Hi everyone,

I love reading what everyone wears, I'm always stuck for ideas so this thread is great. Vikki it sounds you you got some bargains at Primark, i'm off to Lakeside on Sunday so may have a little look round and see if i can find anything.

Today was another day at work, and i wore:

Black and white striped roll neck (Warehouse)
Black trousers (Next)
Black pumps (Faith)
And again my black mag

Off out later so just got changed into:

Black leggings (Primark) £2.50 i think
Chestnut colour Uggs - (Ugg in America) £134
Long black cardigan (New Look)
Purple top (Warehouse)

Hello Ladies

Outfit today was
Brown with cream pin stripe wide legged trousers (DP's)
Cream scoop neck top (Principles)
Brown cardi with toggles instead of buttons (toggles - remember them!) (Peacocks)
Brown leather over body satchel type bag (simply be)
brown wedges (DP's)

I love to read everyone's outfits

I have been inspired by this thread to look in some charity shops for some finds but all the charity shops near me are full of tat!

I haven't worked out how to comment on blogs yet (I'm not a complete technophobe, honest!) but just wanted to say that the outfit looks lovely and the pattern on the dress is beautiful

What are people's thoughts on belts for plus size girls? I'm not brave enough to try them as I fear I would look like a sack of spuds with a rope tied round it :rolleyes: Don't really want to make my stomach and hips look any wider in comparison to the rest of me either!

I'm wary too, alexnikov. Today I used a scarf both to hitch up my dress and conceal stains:o but otherwise, n'uhuh.

Part of the problem is my narrowest bit is my true waist, not the bit above, and belting my waist accentuates the bulge above

Same around here for the most part, however a new one has recently opened that looks more promising
(so I say now!)

Thanks so much for your comments. Alexnikov, click on the '0 comments' link and it will open a form.

I think you should try a wide belt. Make sure it's not too tight or uncomfortable and sit it right on your waist. It'll look great! I often use them to break up block colours as well as create a shape.
