I have been procrastinating creating a blog for the longest time so while I am still on off season and the school year is still in the first couple of months, I'm going to put my minimal free time to good use. Recently I applied for a competitive medical internship at a hospital that I insanely wanted. So after I sent in my application and got a spot for the interview, it was time to do the most important part of prepping that there is: picking out an outfit. Now any full figured girl like myself can often get those mini heart palpitations when it comes to shopping and picking an outfit. I fluctuate anywhere from a size 12 to 16 and had always sworn to myself that I would NEVER set foot in a "plus-size" store. But....after getting tired of disappointment and tears that follow going to all the stores my friends go to, I caved. Now don't get me wrong I LOVE clothes and shopping but I didn't want to be one of those girls, especially since I'm only a teenager, that had to shop at a full figured store especially since from my experiences plus sized sections in regular stores look old lady like and matronly so I thought that a full store dedicated to it would be the same. But, I'm so glad that I sucked it up because I came away so happy! The clothes were stylish and flattering. There were no tears and no disappointed attitudes. I loved the way I looked in my outfit because it highlighted my best features (my butt and my waist). I was also one of the best dressed there (don't make the same mistake as one girl and wear booty shorts to an interview...*shutter*). So if you are like how I was and are dreading the transition to a plus-size store, just go in and see how you like it! Most likely you will walk away with a super hot outfit that will make you feel good about yourself.
The skirt, shoes, and belt I got from Lane Bryant, the necklace and earrings from Forever 21, and I borrowed the white button down from my mama.
So if you made it to the end of my super lengthy first blog post, I commend you. Feel free to drop a comment about your first experience going into a full figured store, or if you are putting it off like I was!(:
(Still waiting to see if I got the internship *fingers crossed*)
I know this is an older post but I wanted to comment anyway (so maybe you will keep up the blog because this is a great post and I love that you love God so much, as do I). I loved my first, and the hundred or so more, trips I have made into Lane Bryant! Their jeans tend to fit so great as do most their clothes with the occasional exception and last much longer. Hope you blog of more of your experiences!
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie! Thank you for your comment! I have been so busy these last few months and haven't had a chance to post but things are slowing down so I will be trying to catch up this week. Thank you for visiting!(:
ReplyDeleteHey sexy mama!!! Yes it is really hard to find cute plus sized clothes in stores, so that's why I shop online; there's a lot more options, and plus a lot of stores will go up to at least XXL. I just got some tops from American Eagle that are all super cute and plus size.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome. Have you tried torrid? Their clothes are gorgeous, but pricey. But it's always nice to treat yourself to something fancy every once in a while.
