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:
(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?

i have a 14-16 top (the no boobs version0 and a 16-18-20 bottom. sometimes regular sizes fit, sometimes women’s sizes are better. i’ve had the best luck at Kohl’s and Beall’s.
I used to shop a lot at Lane Bryant, but now I think their stuff is way too expensive….except I will pay whatever they want to charge me for their Cacique underwear.
Sincerely,

Lane Giant…I mean Bryant…but ONLY the clearance rack!

I’m so bad at finding deals! I am, however, really good at IMPULSE buying. Meaning, I see something I like and most times I’ll buy it straight from the rack without trying it on . . . not so good for my budget, though. I try to avoid clothes shopping when I know it’s likely I’ll come back having spent waaay more than I should have!

I wouldn’t exactly call myself a skinny minny but I find I love the clothes at Old Navy either on their sale rack in the stores or on-line. They always have good deals for women and for kids too. And they have LLL section. But I find that a lot of the skinny minny sections have clothes that range all the way up to XXL.

Damn! I haven’t shopped at Sears in ages but it looks like I need to check ‘em out!

I love Avenue, but I hate that they have stopped sending those lovely 20% off your entire purchase coupons.
I used to rawk the $9.99 racks and then use that coupon on top of it. I have recently lost about 70 lbs., and I can now buy clothes in the women’s section at Kohl’s and Belk. I’ve found cute stuff both places, but the stuff I got at Belk shrank in the wash. Not good when the shirts have to stretch tight over my lovely lady lumps…

“Your” really? You know better! Please fix!
I get GREAT deals at Delias. This is a store for girls BUT I fit very nicely into the large or extra sizes and the prices are excellent.
Another bargain going on this month is at The Vitamin Shoppe. It is a “Buy 1 Get the 2nd at 50% off.” I stocked up on the basics – multi-min, multi-vit, vit D, Mag etc. Yee Ha!
Oh final note … April is National Humor Month! I am looking for the brighter, funnier side of life in all I do!
Cheers,
