I am actually quite girly you know
Since all the politics blogs I follow are depressing as hell today I thought it was high time I delved into a blog I'd saved but hadn't yet got around to read "Fat Girls like Fashion too". I'm not a fashion maven by any means. I know what I like (empire lines, I rock the pregnant look) and I know what I hate (leggings worn as trousers). Some things are too far out there for me and I wanted something that a) actually had things I could afford and b) wasn't American fashions because import tax is too high.
Yay for finding a blog about plus-size fashion in the UK high street then! I'm on the smaller size of plus - (14/16) - but it is hard even then to find things that work and haven't just been designed with thin girls in mind and then shaped up. It's also taken me far too long to begin dressing for my actual size rather than hanging onto an outdated vision of myself as a 10/12 - a size I only achieved after prolonged illness and which was hugely unhealthy. After having a massive clear out of my wardrobe which left me with very few pieces I'm now on the lookout for more fashionable, reasonably priced clothes.
I have also got my exercise bike out and done some work on it so I'm feeling really impressed with myself today so far. Later tonight there may even be a post about make-up with pictures as I'm feeling really girly.
