being larger most of my life has forced me to shop in the larger-girl stores. and let's face it, some of the clothes are straight-up ridiculous. you think you find a normal pair of jeans only to discover a winnie the pooh patch dancing across your butt. or a shirt looks adorable, but when you raise your arms, you find the tazmanian devil in your armpits. not to mention these clothes are bucko bucks. old navy plus size rocks, but they only have the online store and that is guessing game that rarely ends in my favor.

so you can appreciate i was stoked when i was able to shop at a store like macys. and i got the freaking cutest shirt, dude. so today, in the bathroom at work, the skinniest person in all of chicago stops me to tell her that she has the same exact shirt and my mind straight-up FREAKED.

wait. we have the same shirt? are you sure? because..wait. WE have the same shirt?

if this shirt didn't have such a specific design, i would have accused her of bullying. but then i remebered it was from macys. and it was ralph lauren or something hot like that. and that i could wear it because i lost more than 100 pounds and i did that because i am a boss.

i may have left out the part that i wore it to work backwards. that i commuted with throngs of chicago city-folk with my super sweet shirt backwards AS HELL. she didn't need to know that.

happy friday!

    Congrats. I had the same issue. Being fat did NOT make me a whimsical fan of cute cartoon characters!

    This is completely fantastic and hilarious all at the same time. Congrats on the very impressive weight loss, and from some one who has fashion mishaps like that WAY more often than I'd like to admit, I love your humor about it. :) If you need more friends on here, sign me up. You rock!

    Haha, this is brilliant, well done for being such a boss! Totally sympathise on the crap plus-size clothing issue, one of my biggest weight-loss motivators is to be able to buy clothes that I really like for a change.

    Oh well maybe I should just give up on the jeans for today and wear yoga pants?

    I hated being offered jeans with rhinestones on the *kitten* in plus-size shops. True, my *kitten* is hot and deserves attention at any size, but still, ugh, why would I want to dress like a 12 year old girl? Especially when it looks as though I have eaten a 12 year old girll...

    I don't know if I'd mind finding a Tasmanian devil about my person...

    Apparently they can be quite the fashionistas themselves...
