I was talking about this to a thin, beautiful friend of mine and she just didn't get why I would be insulted that someone told me I had a pretty face. So I asked her, "Does anyone ever tell you you have a pretty face? Or do they just tell you you are pretty." Then she got it. Well, she got it as much as the genetic lovechild of Barbie and Paris Hilton can.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328410608705487074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5050527020338611721.post-37915791695665319832008-08-04T17:01:00.000-04:002008-08-04T17:01:00.000-04:00Nice clothes are harder to find when you're plus s...Nice clothes are harder to find when you're plus sized, but they are possible. You just have to be patient and try on a lot of things.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I like bright colors. Any day of the week, I'm apt to look like an easter egg with one color top and a different colored bottom... Torrid has some great clothes for larger ladies, especially if what you're looking for is cute "club wear" type clothing... I agree that horizontal stripes are Right Out!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13102363251376084521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5050527020338611721.post-39741008528927207672008-08-04T15:51:00.000-04:002008-08-04T15:51:00.000-04:00these points made me laugh!

My husband and I sometimes watch the show, "What Not to Wear". Usually, after the show is over, I start to bitch and moan, "Oh, yeah, it's easy for them to find clothes because they're shopping in NY. Nothing fits me. I look like a slob. My body type is weird." Blah, blah,and a big blah...excuse city! My husband was sick of my complaining, as he is a positive person by nature, and said, "I BET you $10.00 that I can take you to our local mall and find an outfit that makes you look great!" I laughed, yup, I really did! "You're on buddy," I thought to myself. "I'll take that 10 bucks!"<BR/><BR/>Well, to make a long story short. I tried on a lot of clothes, and we were in and out of a lot of stores but he found a dress for me that looked fantastic. I couldn't believe it when I looked into the mirror. Of course he found the perfect shoes to go with it too!<BR/><BR/>He won the ten dollars but he taught me a very valuable lesson.<BR/><BR/>You're right in your assessment about most clothing for overweight women...but nice clothing is out there...we just have to dig a little deeper!<BR/><BR/>P.S. And yes, horizontal stripes are ridiculous! :o)<BR/><BR/>Have a great day!<BR/>CandeeLosing Weight:https://www.blogger.com/profile/13963333957909034946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5050527020338611721.post-59799339613324637132008-08-04T05:13:00.000-04:002008-08-04T05:13:00.000-04:00In the UK there is just one clothing store for lar...In the UK there is just one clothing store for larger ladies (Evans). Ok, there are a few others but Evans has a complete monopoly on the situation.<BR/><BR/>They don't size things too small, they have a habit of being too generous -- which is great until you go to try a size 26 somewhere else and realise that Evans' version of size 26 is actually wayyyy too generous!<BR/><BR/>However, they do quite often go for the loud animal prints and bright colours that we don't always want to be wearing, as a larger person !!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5050527020338611721.post-82899176171942320352008-08-04T00:33:00.000-04:002008-08-04T00:33:00.000-04:00I was just told this week I had a pretty face!!!

And sorry about your mother-in-law--mine is really rather--detached. MY mom is the one who interferes. Don't even get me started about that! I love her dearly, but boy is she a buttinsky!
