Everything I say is my own opinion. Everything I write is my experiences and stories. I have a sailors mouth and will most likely swear in my blogs.
So Ive made a decision to take anything out of my closest and drawers that doesn't make me feel fabulous. If I put it on and I'm not happy with fit or whatever, its gone. I will no longer hold on to clothes that use to fit hoping for them to fit again, they will be gone. And those comfy fat jeans will also be gone.
I feel this is something all females should do. There should be no reason to be putting on clothing you paid for that you don't feel beautiful in. For every item of clothing I buy at least 1-2 pieces of clothing that I don't LOVE are in the garbage.
Shopping as a plus size female is not always the easiest task. Living in a small city we do not have many options. We have a few plus size stores, but sometimes in my opinion, I feel like I need to dress like a teen hippster or a 40 year old teacher. Not much of a selection. And when there is something I like it's like 50 dollars for a shirt, which honestly I cannot afford. I do like Old Navy for somethings but lately it seems like the new trend is clothes that hang and have no shape. This doll needs shape! I love LOVE Forever21 but that's for another blog!
I went shopping this weekend and I was totally surprised that
1. Additionelle had a major sale
2.I found more than a few things I loved and fit good
For me its hard where I'm so short things kinda don't fit as they should. Or I have small shoulders so with coats and stuff the shoulders are bunchy and the sleeves are super long.Don't be afraid to tailor your clothes. If its a fantastic piece then its totally worth it.
Its sad going through the mall not even bothering going into really any clothing stores because to these more popular clothing franchises plus size is non existent. Annoying right! But honestly you can find your style. It just may take some research and digging.
Anyways Im over the moon that I gave Additionelle another try. The last visit there I left pretty unhappy not finding one thing I liked. I guess it could be a hit or miss store, but Ill be going in more often hoping for a hit! The girls working that day were awesome! They were super busy because of the sale but still made time to make sure I had what I needed. It was never awkward because they write your name on a chalk board thingy outside your fitting room so when they asking questions you know its you they are talking to cause they say your name first. Tell me its not embarrassing when someone is asking questions on the other side of the fitting room and your one: screaming back answers.. when they werent even talking to you, or two: you don't even answer because you really have no clue if they are talking to you or not. So yeah lol I like the friggin name thing!
I bought 4 tops, 62 bucks for all 4 by the way, I got rid of about 8. Every week I will be buying myself something. Could be clothes, makeup, jewelry, shoes, purse... you get the idea. I never want to think I have nothing to wear or walk out of my house thinking it will do. I wanna be like BAM..mic drop shit. Everyone should be that way. Always feel good about yourself. That way you really won't give an eff what people think because you are too busy feeling fly ;)
I took some pics of my new clothes and my pile of bye bye stuff. Before that I have a quote by one of my fav plus sz models/public figure.
Tess Holliday: "I'm allowed to look sexy, feel sexy, and be in love. I am worthy of all of those things, and so are you"
Check her out. She is stunning and just awesome!!
