randomness | A few thoughts after accompanying a friend on a clothes shopping run.

Doing a search for "plus size clothing" "store locator" can get you a quick list of chain stores to try, although some of them may be a little far away.

Just because Ashley Stewart bills itself "for the plus-size urban woman" doesn't mean you shouldn't be willing to go to Roxbury or Mattapan to check it out.

Torrid has its own sizes for tops, but not for many other items.

Going to Lane Bryant last can often help your budget.

It's not that your body is the wrong shape, it's that the clothes are cut wrong for it.

Weekdays out of shopping season are an excellent time to go clothes shopping.

There's probably more but it's all that occurs to me just now. As always, this was fun.

Edit: This is probably also a good place to add a link to Lee Lee's Valise, though it was also a bit far for this particular expedition.
