This is that special time of year when the grass is green, the pools are full of splashing kids, boobs are sweating, and bloggers prepare for the big trek to our Mecca.
BlogHer 2010
If you’re not going to BlogHer this year, you should be. Also, I’m sorry. You can stop reading now, or continue for the laughs. I hope to have laughs, but considering the foul mood I’m in for no reason, you may not get laughs today. bygones Also, I need all the help I can get.
Anyhooters, I’m going to BlogHer in August. Patrick is going to BlogHer. Our girls are going to gramma’s for a week. SWEEEET deals all around.
Mine isn’t the only husband tagging along for the lady-heavy event. I don’t plan to see him much other than some of the parties and when I stumble into bed. And really, he’s OK with that and I’m OK with that. It’s NYC for frick’s sake. He and the other dozen or so husbands will be off having their own circle jerks non-shopping, heavy-on-the-drinking bonding time.
The biggest worry for any lovely lady attending The Blogging Event of the Year is WHAT TO WEAR? Last year I was lucky enough to be sponsored by Lane Bryant for some of my clothing, and this year I’m hoping for the same (this is me standing in front of a company, asking it to love her and sponsor her). If that does or doesn’t happen, I still need to find some clothes.
This girl? She has none. No, really. OK, almost none.
I’m on a mission.
A mission to find adorable shirts (I have good shorts & capris – I KNOW! AMAZING!) and flattering dresses.
Now, dear internets, please to be shopping for me.
* I’m a size XL.
* My belleh needs hiding.
* I can accentuate the boobages.
* My ass is lumpy (see: no form-fitting)
* I ain’t got the monies to be spending tons, so inexpensive is the way to go.
I BEG of you. PLEASE find mama some clothes.

I’m not going. Since I haven’t been taking my blogging seriously. As far as frequency, that is. My blogs themselves are way too serious. I also am intent on going on the Amazing Cruise of 2011. However, the reason for my reply is OMG, we could be twins. If our mother held the second one in her uterus for say, another 20 years. I am an XL. I am also short – 5’2″. The few companies that put out clothes for the “height challenged” (???) assume that a large is someone who weighs 135 lbs. And that we love Spandex. Fuck Spandex.
I have had occasional luck at Kohl’s, the Daisy Fuentes line, when they’re on sale. If you’re at the mall and here somebody muttering “Fuck Spandex”. It’s probably me. Whoever invented that should be boiled in oil. Or something that is painful.
i’mma have to try Kohls. you’re not the only one to suggest it.
and spandex does not belong in anything over size M.
I second the Kohl’s Daisy Fuentes line, on sale.
I also recommend bubble shirts from NY & Co when they are on sale.
I’m going to stalk the comments here because I NEED shorts and dresses right now, I’m dying in this heat.
what are these “bubble shirts” of which you speak? mama needs.
I am not stylish. But SPANX are a game changer. Although August in NYC may not be the time to try them. Or in Orlando. They work well in Seattle.
spanx are uber hot. they work well at night when it’s 5º cooler.
My stores right now for cheap clothes are NY & Company, Target, Kohl’s and Old Navy. Their Women’s line is TO DIE FOR and their clothes are cheap. You can also find coupon codes for all of these stores. I just ordered a bunch of stuff from Macy’s On-Line for work as they were having a sale.
Could you tell I am a clothes-a-holic?

I just went through this exact thing. Thankfully all summer clothes are 70% right now. And I am thinking it will be hot. Hot as in we will be looking hot. Like a heat wave.

living in orlando, i can buy year-round clothes in the big summer sales. it’s the time they have ski coats in stores that makes me stabby.
I’ve found some cute stuff at JCP.com Don’t forget to check out the clearance too for some really sweet deals! Good luck mamacita!!
totally gonna look at those.
If you have a set of outlets by you, you could try there too. I’m lucky to have some new ones about five minutes from my house and I’m hoping to find some cute summer stuff on sale. But I noticed that you can usually find an excess of both bigger and the ridiculously small sizes.
