G'day fellow fats!
(OK, that was a corny greeting, but it felt right somehow).
So I've been watching/commenting on this comm for the past few days, and I have to say I think all of you have AMAZING fashion sense. Some of the combos you guys have put together... *is floored*
So, I thought I'd try and impart some of my own wisdom as a fellow plus-sized fashion tragic.
I got a bit annoyed with having nothing particularly inspirational in my wardrobe. I tend to avoid clothes shopping because I find it kind of a depressing task with my current financial situation and of course my size. but i thought "to hell with it" and headed to my local shopping centre. After getting thoroughly annoyed at the fact that those weird skirts that go in are the fashion right now (i don't get it. how do you walk in those things?), I went into Bhs and discovered, after some searching, the most awesome skirt i'd ever seen since the full-length green number from Katies some 5 years ago. The largest size was at least 2 sizes too small, but i bought it anyway thinking to myself "hell, i'll MAKE it fit".
I'm wearing it a bit higher than it's supposed to be worn. I think it's supposed to go just past the knee or something, but i kind of like it knee-length. Try to ignore the boring black top i've got on. it's the only thing i had at home that goes with it. I'm thinking I might look for a grey loosish singlet-type top. I think that, with a black wrap-around thing and maybe some nice black/grey beads, would work best with it. But anyway, tell me what y'all think.
( Skirtish yay. )
