Here we go, my first official Fatshion February post. I wanted to start off a bit bold and wear a crop top. There has been this amazing trend of fat babes in crop tops and I love love love it.
I bought this one at Old Navy a few years ago. I had no idea is really a crop top. I loved the color, which is a kind of blood orange ("shut the fuck up, it's red") with maroon stripes. When I got it home and tried it on, I realized it was really short and showed my mid riff in a way that (at the time) I was totally uncomfortable with. I think as fat people we are constantly made to feel shame for our belly's and must at all times keep them covered as to not offend the people around us (Oh my stars, a belly?!) which just makes me want to roll my eyes forever. So anyway, I never wore this shirt but couldn't seem to let myself get rid of it either and gosh, I am so glad I never tossed it.
At the time, I was very self conscious about my body and being fat. I had yet to embrace body positivity and really work to love this body I have. And let's face it, when you are constantly told your body is wrong, it's hard to imagine ever having the courage or self worth enough to wear a crop top even though they are cute as all heck.
I love short skirts. Don't get me wrong, I love a good long maxi skirt but there is something wonderful about wearing a short skirt. Maybe it's the show off in me or maybe it's just a more freeing feeling but either way, I love them. Skater skirts are becoming my favorite thing. This one is from Gstage. I was introduced to Gstage this past Christmas when my boyfriend's mother bought me a whole bunch a items from the their shop. She had picked out some very nice things but did not realize that their plus sizes were junior plus sizes, meaning they run much smaller than the sizes you would find at say, Lane Bryant or Torrid. Some of the things fit but a lot of it had to be returned. I could only get store credit so I have been picking and choosing items carefully to find something that will fit my size 24 body. This velvet skater skirt was something I was so happy to have actually fit. I have been dying to own a velvet skirt for awhile and have been drooling over the skater skirts over at Chubby Cartwheels. But as someone who doesn't have a lot of extra money to spend, I had to find a cheap alternative until I can lay my hands on one of those babies.

ASOS has a lot of really cute skater skirts including a leather one that I am currently crying over. I purchased a plain black one from ASOS a few weeks ago and I love it. I am sure it will show up on this blog at some point because it's super cute and comfortable. They have a lot of great sale items and they ship for free internationally. I always recommend ASOS's clearance section to someone who is looking for a good deal on some great clothes. They are probably my favorite shop, though sometimes can run a little big.
