Thrifting or second hand shopping as a plus size person can be difficult. I’ve been to stores that are rumoured to have a great plus size range only to find that it only goes up to a size 18, I’ve found many many dud outfits (think of the nana fat girl clothes from the 90’s) and I’ve had some real misses buying from online sellers.

I was fortunate enough to stumble upon Chubby Cartwheels – a plus size clothing and accessories store whose website actually makes me want to have my entire paycheck direct credited straight to them. Yes, it’s that amazing.
Trend Tip: Floral Bouquet
Florals are usually more of a summer trend, but I’ve decided that you can add tights and a cardigan or a blazer to anything and make it winter-suitable. Finding nice floral pieces in plus sizes is not the easiest task, as so many floral prints come off looking nana-ish or like they belong on a sofa, so I’ve done the hard yards and found you ten of my floral faves.
