want stylish, plus-size fashion chats? start here.
Living life in a fat body, whether you identify yourself that way or not, can be a challenge. When I started outfit blogging, it was to share what I was wearing, where I was buying clothes, and build a community of women who looked like me. I promise you, friend, you can wear whatever you want. Stylish plus-size fashion is here, if you know where to look, and getting better every year. Let’s talk about that.
23 Plus-Size Jumpers to Cosy Up in this Winter
The most clicks in the AW2021 trends report were to some beautiful jewel-coloured plus-size jumpers. Heading into the cooler months here, chunky, soft, cosy jumpers are in high demand; I get it. Defined as a knitted garment typically with long sleeves, worn over the upper body; jumper. You know the ones. With that in mind, I went looking a little further afield and found some GOLD.
You need a long cardigan in your wardrobe {she wore what}
Heading out into the world this week was interesting. It was cool enough for a coat, locally, but still warm enough that you could wear slides. Or, at least, I could. I know, don’t come for me, I’m warm-blooded, what can I say? I ran around doing a few errands, picking up groceries and reminding myself why I hate spending too much time at the shops. We spotted these doors, and despite a large amount of flora growing around it, I decided it was a perfect spot to grab some photos. Perfect may be a stretch, but we got them anyway – victory!
For the love of Docs {she wore what}
I mentioned on Instagram that I was breaking in some new Docs and didn't know if I could take it. This old girl is so far past wearing anything that makes her uncomfortable; heck, most days I refuse to wear a bra. And those who know know breaking in a new pair of Dr Martens is some next level feet (ankle, heel) pain you can endure. Read the comments on the Instagram post; it's not a "me thing". But the other thing we know is that once you wear them in, once the leather gives and you're through the worst, Docs are soft and wonderful, and you can live your life in them. So, you suffer. And you do it happily for the love of the Docs.
I’ve been struggling to get in front of a camera {she wore what}
Recently I spoke about how my mojo feels like it packed up and left. Which, when you directly relate it to this blog, means taking photos of myself mostly. It's what connects me to you and ultimately does well in the general search/Pinterest/SEO world. But I've been struggling to get in front of a camera. That's the long and the short of it.

Where to buy plus size clothes for teenagers
I know what I'm talking about when it comes to plus size clothes for teenagers. How? Well, I've been over 5'10" since I was 12. To say that I was a plus-size teen is an understatement. I was tall, large and in varying stages of puppy fat and angst-driven disordered...
Suger’s bumper plus size fashion directory
Welcome one and all to Suger's BUMPER plus-size fashion directory. After the success of the list from Melbourne Fashion Week Plus (I know some of you still refer to that), I thought it was time to start compiling a list of stores for plus-size women. So, no matter...
Where to buy plus size pyjamas and sleepwear
We're bringing this where to buy post to you today by request! In the past year or two, we have certainly learned to love our loungewear, and a big part of that is sleepwear. When I first received the request, I was like, errr, this will be a short ass list. But, the more I looked into it, the more I found some great options from big and small plus-size retailers.
Size does matter in Australian Plus-Size Fashion
This week we saw another brand launch into the Australian plus-size fashion market. Fronted by one of the biggest names in plus, American model Ashley Graham, with the locals following loyally behind. The Commonry burst onto the scene with the sort of ripples a well-bought marketing strategy can buy. It's reminiscent of other brands who have attempted similar in years gone by. Brands, which for the most part, don't sell plus here anymore. I'll let you put two and two together.
