Curves Around the World: Straight Sizes Only

Hey Everyone!

Sorry I've been gone for awhile, I haven't been feeling well and decided to take a break from social media all together and just rest. I'm feeling better now but I'm still feel a bit sick right now but I'm pushing myself to do this because I feel bad for neglecting the blog and following behind in Curves Around the world themes. So today's theme is straight sizes only and what we are suppose to do is take an outfit that is in straight sizes and remake. I do feel as plus size person we do this everyday and I honestly couldn't find an outfit to inspire me do so I decided to interpret it differently, I decided to do an outfit wearing straight sizes only!

So I've seen a few plus size bloggers who have blogged about shopping straight sizes and this is something that I didn't before because I had a phobia from when I was younger. I remember before forever 21 had a plus sizes going in the dressing room with a bunch of clothes and none of them fitting and it made me feel so horrible. But now I think I know what to look for when trying looking at clothing that are straight sizes only.

So when shopping straight sizes one of the things I look for is does it stretch. The bandeau skirt that I'm wearing is a large but it has a stretch to it which allows it to fit someone that is not necessarily a large. The same thing goes for the tank, its a large but because it has a good stretch it fits me.

Another thing I look for is the size of the garment, the kimono that I'm wearing is a large but it looked big enough to fit me. One of the reasons I think it worked is that it's an open in the front and it's easier to fit different body sizes. Another thing that this could work for is a vest, for example an oversized open vest should be able to fit different body types. So for these items things might be intended to fit loosely or another way but it might fit you differently then intended but its OK. So as long as you feel comfortable in the piece of clothing and you like how it feels, then go for it and wear it.

My last tip for anyone shopping straight sizes is try it on, you never know how something is going to fit unless you try it on. I know, you might be like how I was and had a phobia of trying on things but remember that it's OK if it doesn't fit you. Think of it as maybe it wasn't meant to be, that's how I like to to think of it. Plus you never know what things might actually fit you, so try it on, you never know until you try it! 

So do any of you shop straight sizes? And if you do what are some of your tips? I would love to know. Thanks for reading everyone, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! :)
