The Hunt

Okay this is half rant, half shopping with my mom for me so if you aren’t interested in a rant this might not be the post for you.

I recently started Weight Watchers with a few of my coworkers and I’m proud to announce I’m down three pounds. I still have miles to go before I hit my goal. I’m currently an XL top. I can find clothes in both normal and plus size stores which is usually great; however, right now I’m really struggling. I wanted a camel blazer for my swearing in ceremony and I bought the most amazing blazer from Banana Republic. I paid extra and everything to get it here in time. When I got home and saw the package I was over the moon excited. I took it out of the bag and tried it on.

Unfortunately it was perfect but not for me. It was too tight in my arms. I was utterly devastated but thought okay fine; I’ll find another.

Well I am very annoyed to report I didn’t find another one. I was able to shop my closet and find a great blazer. I am so sick and tired of clothing only being for the tiny, skinny people. It’s utter crap. The worst is that so many stores now sell plus sizes but they are online only.

Well you know what. That doesn’t work for me. I want to be able to see the fabric to feel it and be able to try it on before I buy it and pay shipping and handling. Plus when it doesn’t fit then I’m still out the shipping and handling!

Back to the main topic. I’ve been on the hunt for a few weeks now and finally mom and I went to Kenwood Mall. We searched the mall for blazers. We really didn’t find much; it was a bit disappointing. So we decided to switch it up and look for accessories to make my current blazer look more amazing.

Mom and I were successful on that front. We found this adorable locket at Brighton and they printed the pictures and everything to go inside the locket.

I’m happy to say that even though Dexter cannot go with me to the swearing in I’ll have his picture in my necklace all day.
