Another fat girl's weight loss journey...

Fashion for Fatties

I have looked at the Threadless website many times & eyed up some cool Tees I wanted to order and I recently made my first purchase of 2 T-shirts in the female size 2XL.  Depending on the store/brand I usually fit into an XL or 2XL and thought for sure the latter would give me plenty of room.  I got home one day to find my package on the porch-YAY my cool new T-shirts!! Went in the house, tried the first one on-SKINTIGHT. Went to the second one hoping that one was just a fluke-SKINTIGHT.  Sigh :(  
I guess Threadless doesn't want fatgirls to wear their clothes either...add them to the list of many.

To be very honest, one of the motivations for me to lose weight is to shop in "regular size" stores again.  There has been a lot improvement in plus-sized fashion recently, however there still is just not a lot to choose from, especially locally.  Sure, there is more online, but seriously unless it's a store you shop at frequently (and even then it's risky), you just have to try things on.  Who wants to spend time ordering, shipping back, ordering again?  I know I don't...nor do I have the extra $ to spend on shipping costs.  It's just a freaking hassle.

I didn't send those Threadless shirts back, I kept them.  And I will fit in them someday.
