Accessories Shopping at Forever 21: NOT by Choice

The good thing about Forever 21 is that they offer plus sizes. Yay! The bad thing? They don’t offer them in-store in Vancouver. Boo! Another good thing is that when I order clothes online and they don’t work out, I can return them to the brick-and-mortar store to avoid extra shipping costs. Yay! Another bad thing is that they don’t do cash refunds, so when I return something, all I get is store credit. Double boo!! So, if you’re following the story here, what I’m left with is money to spend at Forever 21 in Vancouver, but nothing to spend it on. Except accessories. This is disappointing and frustrating. And this is what it looks like:

Hmm, how many pairs of red heels do I need??

Conclusion: Get with the program Forever 21 in Vancouver! This girl’s got money to spend and a cute, fat body to dress!

Bodacious

If you live in the BC Lower Mainland and you haven’t visited Bodacious, you have to check it out. It’s easily my favorite plus-size store in Vancouver. It can be a bit pricey, but the clothes are gorgeous and the service is excellent. Even the little details like the tissue paper make me happy.

What does she wear under there?

Ok so yes, I am going to show my underwear. But not much. This little undergarment I’m wearing from www.thighsociety.ca literally changed my life. I used to yearn to wear skirts and dresses in the summer, but could never figure out what to wear underneath. As my fellow fatties (and probably not-so-fatties) know, our soft inner thigh skin becomes super angry and sore when rubbed together for any length of time – an unfortunate situation known as “chub rub.” Fortunately, these “panty shorts” from thighsociety are a life saver. Actually, a thigh saver. And boy do I love my thighs.
