I would say that I have a style, Im just not sure how I would characterize it!
I wear a lot of fit and flare dresses - like you I dont want it tight on my hips.
So I have this dress in lots of designs - Im lucky cos DP have been bringing out this style for many years! It can be dressed up or down too depending on the print/colour.

I always have a cardi on over the top unless I have sleeves to the elbow.
I wouldnt say I am fashionable but I do like some fashions - atm I like skull/cross prints, aztec print, nautical theme. I think a lot of fashion you have to be very slim to work tho, not all styles translate across all sizes - like cut out dresses and disco pants/pvc/leather look.
I wear leggins and tights all the time but always with my bum covered, I always think that when people wear leggins and a top that they just look like they forgot to put their skirt on lol
I see loads of people on the net slagging off fatties for wearing leggings tho and I always wonder do they mean that? like when they have the crotch/bum showing or do they mean leggins full stop. Like under a dress and its still not acceptable? lol What do they want fat people to wear?
