This? Is not OK: Matchy-Matchy

Monday, September 14th, 2009

We are frequent Disney World users visitors. I worked there in the late 90’s (or as I like to call it, the skinny days). We’ve been going on and off a lot over the last 13 years that we’ve lived in Orlando.

No matter what your thoughts are regarding the happy happy fake times at Disney, we loves it.

The stalkers observers that we are, we spot the outfits of those around us at the Mouse House. Big families, small families, matching families.

Those families that all dress alike to be able to find one another in a crowd.

THOSE families.

I kind of get the point in doing the matchy-matchy at the Land o’ Happy, but it can go too far.

Here, my dear friends, is the matchy-matchy couple who needs a serious intervention. I’m guessing the mom is the one in the dress.

Oh yes, that’s a surfin’ Mickey pattern.

I can get you one in your size if you need. Just let me know.

Us big girls can find good deals, even with all that extra fabric

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

If you’re a regular reader of mine (and who isn’t?), you know I have lovely lady lumps.

Not the Fergie kind, the real kind.

Voluptuous. Curvy. Plus-size. Lumpy.

Whatever words you use for it, I gotta get my clothes from the Big Girl Stores. If I’m not in the Big Girl Stores, I make my fat-ass way over to the “Women’s” section of the stores. Most places have them, but most don’t stock them well unless you favor knit leggins, thin cap-sleeve shirts, and denim vests.

Ladies with lovely lady lumps (LLLs) such as myself will admit to having a hard time finding clothes to fit our frame. And when I say “our frame” I mean 23.8 million different frames. Us fatties have all of our LLLs in different places.

For me, my “problem areas” cover about 90% of me. I do rock some great hair and my fingernails are TO DIE FOR.

To cover my most problematic of areas, I prefer a swing shirt or an empire-waisted top and straight-leg or wide-leg pants.

Examples I found at Sears:

Apostrophe Women’s Plus Square Neck Tunic
Holy crabs, it’s only $7.79.
FOR SERIOUS

(Note to Sears: I know of NO Plus-Size ladies who tuck in their shirts. NONE. Just for future reference.)

Sharagano Studio Women’s Plus Stripe Novelty Pant
*cough*cough* pssst… They’re only $8.99.
Hooray for Pay Day!

To be honest, I haven’t shopped for my LLL clothes at Sears lately because, let’s be real… The IRS needs their money and Mama is short on it.

But for under $20 for an entire outfit, this lovely lady will be shopping on Pay Day! Sears is has discounted 75-80% OFF original prices on fall and winter apparel. FOR SERIOUS.

If you have LLLs yourself, where do you find your best deals on clothes?
If you’re a skinny-minny (meaning under size 14), what’s your favorite clothing store with the best discounts?
