GOODBYE LOCAL NON-Plus Size STORES

I used to have problems shopping for 'plus size' woman clothes! All the local stores where I live usually carry clothes that have huge bright flowers on a blouse, street scenes from New York, or other graphics that target a younger crowd. I really didn't want to wear those types of trends for a woman of my age. As you know, woman of 'plus size' have large arms, and while I like to say, it carries power, I don't want a blouse cutting off my circulation. Finding plus size woman clothes of good quality from these local retailers is time consuming, because I never find what I want. When I do find something that fits, the material clings to my body and makes me feel uncomfortable.

So far, I am a satisfied plus size woman of 'Comfort in Fashion'. I no longer spend hours going from store to store trying to find relaxed plus size clothing in my size. Comfort in Fashion has sizes in 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, and 5x. Their clothes are made of high-grade quality, which allows circulation to my arms and it doesn’t cling to my body. I love that I can find fashionable plus size woman clothes targeted for my age, so I don’t have to feel embarrassed by a yellow blouse with white flowers that's obviously for teens.

Fashion at Middle School!: Sharing Plus Size Clothing Resources

This past Friday there was a party at my son's school. Given he just started Middle School and feels so grown up being in the 6th grade, he didn’t want to let down his friends, since he did promise them he was going to be there.

I slipped on my favorite white plus skirt and my "all-time-favorite" plus size top that hides my tummy. I looked stylish for a plus size woman. This reminds me, I need to teach my son about matching his clothes because he put on some red pants and a purple shirt. Talk about fashion failure! For now, I'll just let him be himself and have his own clothing style.

When we got to school, there was a DJ playing, concession stands, and a huge blow-up slide! Children were dancing, playing "tag-you're-it," and standing in what seemed to be a huge line to get on the slide. I quickly made friends with a few women who loved my shirt and wanted to know where I got it. They were surprised to hear that I bought my plus size blouse at an online store, in a size 3x, at discount ! In fact, these new women friend's loved the quality of the fabric and plus the fit.

I told the ladies to look online at Comfortinfashion.com for classic fitting clothing in plus sizes 1x to 5x. Since they trust my taste for plus size women's clothing, we exchanged numbers. I thought I would entertain them to a fashion clothing party at my house! I can’t wait to show these women my closet full of clothes! Well, maybe I’ll just bring a few women's shirts, pants and separates. I don't want to overwhelm these plus size women with my FABOULOUS collection of clothing so soon!
