Size Up

One of the most frustrating things about being fat is going onto a boutique website, looking at all these ready made, off the rail, exactly what I've always wanted clothes, looking, salivating, coveting and then, finally, resigning yourself to painfully click the 'accessories' section. These sites are for the thin, and these sites only do straight sizes, but I bookmark them anyway for inspiration or for occasional trawling through for oversized stuff or just for plain bitterness when I feel like flicking through and cursing that fat girls can be chic too you fucks. 

It's for the same reason I no longer go clothes shopping with my straight sized friends. It will only be a matter of time before I'm tearing things off the rails in Top Shop bellowing that it should be MINE! It should be FOR ME! Until eventually they call in animal control to take me down with elephant tranquilizers. It makes me despair that anyone below a size 22 has unbelievable clothes practically leaping off the rails and onto their ungrateful frames and occasionally my bitterness pays off. It's because I like to grope my way through these sites along with every fat site I can get my perfectly mint polished claws into that I see similarities appear. 

Here we have an offering from Bitching and Junkfood, which in case you can't tell by the name is hip beyond your wildest dreams.

They're doing the whole, mid 90's, 'The Craft', demi goth with colour thing that's everywhere and so tantalizingly out of reach for fatties. But wait.

Behold this next offering from Simply Be*.

I mean they've styled it bizarrely but dammit all if that isn't the same jacket. Yes, it's a little off shade and it's longer, but it's basically the same one. Personally the longer length would suit me, I want to size it up by about two sizes and wear it like a gigantic blue furry hug. 

You're welcome. More to come.

Also the lack of posting is because I'm sick all the time. Bare with.
