Clothes shopping can be tough because I’m fat, but I do know how to sew and if worse comes to worst, I can create clothes for myself. Bra shopping is a pain, but at least no one will see those bras (without my permission). But shoes. Shoes. I’ve worn an 11 in women’s shoes since I was about 12 years old. And short of some cobbler elves helping me out, it will never stop sucking.

It’s World Breastfeeding Week! In celebration of this, I thought I’d share some beautiful necklaces that can be worn to entertain little hands when breastfeeding or babywearing. (more…)

I turned away from the cart for a moment to look at a T-shirt and I heard my three-year-old, Thomas, telling someone, "I LOVE intimate apparel."

"For real?" one of them asked politely as he shuffled past.
"Aw, shit! Check it out!" the other hooted, pointing to the sign in the underwear department. "Little man loves bras and shit!"
"I LOVE intimate apparel!" Thomas said, delighted with their reaction.
"Aw, snap! He's sayin' he likes underwear!"

Of course I understand that "personal style" is not the end-all, be-all goal when it comes to fashion. But that doesn't stop me from wishing that I had one.

Instead of having this sense, though, I find myself going to stores in the hope that I'll have some sort of revelation--maybe I'll see something I can't live without, and things will build themselves up from there.
