Building a Wardrobe
Aug. 29th, 2015 09:20 pm( cut for discussion of weight )
So I am beginning a year long project to build a wardrobe. I'm going to have to start thinking differently about buying clothes. I'm going to have to recognize that shopping is going to be more time consuming and expensive for me. I'm going to have to travel to Atlanta and Savannah and to explore online shopping options. I need to find a tailor so that I can have clothes altered.
I've started doing some preliminary research, but I wanted to ask y'all for your help, too. Any recs for stores that carry good selections of plus size clothing (including business wear) and particular brands are welcome. Has anyone (plus size or not) shopped at Modcloth or eShakti? What was that experience like? How did the sizing run? Did you return anything? What did you think of the quality?
Any advice you can give me on wardrobe building, shopping, etc. would be heartily appreciated. Also, prayers to whatever deities you think might deign to listen that I can conceptualize this as a positive project instead of feeling like a loser and giving into despair would not go amiss.
