I raided mum's wardrobe for an outfit

Sep 13, 2023

A PLUS-SIZED fashionista has revealed her simple hack to make clothes look more flattering - and it only takes seconds.

Poppy Adams, who splits her time between Essex and Edinburgh, regularly shares her shopping hauls and outfit tips on social media (@poppyadams).

She aims to inspire her 400,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok to "love and accept their bodies".

In a recent video, the size 22 beauty raided her mum's wardrobe to pull an outfit together for a casual look.

"When I come back to Essex to visit my parents I tend to pack (relatively) lightly and just raid my mum’s wardrobe/my old wardrobe daily for outfit inspo", she said.

Poppy paired a patchwork print maxi dress with a lime green T-shirt from Sainsbury's, a belt, and a pair of Converse.

She added: "This outfit is a mish mash of old/new things that belong to both me and my mum.

"A brown belt would have been preferable but this one was all I had."

And it's her clever styling tip for dresses that's really impressed her fellow fashion fans.

"I ended up turning this dress back to front as it felt too high cut for me", she said.

"Don’t be afraid to wear items back to front, upside down, tucked in etc. Fashion is fun."

Poppy's Instagram video has racked up more than 74,000 views, and social media users are loving her clever hack.

One gushed: "Omg wearing it backwards is such a good idea. I’m in love with your style."

A second agreed: "This dress is everything."

A third wrote: "Gorgeous as always."

Meanwhile, a fourth added: "I love this outfit especially the dress."

It's not the first time Poppy has turned to her mum's wardrobe for fashion inspiration.

Back in March, she challenged fashionistas to "name a more stylish mumma?!" after trying on some of her ASOS dresses.

Social media users insisted a maxi orange frock was "made for her", with one adding: "The orange on you is perfection."
