Post # 13
I know it’s been a while and I apologize. Much has occurred since the last time I wrote and I promise I will update just as soon as my exam for school is over….however I would like to comment on something…
Why is it that every time I go to a clothing store, I go to the change room with about 20 – 30 items and come out with nothing? I absolutely hate that. I went tonight to three different clothing stores and at each one I came out with nothing. It is really annoying actually.
Furthermore, because I have to go to the “PLUS” section the choice of style(s) looks like something that women with no fashion sense would wear. I mean pastel colours of ALL shades and ugly designs with flowers on everything really does not scream out “stylish” or “young and hip.” I see more and more young women going into these stores and yet the clothes are for aged women….things need to change.
The main purpose for my evening venture tonight was to find a skirt for my birthday outing tomorrow night. Not to my entire surprise, but I could not find a skirt that was above my knee. All the ones I tried on were either just below the knee or they hit the floor. Why should this be difficult? When I asked, the sales ladies could not show me a skirt length I was looking for. This is pathetic and of course if I went to a ‘regular’ or ‘petite’ store there would be tons of skirts the length that I want. But do you think I would fit into them? Hell No!
I don’t understand the thought process of the designers for ‘Plus’ women’s clothing….majority of the clothes are ‘older’ looking and with younger generations turning towards ‘Plus’ size clothing you would think that the designers would want to market to this population and thus make the clothing more appealing. However, in their defense I must say it has got a lot better. I only pray that they continue. Please stay away from pastel!!
Looking at the very curvy, very voluptuous, no bulge mannequins, I always leave stores feeling very jealous and very frustrated that a plastic doll can look better in the clothing than me. Go Figure!
So here’s to the ‘Plus’ size women of the world!!!
Until next time,
‘It Is What It Is’
