Veelyn, thanks for the super nice comments!

I stumbled upon Walmart when I was going through a long period of *blechh i look in very bad shape" phase and too depressed to shop anywhere else, not even Target. I was so surprised at how well their GEORGE line fits since I am short, broad backed and pear shaped. Very, very hard to fit! Looking forward to trying out more styles from that line.

I can't wait so see some of your summery tops from there!

Veelyn,

I really like your outfit with the layering. I've passed by the Torrid store in the mall but haven't gone inside yet, I think I'm intimidated, everyone is so confident in there. I don't know why, I'm also intimidated by Wilson's Leatherstore too. rainrowan is just too weird.

I've only "layered" with a cardigan or denim shirt (yucks on me but I keep trying). The t-shirt over t-shirt route doesn't quite work either. I will get up the nerve to try the Torrid store next time.

Rainrowen, great outfit. Loving the LV!!
And those jeans really do look good on and the fit is really good too!

Thank you Samia, you are a great inspiration with your pics. Wish I had as much variety as you do!

Finally, got photobucket to work and resized the pics.
Outfit for today:

White top from Local Istanbul Boutique (they have the cutest things there)
Dark rinse Mango Jeans
Bag LV Speedy
Black Flip Flops

Ok, I thought we should also share tips along with our pics. So mine for today:

1. If something looks good on you, buy it in every color.

2. I doesn't have to be a designer brand as long as it looks good on me and is flattering to my figure

Fun thread samia! i'm going to copy over some of my modeling pics from the RM thread.

Samia - I love that top. I wish I looked good in white, I'd buy it in a second!

Ok ladies- these are pics from my iphone. Not the best quality.

This is me wearing a turquoise polo from Sarah Jessica Parker's line "bitten" with a black skirt and my Night/Gold crackle Rebecca Minkoff MAB

Depending on brand- i range usually in the 14/16's.

My thought for the day:
We plus girls are often self conscious & wear loose fitting shirts.

This link is to a custom corset shop that I intend to visit in a couple of years. I'm saving up & hoping to get to a 13 or lower by then. It's pricey, but I love that the Sweatheart longline style has a curvy sexy plus-sized gal who looks great.

It's okay to try closer styles if they are well-made, whatever the price point. Not all of them will fit a particular body, but it's okay to branch out & experiment.

Desi · May 16th, 2008, 04:43 PM

Same outfit- with my tangerine RM MAB.

Desi · May 16th, 2008, 04:45 PM

hehe and this is my PLUS SIZED puppy modeling my RM bags.
