hi!
i can't even remember the last time i wrote something here. i started taking classes at community college, and between working, commuting, yoga, belly dance, homework and research for a potential business venture i have had, quite literally,
no time.
i
have done lots of shopping of course! (always time for that) i recently discovered that i look good in beige, and have purchased a couple of dresses and tops. i had to learn how to wash clothes that were a color other than black, gray or red, which was kinda funny. i am trying very hard not to be afraid of color and so far shades of beige, tan and taupe are the farthest i've gotten. i am still having an illicit affair with gray. i own something purple now, but it needs tailoring and i have yet to wear it.
this past weekend i went to a clothing swap for sizes 12+, which was pretty awesome. i got three dresses, a lovely embroidered skirt, yoga pants and a crochet sweater for only $47. then my awesome friend that wears about the same size i do, had me over to go through her bin of clothing swap clothes and i scored even more awesome scwag! skirts and tops galore! so for almost nothing i have an entirely new wardrobe and i feel fresh and wonderful.
but now i'm on a shopping kick! *sigh* i recently purchased these three items from Torrid (i'm going to Scottish Highland Games this weekend and, ya know, single girl + men in kilts = potential for gooood times)
cute, no?
but, what i really wanted to talk about was a site i found today. tired of looking at the same 'ol same 'ol from the same 'ol stores and the same 'ol fit problems and the same 'ol overpriced poor quality and wanting things that are chic and modern and fit well, i basically just googled "where to buy chic clothing" and started scrolling through the results.
what did i find?
City Chic Online, plus size women's clothing and ladies fashion sizes 14+. and ya know what ladies? their sizes are adjusted accordingly. XS is a 14. S is a 16. and so on.
They have free shipping and free shipping for returns. If you sign up for an account you get a coupon code for 30% off of your first purchase.
i bought a pair of jeans, a top and a jacket. i figured i would order a variety of things so that i could test out the fit, and
hopefully order more. here's what i got -
i rarely wear denim, because i have such trouble with fit. the rise on these looks good and they appear to be curvy enough. i'm hoping they are generous in the thighs. *crosses fingers*
anyway, i will update once i receive my items and let you know how they fit, the quality and the customer service, including shipping speed.
please leave a comment if you have had any experience with this shop. i can't believe i didn't know it existed! i have high hopes.
xoxo my beauties
