Y'all aren't even fat! Any point in offering size 24/26 outfits?
I've been lurking and enjoying everyone's posts, but what mystifies me is . . . y'all ain't even fat! Size 14/16/18 is just a normal person who doesn't throw up all the time! (GRIN) I know the world thinks everyone who's bigger than some crazy supermodel is huge, but you know what? The world is off its gourd. I'm not saying everyone skinny is abnormal, either, but people gotta realize that women come in different shapes and sizes. (I also think Star Jones's face was prettier when she was larger, so there.) Tall and statuesque women shouldn't have to be bony, and plus sizes shouldn't hide.
I have diabetes, and finally in order to try to control this crazy disease without even more medication, the dietician and I figured out a starvation diet *GNASH*. Okay, it's not starvation, but sheesh. And I lose VERY slowly. But the sugars are starting to come under better control.
So now I'm wearing a Lane Bryant 16/18 on top and a size 22 on the bottom, which is amazing to me, because I've dragged around at larger sizes for years, and I'm barely over five feet tall. (You are not supposed to be that short. "Petite" inseams are still two inches too long on me.) Now I can actually exercise and have some stamina! Need to scare up some funds to buy new stuff, too.
I was considering selling some of my never-wore-it stuff on eBay, but I'd like to post it here instead--if there's any point. Is there anyone who's tall (I mean whose legs are not supershort--as most of these pants/skirts drag the floor on me) and who could wear sizes 24 and 26? I have several outfits with the tags on them that I bought when the outfits were too tight . . .pulled them out last week and now they are way too big. I missed the "window" completely. Several of the items make up an orange/orangish red group that would work together because that is my favorite color, yet it makes me look like a pumpkin (I am a "summer.") I need a personal shopper, it appears. In my mind I would be the orange dreamsicle, but my complexion doesn't play along.
If you're an "autumn" or "spring," these things are probably your colors. I like that palette too much. I love all the "summer" pastels as well, mind, but orange is my favorite color. It's the aging hippie in me.
