askye at 11:47am on 14/06/2003I hate shopping for clothes. The only thing I found I really like is this long denim skirt that was on sale at Lane Bryant.
Almost everything else I liked either wasn't in my size or out of my budget.
I got pissy when I was in Dillard's though, I was thinking maybe they were having one of their sales so I asked this one saleslady if the store carried clothes in 16/18 that was trendy and young---like 20s. She kinda looked at me and pointed me to the Tommy stuff they had in the Women's section.
Now, I know Tommy has cool stuff, but this was all ultra preppy. Ick and I said "that's too preppy." And then she pointed to some black and white stuff---that had appliques of cutesy flowers. Or they had some Hawaiian shirts...not the cool Wash Hawaiian shirts but these tacky looking eye rolling, the tourists have hit shirts.
I said no, I was looking for really trendy stuff. She just gave me this look, I told her there was nothing wrong with the clothes they just all looked like something my Mom would wear (which is a lie, except maybe she'd wear the Tommy). I just got a snippy "we don't."
Whatever. Burdines at least tries.
Maybe I'll look around online and see what I can find but I really dont' want to have to pay shipping and handling.

I went shopping with my twin a few months ago, and the store went from Liz Claiborn's rather stuffy, matronly sportswear (which fit me) to Tommy Girl stuff (which did not). NOTHING in between.
Shopping takes twice as long, because I have to go to several stores and pick through racks of crap to even get close to something decent--and then it's usually more expensive.
Oh, and skinny, snotty sales girls piss. me. off.

I know Sears has plus size Jrs. But here they occasionally only have 1 rack, maybe 2. And most of it seems to be jeans. I've managed to find some really great tops.
Target just doesn't have any selection and their clothes fit weird on me. Lane Bryant is expensive and a lot of the time I just don't like the clothes.
We have a Ross, Marshall's, and TJ Maxx here. But Ross was so picked over, and Marshall's and TJ Maxx, if they have anything, generally only have dresses.
I've found that if Old Navy has button downs and shirts that aren't strech or knit an XXL or XL will fit. But I couldn't find anything on their sales rack and I didn't find anything worth me spending $24.
It sucks because I checked Torrid online and they have this great looking dress for $14...but they only have a 4X left.
I guess I'm going to have to start looking at Goodwill and consignment stores.
This should be motivation to lose weight.

I *love* silhouettes and torrid. I shop both places frequently. Well, not really. What I mean is, whenever I *do* shop for clothing, it's always one of those 2 places. Worth the shipping and handling, in my book.
