OOTD (that was rejected from fatshionista)

Dec 01, 2009 22:29

hey everyone. i feel kind of shitty about myself at the moment. you see, i am now officially not fat enough for fatshionista. even though i'm too fat for like....everything else. haha.

i am:
5'11"
~250 lbs (probably closer to 260 atm)
if i wore pants, they would be an 18 (i assume, because the 16 pants i have aren't fitting atm) but i still wear 16s in some dresses. i generally wear between size XL and XXL or a 1 or 2 depending on the style in torrid clothes. (i do wear size L in old navy leggings, but that's because i prefer to size down since my legs are proportionally smaller and i have a pretty flat ass.)
my measurements are around 49-40-49

i honestly have no idea on what planet this makes me not fat.

i posted this outfit i wore today to fatshionista and it was rejected. i was told that i am not fat enough. the reasons sited were those darn size L leggings (and my XL dress...which is jersey knit and from old navy...king of vanity sizes). no mention was made of my 2XL cardigan. my height was also given as a reason. because apparently being taller and having your weight be distributed differently somehow makes you less fat? i beg to differ, but whatever.

you know, i get called fat on the street fairly regularly. i live in new york, it comes with the territory. sometimes it's a dude catcalling me and telling me he "likes 'em big". i even got the embarrassing "more cushin' for the pushin'" line recently. no, really.

when somebody bumps me or vice versa on the street, i am always reminded what a fat bitch i am. but like, tell me something i don't know.

to be honest, getting rejected from a supposedly posi and body-accepting community is bothering me more than any stupid remark i have gotten on the street or whatever. i genuinely feel like shit for having my body judged like it was. it's been a long time since something somebody else did/said has made me feel shitty about myself. (yeah, i have days where i feel like crap about myself, but it always comes from myself. i normally could care less what anybody thinks of me.

anyway, i'm rambling. so i'll just post my OOTD here in the hopes that it is accepted somewhere. haha.







headband- f21
necklace- h&m
cardigan- f21/faith21 (2X)
dress- ON (XL)
tank top under the dress- ON (i think it's an XL, but it's a tagless one and the printing has worn off)
belt- from a 2X faith21 dress. i ended up taking it off though.
leggings- ON (L-as i said i size down because my depressing lack of butt)
booties- payless (11)

so. yeah. hi, inbetweenies.

ETA-
