I have been taking turns with my brother’s friend watching my brother’s three cats this week while he went back to Michigan to visit.
Since my brother lives a two minute drive from the mall and I also had a bit of extra money, I decided to get a few new clothes. I normally get them from Wal-Mart, Ross (a store with a similar concept as TJMaxx/Marshall’s (TKMaxx in UK) but I find them much cheaper and carry more plus-size clothing for women without the name brand label) or local thrift shops I managed to find affordable priced clothes at the mall!
Since last August, my local Deb shop has been carrying plus-size clothing. It’s about time, too. I already own a few clothes from this store. These are a pair of skinny-legged jeans and black capris from their Reign line. They are size 18. The original tag was somewhere around $30-$35 but were marked down to $20 AND then were on a rack for an extra 50% off the clearance price. $10 a pair I paid for them. That’s my kind of price. $20-$25 on a pair of jeans is my highest and that’s not often I spend money on a pair like that. I normally don’t get many shorts from Hot Topic cos I never find any I like. Most of their guys shirts are of bands I don’t know of or cannot stand. Their girls tops only normally go to XL (I am XXL/2X). It was a shock to find the black and real skull tank top in 2X there. Also, I love the Assassin’s Creed series so when I found the gray tank top in guys Large, I snagged it. Their shirts were buy one (both were $20.50) get the second for $10 so I was happy. Now if more stores started to carry more cool plus-sized clothing, I wouldn’t be so sad about my body.
