I had a sort of shopping spree at Salvation Army today and spent 30 bucks on new clothes. I bought five shirts in L and 2 skirts (one is elastic and the other's a size 12). Most other things in my closet are XL or 14 and starting to get big on me, which is why I went to get some new clothes at Salvation Army! I also got two miniskirts that don't fit me but I couldn't resist them (the two together were 9 bucks). I can resist shirts but NOT cute skirts, I'm simply unable. If they never end up fitting me I know a friend who could wear them I'll give them to though! On's a M and one's an L.
One of the two skirts I got that DOES fit me (elastic waistband, like many skirts) actually is extremely unflattering on my fat body, because it shapes my body exactly as it looks naked and makes my tummy as obvious as possible, and then as soon as my stomach ends looks REALLY small. It looks BAD, but the skirt itself is wonderful. It's the sort of skirt that would look fanTASTIC on me if I could lose the belly. It was only two bucks though, so I don't mind. All 5 tops look great on me (which is the important thing; it's tops I really needed!), one of the skirts looks great on me, two don't fit yet, and one fits but doesn't flatter. But ugh, I just can't resist skirts.
I didn't take pictures of everything but here are a few:
One of my new tops:
Another new top (it's hearts with crossbones through them!
):
The very unflattering skirt from the front (you can't tell how awful it is from the front):
Now here's the bear-all picture.. this is THE worst picture fat-wise I've ever taken in my life. It's honestly how I'd look naked. I have a big belly and small everything else. Once the belly ends I'm quite small. But.. this skirt will NOT be ever worn in public until it doesn't look this hideous on me.. I seriously look just as bad as I do naked!:
And lastly, the two cute skirts I got that don't fit me:
I had fun.
