I am a bigger girl, so clothes shopping is used to not be so fun for me. Then I found a great uplifting book. After reading "Embracing Your Big Fat Ass", by <a href="http://www.embracingyourbigfatass.com/" rel="nofollow">Laura Banks and Janette Barber</a>, I have also been able to feel more empowered and accepting with my own shape. I recommend anyone who needs a little help in the acceptance department to check out this book, I love it and highly recommend it. Keep the great posts coming!

SKIRTS! i would have never imagined that 10 years ago. but skirts hide a multitude of sins and fit better than most of my pants. :) yay! it’s SO true! i never used to even like clothes till i admitted i was fat and started to buy clothes that fit me. now i wear skirts.

I love this post. And I'm very happy for you. I'd give my left arm for a couple pairs of truly comfortable, well-fitting jeans that don't creep up anywhere or fall down too often or too far. I must be shaped incredibly weird compared to whatever standard clothing manufacturers use, because there's some problem with fit with most sizes and styles I have tried... even trying on men's jeans didn't help. I think women's jeans are just made really crappy, or something. The minute something feels nice in the waist, it either is too tight or too loose in the butt, and the place where your crotch is meant to go hits you right about at the knee. :P That’s so wonderful! I love this post. And I’m very happy for you.

And if you think you are? Well, what everyone else thinks pretty much stops mattering." That pretty much beautifully sums up everything! I love it :D It takes so long to get to that point mentally and I'm glad you had a great shopping experience to get there. I'm still working on it but have more good days than bad at this point. I need to have a similar spree I think soon so I can stop "debating" between my two pairs of jeans and actually get some options! “You’re pretty if you think you are. And if you think you are?

I had long hair and went 'what the hell, this is getting boring,' got it cut, and I love it now. I also started putting on a little bit of shimmery eye shadow (pretty colors!) after a make up hiatus.
