Shopping...I love love love shopping. I love shopping for my daughter's clothes, for my daughter's toys, for my husband, for my house, for my hobbies, for almost everything under the sun...EXCEPT my clothes! It's such a terrible terrible world out there for fat chicks when it comes to clothing.
Okay so let's name a few of the 'skinny' girls favorite stores; Abercrombie, Hollister, Pac Sun, American Eagle, Charlotte Russe, Maurices, Talbot, New York and Company, Buckle, Old Navy, Gap, the big department stores, and of course Victoria Secret's.
Let's see, what do us fat chicks have to look forward to; Lane Bryant (for clothes and undergarments), and very very small sections in the department stores, Cato, and Fashion Bug. I personally do not care for ANY of the options for fat chicks. It is extremely hit and miss. Most of the plus size clothing out there is made for the 'older' population, or is way too flashy for the 'normal' everyday wear. I know not everyone who is plus sized out there is as much of a 'tomboy' as I am, but I'm pretty sure not everyone of them want to be walking around everyday with a big bling bling flower on our shirt or those little bitty cap sleeves. I also am pretty sure that most of us don't want to be walking around with our cleavage hanging out of all the v-neck shirts that are made to take the attention away from us being fat. Come on now, people know we are fat, showing our cleavage isn't going to cover it up. Where is the 'plain jane' clothing that I want? You know what I mean, the cute jeans (that don't show your crack everytime you sit down), and the cute crew neck tops. Skinny people have them, why not us?
Because of all of the previous things mentioned, shopping trips turn into all day emotional roller coaster rides that usually end up in only buying one or two things (if any). The shopping trips I take usually end in taking home more for Kylie or Cory than myself, when it was suppose to be a trip for ME to get clothes. Trust me when I tell you I try on a MILLION things, well at least as many as they have in that store. Everything either fits funny or is way too fancy or blingy for my style. I usually end up having at least one, if not five, breakdowns in the dressing room per trip.
So, what's in the closet of a fat chick who can't find clothes? Well let me tell you, I have a closet full of clothes, most of which don't fit. Why don't they fit? Well this goes back to my post about weight loss, it goes up and down more than the stock market. So if they don't fit what do I wear? Well I have two pairs of jeans that fit properly, one pair of black pants, a few random tshirts, and about three half way dressy shirts that I wear at all times! Yeah I know, it's sounds bad huh? Well I'm just thankful that I have clothes.
That's pretty much the life of a fat chick and fashion. Trust me, I wish I were more fashionable, then I would have more wearable clothes. When it comes down to it, us fat chicks can't even enjoy a girls most treasured hobby, clothes shopping!
Thanks for reading!
and Happy shopping!
