Wet Seal, Sweet Deal!

Gosh Carlz, you're so clever! I really need to stop with my stupid blog titles. But I really like Wet Seal's Plus Size line. They're like Forever 21, but with better quality. They even go up to a 4X, which is like a 26-28! So yay, win for us! I wish it wasn't just an online store, I love going to Wet Seal and looking at the clothes. They're so cute!


I don't know anyone whose shopped at Wet Seal, but I would love to buy some clothes from there soon! It's so cute. I love everything, really. Yay.

Check out some stuff I like :)
Sorry that the pictures are so small, I had trouble downloading them to begin with.

Loop 18's Out of the Loop

Lawlz, get it? Like, "out of the loop?" I think we can all agree that Loop 18 has it's work cut out for them. I've been to the Lane Bryant outlet and have personally shopped at Loop 18. Despite Lane Bryant's expensive prices, Loop 18 was really cheap. They were, luckily, having a humongous sale and I bought 2 shirts and a jacket. Most of their prints are pretty ugly, not going to lie. But I have received compliments on my clothes I bought from them.


To say the least, they aren't there just yet. We just gotta believe, I'm confident that Loop 18 will become a pretty good plus sized store. It's hard to start up a new brand, so let's give them some more time.

My one complaint though is that the shirt I have is kind of crappy. I didn't really wear it that much and it started deteriorating. No holes or anything (thank god), but it got like old looking really quickly. And the military jacket I have, it's buttons fell off. There were these cute buttons on the elbows and they fell off easily. I was laying on the couch at my friend's house once and the second time, I walked off the bus and walked into the door (lol). Still though. AND they didn't even include extra buttons just incase. I was really mad, not going to lie. It's really cute. But I look pretty ghetto with a safety pin holding the elbow cuff things together haha.

Here are some clothes that I kinda/sorta like. Lol.

From Left to Right

1. Strapless Cotton Dress, $48.96 (on sale)
2. Cropped Dress Pants, $25.99 (on sale)
3. Glitter Tee, $26.99
4. Lace Back Emma Top, $29.99 (on sale)


Yeah. So like 2 out of 5 stars for me. Get Better, Loop 18. I'll help you! Lol.

Maxi Dress Madness

I'm not into Maxi Dresses really, but as I walk down the street in this 100 degree weather, it's all I see. They seem to be pretty lightweight, so it helps with all this humidity. And paired with a nice hat or some cute wedges, it'd make a great outfit!

I'm not a Maxi Dress kind of gal because I hate long dresses, prom was a nightmare. Once I took off my heels, I was tripping all over the place. And I kind of don't like all of the prints, I feel like it's too much of a goodthing..if ya know what I mean.

After much searching, I found 5 maxi dresses I liked! The one on the left is from American Eagle. American Eagle isn't really 'plus sized,' but they go up to XXL, which is like an 18/20. And they only sell the XXL online, so yeah. The model is wearing it as a skirt and it looks absolutely adorable! It also received 5 out of 5 stars from buyers! It's 50 bucks and if you click HEREEE you can find it.

From Right to Left

1. Forever 21 +'s Faux Scarf Maxi Dress, $29.80
2. Torrid's Purple Crochet Back Maxi Dress, $54.50
3. Torrid's Border Mesh Floral Maxi Dress, $68.00
4. Old Navy's Floral Chiffon Maxi Dress, $49.94

My Torrid Affair With Torrid

So we all know I shop at Torrid. It's, what I believe tobe, the most accessible for me. Does that make sense? Despite the fact that I always get annoyed with Torrid now and then regarding prices/quality, I love them.


Storytime:
If I didn't find a Torrid, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Iused to wear t-shirts and like gym shorts to school everyday and NEVER wore anything fashionable because I couldn't fit into anything. I used to go to Kohl's or something with my mom and couldn't fit into the clothing and I would just cry in the dressing rooms. I'm not even kidding, I hated going shopping and my mom did too. And when she would take me into the Women's sections, I would cry even more because the clothes are nothing like what the people in school wear. You know what I mean though? I just wanted to dress like everyone else dressed at school and couldn't because I didn't know of any store.
One day, I was in a different mall and we passed a Torrid. My mom said we should check it out and it was amazing. Clothing actually fit me and I was so excited to actually wear something nice and I felt confident, for once. I didn't need to hide behind a sweatshirt or anything. And from then on, Torrid has been the store that I've gone to for anything and everything.

Here are some cute clothes!

3. Pewter Ruffle Gladiator Sandals, $19.99 (on sale)

The amazing thing about torrid is that they have EVERYTHING. From clothes to shoes to accessories, you can purchase everything you need for an outfit. And even though they're expensive, they have sales a lot.

I love you, Torrid.

New Idea for My Page

I'm going to start reviewing websites for my page. Like my days on my laptop consist of me sitting here, staring at thousands of models wearing a store's clothes; so I might as well just blog about it. Right? And if I've shopped there, I'll post a picture of myself in an outfit.


However, unfortunately, my mom doesn't love me enough to take me out shopping as much as I like; so I won't have many outfit posts regarding the store. But I'll post my own outfits and stuff. And I'll post my favorite clothes from the store :)

Yay. Ideas. :)
Any stores you guys want me to check out? I'm going to try and re-do my own side bar of all the plus sized stores, so let me know of any new and upcoming stores!
