Bringing joy and snark filled laughter

Wow shopping sucks.
I was looking for new fall clothes, and due to the large quantities of crap, I wrote a snark/sarcasm (or as i like to call it "snarcasm") filled blog.
http://alternativefats.blogspot.com/2013/09/crap-fat-clothes-for-fall.htmlAnd figured I would share it with you, my wonderful community of fashion forward amazing people, who give

The shoulder studs are killin' me.
The sweatsuit overalls...well, they might be great for a bad-SyFy-movie-marathon. At home. By myself.

Awesome post - thanks for sharing :)

Thanks for reading it!
I don't know what is worse the overalls or the lace shorts..
I'm open for debate.

I can't quite tell if you're being snarky or what, but I think several of the pieces that you've shown would appeal to many fashion forward fat chicks. On the other hand, if you dress more conservatively, I can see these items not being your style.

Honestly from what I've seen, I think this Fall actually has some decent trends available.

it was dripping with snark

Of course fashion styles come and go, but much of what you pointed out is currently on trend & on the right gal, could look pretty nice.

My point is I thought a lot of what you mocked was pretty nice.

Everyone has their own tastes.
If these types of clothing tickle the fancy of some one great!
however, my blog has never been about being accepting/grateful of what is "on trend" for fat people.
I want us to have the same style choices as everyone else. and while there might be some cross over when it comes to "trends" they are far and few inbetween.

I might buy that Rush tee. Your point is well made though, because I am 42 and the only woman I know who knows most of the Lyrics to every Rush song pre-1986!

I feel like the floral top and weird mullet jacket could work somehow but they are both hideously styled. But maybe I'm just picking the smallest turds out of the punchbowl of shit you've assembled here. Some truly heinous clothing no matter what the size.

I wish there was a "like" button for you comment.

thanks for the chuckles...I agree, all of those things you posted are pretty awful.

That stuff reminds me of the 90s...

If only! I want grunge to come back so badly! I look hawt in a babydoll dress, boots and flannel!

Ravenette--I am so on board with that idea! I've suggested trying to get it started again to some other people but they weren't interested. I say you and I get the resurgence started!!

[ravenette84]

I'm there! I got my doc and patterns for babydoll dresses. I need to get soft flannel and my sewing machine set up.
