lwrenn. Hot chocolate and sleep is a good combo.

I've been busy of late so haven't had much chance to check in. Took my inlaws to the theatre last weekend and wore a new skirt that swished pleasingly around my ankles. Took my teen DD shopping for holiday togs and bought some lovely bright green things. And a white maxi skirt because now I think I am addicted to maxi skirts. My hairdresser came back from his holiday sooner than I expected so I was able to get my hair cut and feel loads better about life. 😎

Oooh that is prety @Dollyparot200 ❤️ I have one quite similar, I wear it with a band graphic tshirt or corset style top and my old faithful new rocks or huge platform sandals, I love it. Thanks @Hecatoncheires your purchases sound interesting, i'd love to see them sometime, I love green💚. I live in maxi skirts and dresses, the swishing makes life much better😁.

Thanks for new thread @ChishiyaBat and hope you feel better soon

Hope you recover soon too @Lwrenn

Thanks ❤️@ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea i'll be ok I'm sure. My asthma has been playing up lately and this cold has been the icing on the cake.

Oh I love this!!! It’s so pretty!🥰

@ThePeopleDemand is it Emily from Style Me Happy? She’s amazing. I had a couple of mini shops and they were great. Sadly, I’m a bit set in my ways so didn’t get anything but it was a good reference.

@Lwrenn glad you’re home and resting. Hope you perk up soon.

@ChishiyaBat sorry you’re feeling rough. Asthma is a pain. I don’t have it myself but my daughter suffers.

I’ve just cleared out some of the clothes that are looking a bit worse for wear in my wardrobe. I keep buying stuff and then putting them in tbe charity bag a year later with the labels on. I need to stop doing this but it’s so hard when I feel like things are just ok. I never really buy anything that I feel 100% in.

@BeretRaspberry thank you❤️it is a pain, you'd think i'd be used to it after 44 years, but nope, I hope your daughter doesn't suffer too much.

I really need to sort my wardrobe, but it's difficult at the moment as I can't really get in my room and it them because my granddaughters cot is in the way, since my daughter&granddaughter moved back home space is not a thing😂.

It'd look cracking with DM boots if you're a bit rough round the edges 😂. Beaut. Oh @RobinEllacotStrike that black dress is so flattering on you. Really lovely. I have one very similar and it makes me feel all floaty. Gorgeous. I've had mine for a few years, I think it's a classic style. Easily dressed up or down. OK need to read and catch up.

Today I wore my grey combats (thank you Mr café Nero man fit the compliment on them), my grey leopard trainers and a Freddie kreuger top I can't even find online. I'll see if I can get a pic. Might buy the combats in another colour. Just love them. (next grey adjustable cargo pants - real 90s style). Dark glasses due to covid headaches.

@TruthThatsHardAsSteel Thanks I have DM sandles the boots aren't wide enough for my feet so I will wear them with my new skirt.

I’m being brave and posting a pic for the first time ever! This is one of my new swishy skirts. Annoyingly, there is muck on my mirror which looks like dirt on my swishy skirt. I enjoyed wearing it very much even though it was rather slippy on the theatre upholstery. 😆

You look wonderful @Hecatoncheires ❤️ the pattern on that skirt is lovely and swishing about is so much fun💃

I love the swishy skirt @Hecatoncheires !

Oh my goodness. I typed a reply in browser, tagging usernames, then it wouldn't post so I've lost most of it. Here's some, sorry I can't go through finding all the name spellings again. 😭

@hecatoncheries that skirt is gorgeous! Looks really well. Lots of colours could match with it too. Be brave, do the thing. You look wonderful!

Chish - Oh no hope you're feeling better soon. I wouldn't risk the hellbunny skirt but definitely keep searching for it. I wanted a red skull dress I had in blue (cowboy style) and after a few months of daily stalking, I finally got it!!). Hellbunny size guides are pretty accurate but then there's a question of whether it's older or newer. I have seen quite a difference in the same size dress from different eras. Hope you can find it in a good size

LLwrenn - Glad you're home safe and sound. A great reason to eat chocolate!

Lady on holiday - you need to find your inner diva. Is there any music that empowers you? Eye of the tiger? I hope you're finding your groove. Life's too short for this - you are you, and you are f***g amazing. ❤️💕

welcome to the new people ❤️

The style profile sounds interesting, I've never heard such a thing. Would love a link or something to browse.

So you can all sleep tonight, here's Freddie . Definitely not to 99.9% of anyone's taste here, I know.

@TruthThatsHardAsSteel thank you, that made me emotional…You are so right. I need to stop making everything I do about my size. It’s an obsession at the moment.

I can totally relate. It can become an obsession and is exhausting.

Love this! Where's the skirt from? 🙂
